**Inside, veterans get quite offended when you misrepresent your military service.**

Yup. The most pissed folks are the operators.

I was not SF or Airborne nor do I have any scare badges, but it pisses me off at some level just below the operators. Their level of pissed off is reserved only for them.

Gamecock, Help me out here, please. You obviously know a little something about this stuff. From the article:

McDonald, former Procter and Gamble CEO, served with the Army's 82nd Airborne Division and completed jungle, arctic and desert warfare training, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

He earned the Ranger tab, the Expert Infantryman Badge and Senior Parachutist wings, the VA added, noting that McDonald, who retired as a captain, was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal after leaving the service.

What is the "Ranger tab"? I thought Rangers were considered Special Forces? No?
