Rangers lead the way

Former Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura said Monday that he is willing to step into the presidential race if Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders doesn't win the presidential nomination.
"They're setting the groundwork for me because if Bernie loses, by the time we get to June, how sick are the people going to be of all these people," the former professional wrestler and Navy SEAL told the Daily Beast.
Ventura ran for governor of Minnesota in 1998 as a member of Ross Perot's Reform Party, and served in the position until 2003. He said that Sanders and Donald Trump are "ripping him off" with their campaigns centered around radical, outsider ideas.
"See, I'm an Independent and I despise the two parties," Ventura said. "I love what Trump's doing to the Republicans. He's got them in complete disarray. In fact, it looks like the WWE when you watch their debates."

Are you comparing that widow-suing pig Ventura to the heroes of Pont-du-Hoc?
Are you saying that Ventura wasn't fully Special Forces?
“Trump in many ways is like Jesse Ventura.”
You nailed it there. if you have time, read a columnby a Minnesota blogger about the similiarities between Ventura and Trump.

That’s unfortunate.....just ask the average Minnesotan how that worked out.
Period.
Rangers lead the way
Maybe he pissed off the politicians, Corporate donors, media personalities who were making a living off the dirty budget and taxes.
“AFAIK, the missions and training were/are the same.”
No, tactics and training have changed drastically from the training in the 1950s which is when Jesse Ventura went through BUDS.
“In WWII, they were called Rangers, so what?”
No, in WWII they were called, “UDT” and/or “EOD”/frogmen. Rangers, Green Berets, Delta Force, SEALs and the Air Force rescue teams or any of the other ‘special’ units were/are separate entities with different tasks/training.
“Climb this cliff with your bare hands under enemy fire with a knife in your teeth and kill the bastards waiting for you at the top, and we’ll talk more about your “label.” “
The people who did that were Army Rangers, not UDT so that since you know nothing about me then that statement serves no purpose, does it? ;-)
The intent of my post was for technical accuracy. The MSM does not care about ‘little’ things like technical accuracy. That was my only point. ;-)
Jesse Ventura sued the estate/wife of Chris Kyle after Chris Kyle’s untimely death. For that alone he should not be ‘promoted’ to anything above scum.
Why the hell not.
This cycle looks like a clown car. He will fit right in.
Jesse! Cause they ain’t enough CRAZY in the race so far.
BTW: Define "Conservative."
You don’t read much, apparently.......
And BTW......IF, you are seeing that...( which I don’t see...), but if you are...then what has happened to this very CONSERVATIVE website??????
Notice you didn't define "Conservative."
For all your details you somehow forgot the most important one - the MISSIONS are the same. Although you did deliberately avoid that subject by talking about tactics. How honest of you.

Tactics/Missions are inter-related, aren’t they? ;-)
But to answer you specifically, NO, the missions have changed drastically, TOO! ;-)
You read stuff...here...and make comments.
People can agree...or not.
Same as me...
You can decide to not reply..or reply.

What say you?
Your guess would be as good as mine I suppose.
I called him a Populist early on. Wish I'd have bookmarked that post.
