COMMANDER JAMES BOND, CMG, RNVR (Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan, Daniel Craig), a/k/a AGENT 007 OF HM SECRET SERVICE, and once miscalled SIR JAMES BOND KCMG (David Niven), was and is the most valuable member of that elite force within Her Majesty's Secret Service known as the Double O section, the members of which are literally licensed to kill. (In fact, Admiral Sir Miles Messervy, the first "M" or head of the Secret Service when Bond got his Double O number, once offered to recommend Commander Bond for knighthood. Out of the sheer stubbornness of the Scottish peasant he was and is, Bond definitely refused. See Fleming I, The Man With the Golden Gun, for details.)
