 Special Forces vs Rangers, who’s better?
by George E. Hand IV 2 days ago


By my title I mean to say that nobody moves through the countryside like Army Rangers. Patrolling is the cornerstone of most of what the Rangers do in the realm of Small Unit Tactics (SUT). Rangers are so well-versed, practiced, and so good at moving through areas undetected that they continue to do it subconsciously long after they have retired from the Military.

I ran into a former 2/75 pipe-hitter at a city park recently. I never even knew he was there until he bumped into a waste receptacle and made it rock back and forth. I said:

“Woah, dude… were you ever in the 75th Regiment?

“Oh… heh-heh-heh, yeah — how did you know?

“Because I can’t see you, dude!”

This is ridiculous. For one thing,probably half or more of the people in SF are Ranger School graduates.

For another,ever heard of MACV-SOG?

Delta Force?

I think that article was supposed to be funny.  It was written by a guy who is a retired MSgt., and I expect he's very shortly going to be a retired comedian.

We all know insider jokes can be funny as hell,but the problem with them is you have to be an insider and know the people being made fun of for them to be funny.
