And being run by flawed individuals who make mistakes in judgment and bad decisions.
Data would be a Lt. Commander, same as he was in Nemesis. Deanna is presumably a Commander, at least we have no indication she ever advanced any further in rank.
I was 21 when TNG started

Now I know where Galaxy Quest got Sigourney Weaver's uniform from.

She's got it going on that one
A Trek staple in every era.
TOS = bad/evil Captains and officious, incompetent bureaucrats.
TNG/DS9 = bad/evil Captains as well as Admirals and officious, incompetent bureaucrats.
DSC = Starfleet brass as well as civilian representatives more than willing to commit planetary genocide during a war.
The uniforms and technology change but the imperfections remain the same. The Federation pretends it's a utopia but it's just a really well-oiled and shiny machine with a large amount of grime under the hood and occasional dangerous drivers.

TOS had that too.
Yep. General Order 24 wasn't a bluff. Scotty went along like it was a normal page in the emergency handbook.
We just like to pretend it was a bluff so we can feel better about Roddenberry's universe.

I was a month away from 20 when TNG started.
But the Eminians were listening. Scotty could have been just playing along so they would fall for it.
Nah, that was just a Starfleet policy. After DSC revealed that even Ambassador Sarek of Vulcan was glad to go along with an Admiralty plan to detonate a bomb at the heart of the Klingon Homeworld it's been clearer than ever that the shiny world of the Federation is more gloss and public image than actual internal behavior.
"A Taste of Armageddon" was made two decades after Truman ordered two atomic bombs dropped on Japan, and written by people either in WWII or definitely remembered.
Speaking of remembering, happy Memorial Day.
Well, happy and sad, but you know what I mean.

Oh yeah they were more then willing to blow up a planet.
Yep. Refer to General Order 24 from TOS S1 A Taste Of Armageddon.
I was going to post this in the soundtrack news thread but I do not want to post too many times in a row, so this beautiful Titan theme remix can go here instead.

*Reads the last page*
Why do I hear creaking bones and laborious, wheezed, breathing?
.
Let's see.... I remember catching an episode of TOS or two and TNG on late nights.
My first Star Trek material was Ghost Ship, a pocket book I found at the free hospital bookcase. I thought and still do think it was really cool.
I think it was 2005 when I started learning about Star Trek.
Enterprise was my first series. I love it. Flaws and all. TOS I find interesting as a relic. Its good. TNG is so long I never caught all the episodes. I didn't know Riker was without a beard XD outside of Farpoint. Never got to see DS9 or VOY. No ship named Enterprise, no attention of mine.
