Remember I'm from the country where "Orders are bestoved upon idiots." Presumably that's order as in 'Order of the Garter' (ie honour) rather than order as in command. Though often it's the idiots who receive the former for giving the latter. I'm still waiting for my ribbon-Puttana!-ribbon. Inyati!

Though often it's the idiots who receive the former for giving the latter. Indeed. Maybe a more correct tranlation would be "Orders are hung on idiots" Judge for yourself:

Those who are renowned are known merely by the lays sung and tales woven about their courageous deeds, perhaps it doesn't hurt to show off to those are blind and deaf to the canon that is though.

Ha! 20 and counting (4 colonyships in action as I write this) Presumably that's order as in 'Order of the Garter' (ie honour) rather than order as in command. Though often it's the idiots who receive the former for giving the latter. Indeed. Maybe a more correct tranlation would be "Orders are hung on idiots" Judge for yourself: I think I'm partly to blame for this quote to be in your present memory, right? I totally respect the wishes to not have these orders, however I also find it a perculiar Danish way of thinking (may be present in other cultures, no doubt) that there must be something wrong with anyone that excels in something. In many ways, we Danish seem to celebrate our losers much more than our winners It may have helped us achieve a higher level of satisfaction with our lives, by lowering our expectations Anyway, I like these orders - that much is evident.

Unless perhaps its just a way of making sure the 'winners' (as opposed to losers) don't get too big headed?
Not sure how much sense this makes (or if its really even relevant in this situation) but a good Sergeant isn't necessarily a good General, so why decorate and promote one too much?
