I always thought that it didn't go both ways. Officership in the Stormwind Army entitles one to have Knighthood in the Brotherhood of the Horse, but to be in the Brotherhood of the Horse doesn't entitle one to Officership in the Stormwind Army.

At least, that is how I see it. And it would make sense if the knighthood was hereditary, because you don't want random sons of respected knights saying they want to be an officer.

A baronet is, as I would have it, to be more for civilians that earned it through civil service.
