So the SF guys are primadonnas...but still worth it.

Damn right! (and of course they aren't pimadonnas at all when the sh*t really hit's the fan).

That one's easy:

They play very loud music for days, punch a hole in the side of the airplane with a tank, pump in tear gas, and machine-gun anyone who makes it out.

but would have used up, lost, or stolen all the "high speed" equipment issued to them.

Ahem..... cough.... er... 'Lost in transit' works for lots of things (I understand).

Your joke stinks....especially the "results"...Rangers would "not" have killed them all, just the terrorists...and anyone else who "stood" up....I actually consider myself a better shot than that. That 747 would have been flown by one of the "others" brought in by the Rangers to accomplish the task at hand.

As far as SF,..it does no good to "kill everyone", need to bring back someone. If the passengers are hurt psychologically, than so be it....don't want them to become part of the problem. As far as women passengers...ain't going to happen! And, as far as stealing equipment; SF does not steal anything...long term appropriation is the term. I have never nor have I ever known anyone who has stolen as much as a pen...just borrowed.

Now, what you failed to mention, is that the mission would have been accomplished with limited collateral damage (that's a political correct term, not mine), both elements would have returned, had a great time back at the FOB/REMAB site and, prepped for future operations.

First off it is not my joke - some other funny as$ sumb*tch put it all together -

And secondly, I don't like your above punch line all that much - So I'll stick with what the original JOKE has - (and some advice, don't try and take up a second career as a comedy writer). Wow.

Anyway, GreenCell, you would know there are plenty of differences in Ranger Regiment or in Group if you were in any of them. The thread joke has been in the military since time began so don't act like you haven't heard it before. So relax, and chill out.

ROFLOL. You would think GreenCell would know D would likely handle the problem.

WWPTS (What would Pat Tillman say)?

I've Ben neither a Ranger nor SF, but was an Army Brat for my first 18 years, so I know a little about Army people and Army life.

I think Pat Tillman would laugh. I hope he's laughing now.

We need both forces for particular purposes.

Upon encountering a snake in the Area of Operation (AO):

* Paratrooper: Kills the snake.
* Armor: Runs over snake, giggles, and looks for more snakes.
* Infantry: "Look, a putty cat. Come 'ere kitty . . . Ouch! Hey, that's not a kitty cat."
* Infantry (alt): "Ugh! Me see snake. Me like snake. Ouch! Me no like snake."
* Army Aviation: Has GPS grid to snake. Couldn't find snake. Back to base for crew rest and the club and some sort of drink called "The Snake"
* Ranger: Plays with the snake, then eats it.
* Ranger (alt): Assaults the snake's home and secures it for use by friendly snakes.
* SEAL: Expends all ammunition, several grenades and calls for naval gunfire in a failed attempt to kill the snake. The snake bites the SEAL then retreats to safety.
* Marine Recon: Follows the snake and gets lost
* Combat Controller: Guides the snake elsewhere.
* Para-Rescue: Wounds the snake in first encounter, then feverishly works to save the snake's life.
* Special Forces: Makes contact with the snake, builds rapport, wins its heart and mind, then trains it to kill other snakes.
