Although His Grace may have had a bit of "hometown pride" in his comment, I
do agree that there is more to being a member of the Chivalry than fighting.
Take a look at the members of the Belted Circle. The vast majority have at
least Grant level awards in either A&S or Service. Many are Barons to the
Court and have held, at a minimum, Regional offices.

Not too shabby for a bunch of knuckle-dragging stick jocks.
