They wanted Woolsey in, they got it, then they wanted him out, the Asian lady came in, they betrayed her for some other random candidate which resulted in an A+ to Dick's evaluation. I think Woolsey was the best fit (once he came around). Rational, sometimes cold, yet lenient enough to adapt of the reality in the Pegasus galaxy. He was my favorite out of all the Atlantis Commanders.
As for Young, what exactly do you expect the crooks from the IOA to do about it? It's not like any representative can be sent to the ship, it's all talk. Young didn't muscle his way in, he was trapped on the ship like everybody else and I do not see in this expedition anybody else that could stand up to take his place. If you recall, Young didn't even want the Icarus command in the first place. Wray definitely doesn't have the respect from all members of the crew, unlike Young (at the end of s2 when they got their sh*t together).
The day-to-day survival situation on Destiny calls for a military commander, not a civilian. Most importantly, the crew needs someone that can keep Rush in check.
