This is is sort of bordering on a what if.

But what I'm trying to figure out is - were the best qualified people picked for the positions in the government, to begin with? Or were compromises made so that all areas would be represented and merit came second?

It might not have changed the war if someone else had been say, secretary of the treasury. But it would be interesting to know how they determined who became what and on what basis.
