[MR] 4th Peerage

[Smith CTR Jeffrey C]

My Lady,

Wouldn't a Pelican or Laurel be just as good an award for that?  All peerages are equal, aren't they?

Now the question of "do they fit into an existing Peerage"?? No I dont think they do.  Yes rapier (for example) is both an art and a science, however in that light so is heavy fighting, so a rapier fighter can no sooner be considered a Laurel as a heavy fighter could. And the fact that heavy fighting has its own peerage would say that in all fairness non-heavy combatents should have their own.  Lets face it, there are certainly some rapier fighters out there that have honed their craft to such a degree as to have achieved Mastery in their craft, this point can not be argued, so why not award them with a title of that achievment???

Just my two cents.
