Rick Lake: Ok. I agree. We are both FE fans but of different composites. Thats fair.

I don't think any Rangers wash out to become SEALs. Ones Army the other Navy.

I know that many Rangers aspire to join the DELTA squads.

SEALs and DELTA are similar in their use and applications. Covert ops and black ops. This is my understanding. Not that I am an expert in this area though.

Rangers serve a different purpose. The Ranger moto "Rangers lead the way" was as I remember coined in WWII in light of the Rangers expertise in beach assaults and special assault missions. SEALs and DELTA don't see much action in major battles and assaults. Again my understanding. Rangers in training and capabilities are supposed to be the elite of the major infantry forces.

BTW I appreciate your tolerance of the Jews. Just out of curiousity, what crap goes on in E. Brunswick that gets you mad.

...In town the Rangers replaced the 47th Armored infantry battalion, 8th Division. Three Ranger lieutenants showed up at the 47th's CP. "They asked for the enemy positions and the road to take... They stopped and said, "Lets go men.' . We heard the tommy guns click and without a word, the Rangers moved out. Our morale went up in a hurry."
