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!

Not Rangers. Raiders.

The USMC never had Rangers. That’s US Army.
