You're kinda sorta mistaken.  Warrants are NCOs given the rank because 
they are host sh*t in their specialty.  They aren't expected to command 
per se, but they usually do.

A 2nd Lt is a brand new wet behind the ears officer with more balls 
than experience.  If they stand up, take a bullet, and provide a 
glorious example for their men, they've done their job.

There are exceptions - the US Army commissions a lot of their helo 
pilots as warrants direct from the civilian world, and some enlisted 
guys will jump into the officer's rank - called a Mustang in the 
Marines.
