Let's see, based on your total experience in the military I guess you must have had much more experience than have I. I am not equating Ranger School grads with Ranger Regiment soldiers, in fact I have the highest regard for those in the Batts and have done more to support them and work with them than you will ever know. What I am talking about here is mindset, not quality of soldiers. I have had troops from the regiment that have moved on into SF and have done well, but I have also had the same that while good soldiers never really capable of expanding their horizons and vision beyond small unit tactics and the kill them all and let god sort them out mentality. Rangers are the finest light infantry in the world but that is only one skill set needed by a SF troop. And yes a Ranger is a Ranger is a Ranger when he looks at the world through his mindset of a light infantry soldier and that is a severe limitation.
