Ash and or Kaidan fought just as hard as Sheperd to save the galaxy.I say the title is well deserved. Good for them if true.
It is not about how hard someone fights or whether or not they deserve it.
Let us look at Spectres. The Codex entery states that a Spectre can nutrilize problems with diplomacy or force; the choice is up to them. So, obviouly character doesn't really play too much a role. Saren was a ruthless son of a ****. Nihlus was much kinder, but had moments of being a little cold. Shepard became a Spectre whether we was Paragon Shep or Renagade Shep. Also there have been many veterans worthy of praise over the years. C-sec officers, war generals, heroes of various battles, etc. That doesn't matter. They have to have the skills for it.
Lets look at the Spectres we know. Nihlus, Saren, Sheperd, and Vasir. Saren put up a hell of a fight. He was a badass. no matter how evil. Nihlus fought Samara for days on end; he fought against a Justicar and survived. Vasir was an amazing biotic who was hard to get a good bead on.
As for Shepard, I always stick to the soldier (don't hound me for my choice, just stick with me) and as a soldier, Shepard can find a target, and kill them in under 2 seconds (for regular infantry), this is less than the time it takes for most enemies to even pick a target. If he doesn't kill the target in less than 2 seconds, he can empty a full clip (the Mattock) and take out a massive enemy's shields/armor/barrier. Soldier Shepard can take a beating and dish out at a pace that only Spectres can keep up with, and even then, they can barely keep up.
When it comes to candidates for Spectres, there are very few that I'm aware of. The only human candidates would be Miranda and Jack. Whether you like Miranda's character or not, she is an amazing warrior. She can take down synthetics. She's a strong (not
amazing but clearly above average) biotic. She was engineered to be superior. Ash/Kaiden were above average at best. Miranda can take either, easily. Jack is a superior biotic. There is no human with better biotics. She can rival a six or seven hundred year old Asari. She is a beast. Personally, I wouldn't give her that status simply because she is too much of a loose cannon and unstable. She is not reliable.
As for Garrus, he
might be worthy of Spectre status. He's not as qualified as Shepard or Miranda, and I do not say this lightly. He is my favorite squadmate, and favorite squadmate, but he is only second in ability to Miranda.
If Thane wasn't dying, he could be a good candidate. He knows his way around a gun and he's a pretty good biotic. He get's jobs done and is one of the most efficient killers out there. He is a one man Black Op team.
Samara could be one, if she wanted, but she's a Justicar. She wont bother. Liara is a great biotic, but that's it. She doesn't really have the air of a Spectre.
Wrex could be one. He's a Krogan biotic. Those are rare, and he is deadly. He could manage. Sadly, he wouldn't take the job. He's all about the Krogan, and could give a damn about the Citadel and its affairs.
But, there is yet another factor for Spectres; and that's a sense of duty and reliability.Shepard has them. Nihlus had them. Even Saren, in his own twisted way had them. So did Vesir. That's why I stand behind Miranda as a good candidate. When it comes to a sense of duty and reliability, Ash/Kaiden have them, but they lack in ability. Garrus has the sense of duty.
All in all, Spectires need have amazing combat abilities, a sense of duty and they have to be reliability.
