Reagan was also knighted. It is, on this side of the water, purely honorary. How they treat it on the other side of the water (real) is their business.

After the first Gulf War, General Schwartzkopf was made an honorary Knight by Queen Elizabeth. Same with Generals Marshall and Eisenhower after WWII.

I see. Warm relations and their way of honoring men in their country.

I still think they should have to NOT use the title in the US or wait until they are retired from their office to accept it out loud, even if only honorary......
