He’s a war-seeking NeoCon, not sure about the Ranger part.
AAC, thank you for the ping on this article. During my 20 years in the US Army I knew dozens of officers and NCOs who wore the Ranger tab because they went through the grueling Ranger course. Nearly every West Point officer I knew went through the Ranger school as part of the post-USMA graduation courses along with their branch qualification school. As others have stated, COL Wenger is correct!
RLTW.
Well, we know Rep. Jason Crow of Colorado is a Ranger. He won’t stop crowing about it.
If only those who command ranger companies are considered rangers then we can easily count not too many rounds on fingers and toes the number of commissioned Rangers in the US Army
So, the whiners are more than wrong...they’re also stupid.
God Bless Tom Cotton.
Is he perfect?
Hardly.
But we will need him and plenty like him when the darkness falls.
A soldier tabbed a Ranger is a Ranger. They can be called on to be duty slotted into a Ranger company at any time. Being slotted into the 75th is not a requirement to be a Ranger.
Correct. I’m a former infantryman and I served with a ton of people that had the tab. They were all Rangers. I was not a Ranger. Run of the mill infantry mortar man.
Yes indeedy— he is a large disappointment inculcated via- his “Ranger” tab. The author commenting is/was much more than a “Ranger” tab— with service in the 75th as a Ranger, so is good he sets the record straight on the tab that is awarded for the 62 day training.
It’s the Harvard “hahhhhhvahhhd” education that creates the Globalist oil patch RINO we see before us— who says the right things when he needs to appease his paymasters, but clearly pivoted against the Sovereign United States for which he took an OATH. An OATH. Which is meaningless as he covers is cat-hole on patrol.
Senator Richard Blumenthal, please pick up the red phone.
Tell us all about your false military career.
Of course, he is a Ranger:
Army Rangers, US Army’s definition, are personnel, past or present, in any unit that has the official designation of “Ranger”. The term is commonly used to include graduates of the US Army Ranger School, even if they have never served in a “Ranger” unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Rangers#cite_note-ranger-3
Ranger or no Ranger, he’s still a globalist sellout who betrayed his country for cheap political gain.
Lots of guys with Ranger tabs didn’t serve in the Ranger regiment.
It can be a ‘ticket punch’ they need to keep their military career moving. Or they’re men looking to prove themselves.
That doesn’t mean they aren’t Rangers. They completed the course (which is an utter and total torment from beginning to end) and that makes them a Ranger.
“That jives with my understanding. He went to Ranger school, passed and was authorized to wear the Ranger tab - he’s a Ranger”
Dan Rather couldn’t get over the fact how Duya’ had to have quite an extensive amount of aeronautical training to fly a supersonic fighter aircraft.
Most self appointed elitist boot lickers have very little concept of much of any real- world applications to sorting ones own affairs.
“.....Duya’ had to have quite an extensive amount of aeronautical training to fly a supersonic fighter aircraft.....”
Yeah an F102 a very dangerous plane to fly.
Isn’t this the same argument that Jesse Ventura was a SEAL when he actually was UDT (pre SEAL) and worked with SEALs prior getting discharged.
I doubt that any SEAL would question or begrudge a former UDT claiming to be a SEAL BUT the former UDT types I knew would not want to make that claim, so JV may have mentioned SEAL rather than have to explain what UDT was OR the label could have been put on him by an aid or MSM and he just didn’t deny it.
Neither are quite as bad as Blumenthal especially since he has a tendency to ‘scold’ people about LYING
Military.com lost all respectability before 2000 (my opinion). They gradually became the National Enquirer for military news. They are a total rag. They post some decent info at times, like promotions or details as to why an Officer or Chief was relieved. Like the Enquirer they occasionally break a story, like when the went after Amos. But as more civilians with no military experience became the writers and editors, it went hard left.
Tom Cotton could be president some day.
Amen!! You can say that again!
