Thank you! A Ranger is a US Army designation. Per Wikipedia: “U.S. Marines presented with the Ranger Tab are not authorized to wear it on their uniforms.”
The guy is a LIAR, but Wikipedia included 5 presstitute sources for that tidbit about Phillips being a Recon Ranger. No one who has been in the military would describe themselves that way. A Marine might say of himself “Lance Corporal” or “Gunnery Sergeant” or some other widely understood rank and job. “Recon Ranger” sounds elite and dangerous, and like something a Liberal would just make up, as they do.
Let’s see the DD214.
Well, the Marines did have Rangers in WWII. They were special forces, basically SEALS of the day. At the end of the war, they were decommissioned. When MARSOC was formed in 2005, guys were claiming the old Ranger title, but it was not until around 2014 that Rangers name in the Marines was official again. You can search Marine Ranger and read about them. But yea, Recon Ranger? Maybe he meant he was a Power Ranger!
