A question about the USA's military cabinet.

[SovietAmerika]

Not that it truly affects me when playing, but I have noticed something rather weird when I look at the USA's cabinet during gameplay. If I play as Germany and look at the USA under the diplomacy menu, they start out with the Paternal Autocrats in charge of the military (Parker Sage, Kenneth Althaus, James Colescott, and Charles Lindbergh.) Also, if I start as the USA, I just get the standard Social Liberal ministers (Craig, Brantley, etc.) As I don't really play other nations in vanilla HoI2 other than Germany and the US, I would not know about them. Does anyone know why starting a game as Germany gives the US different military ministers than starting as the US itself?

There's a block of faulty events in the US AI files that installs them into power.

Hm, that's rather interesting, I guess you can say it's a German conspiracy plot, lol.

It is irritating though. As a player, I would like to choose many of those.

I think you have cabinet ministers available from closely related ideologies, so if you are Social Conservative you often have Market Liberal and Paternal Autocrat ministers to choose from - Is this not the case with the major powers?
