"How shall we know you?"

I think that Colin Powell is the real deal when it comes to his medals and other accomplishments.

I also think that it takes quite a bit of political acuity in order to achieve the rank of General.

There are a plethora of people out there wearing honors that are not exactly deserved.

How to know me? Hmm, I ain't got no medals, but I do pay attention to a few folks that have been around some that do.

I think that General Powell is a great man but I would not want a politician to be quarterbacking my team.

There are a plethora of people out there wearing honors that are not exactly deserved.

So what is the definition of deserved honors and undeserved honors? Do those who agree with you deserve their's while those who disagree with you do not?
