He didn't say that Rangers were equivalent to Marine infantry, we know that's not true, but that their demeanor and attitudes tend to be similar.
In case you thought I meant to say that the 75th was more elite than SF and the SEAL teams, I didn't mean that. I meant to say that the 75th was more elite than USMC infantry. Poor choice of wording I suppose.
I haven't been in the service, I'm just reiterating what a QP told me and what I've heard from other sources, and this seems to be the general consensus.
If I'm off-target please correct me.
