With all due respect you don’t know what the hell you are talking about. Getting through Ranger School does not make you special forces. Getting in to the 75th Ranger Regiment would. Just as graduating SEAL, Green Beret or MARSOC.

You misunderstand. I never said getting through Ranger school makes you special forces. I said that rangers are special operations.

Perhaps I hit post to soon on that last one. Just to be sure I’m not misunderstood.... You are aware of the difference between special operations and special forces? Rangers are special operations. Not special forces. Marines are neither. Not to say that Marines, Rangers, and SEALS don’t become Green Berets, delta force or other special forces. But, that is additional training and they are chosen individually from those units. No, I am not an expert but I believe that is correct.
