scothunter 12,609 Posted August 7, 2012 Report Share Posted August 7, 2012 Soldiers are recognised by various medals. The Victoria cross being the military gold do to speak. Sure no squaddie would want a knight hood anyway. It's more a celebrity gesture nowadays., lost its true meaning many years ago 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnny boy68 11,726 Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Chris Hoy or Redgrave, Pinsent etc.....never asked to be knighted. I think the London Olympics motto is spot on tbh "Inspire a generation!" My 5 & 6 yr old have been glued to these Games saying they're going to try this sport and that, if these Games can instill some pride and belief in my little uns imagine what its doing for young sportsmen/women around the country, lets applaud these Games and the stars of them for being truly INSPIRATIONAL !! If every soldier was knighted for serving in a war/wars then the acolade would mean feck all, thats why they have militry service medals. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
