“Army Ranger”’poasts here??

He is closer to being a Ranger than Warren is to being an Indian.

Take this shit to the Tug!

All posts about army ranger school need to go to the Tug now

As real as Oregon’s pac 12 title
#StolenValor -
The ad says he volunteered doesn't say he was accepted and made it. Careful word choice.
-
Is that like one of us volunteering to be defensive coordinator?
-
I've driven a Ranger. Does that count?
-
He completed the two month Ranger school but never served in a Ranger battalion. From what I understand he can call himself a Ranger but a better description is Ranger qualified. Sounds like the Army needs to draw the distinction because even they can’t agree on the terms.

I think Creepy leftist moron Tom Arnold has a reading comprehension problem. 😂😂😂
I don’t know what Tom Cotton said but to tender this bullshit picture as evidence is laughable........nowhere in this picture does Tom Cotton say he was an Army Ranger. 😂😂😂 -
Tom Cotton of Arkansas has accrued a resume tailor-made for a Republican politician: He leapt from a small-town Arkansas cattle farm to Harvard University and then Harvard Law School; he left a leading New York firm to join the military after George W. Bush's re-election; he was discharged after nearly eight years and two war-zone deployments as an Army captain and decorated hero — including two commendation medals, a Bronze Star and a Ranger tab.
In his first run for Congress, Cotton leaned heavily on his military service, claiming to have been "a U.S. Army Ranger in Iraq and Afghanistan," and, in a campaign ad, to have "volunteered to be an Army Ranger." In reality, Cotton was never part of the 75th Ranger Regiment, the elite unit that plans and conducts joint special military operations as part of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command.
Rather, Cotton attended the Ranger School, a two-month-long, small-unit tactical infantry course that literally anyone in the military is eligible attend. Soldiers who complete the course earn the right to wear the Ranger tab — a small arch that reads "Ranger" — but in the eyes of the military, that does not make them an actual Army Ranger.
So I read the article. Decorated combat vet. Better than me that's for sure.
I think stolen valor is a real charcter defect. I think Cotton should clean some things up and not benefit from any confusion
But as always when the left launches a smear, wait for the rest -
Should have claimed he fought in "Nam" then the Rats would have been cool with it.

That's a fair take. But let's be honest - if that were Biden's kid, he'd be pig roasted for it here.RaceBannon said:Tom Cotton of Arkansas has accrued a resume tailor-made for a Republican politician: He leapt from a small-town Arkansas cattle farm to Harvard University and then Harvard Law School; he left a leading New York firm to join the military after George W.

The picture seems inauthentic. Cotton is a smart dude, and "Afganistan" is misspelled. If it is authentic, it needs cleaning up as another post suggests. Reading doesn't just involve sounding out words, unless you're a fucking retard. It means reading for comprehension and understanding, including understanding of the writer's intent. So if you read under the words "Battle Tested Leader", the words "volunteered to be an Army Ranger" and "Fought in Iraq and Afghanistan" and you take away anything other than he fought in Afghanistan and Iraq as an Army Ranger, you yourself are a retard.DJDuck said:I think Creepy leftist moron Tom Arnold has a reading comprehension problem. 😂😂😂

You should have limited your post to "I don't know." -
Guy volunteers after 9/11, serves two combat tours, earns a Bronze Star, completes Ranger school, and some vague wording over it from some random flyer is an issue?
Richard Blumenthal ring a bell? -

Maybe you should learn a little reading comprehension education moron. I said “I DON’T KNOW ABOUT........WHAT HE SAID” Einstein. Talk about trying to give people the wrong impression about what a person means.........creepycoug said:

The point remains nowhere did he say he was an Army Ranger. To say that he did is a .........FUCKING LIE.
Tom Arnold lied. Fuck him. He is a left wing nutjob.

You unambiguously focused on the picture as "laughable". The qualifier that you don't know what he said is entirely irrelevant.DJDuck said:

Assuming the picture authentic, and I doubt it is, the writer wanted you to think Cotton served as a Ranger overseas. If you don't know that, then you actually are dumb and choke on political cock as a side hustle.
I generally don't have a problem with Cotton. But puffing up your military service is a no-no, no matter who does it and when. I never defend it. And in Cotton's case, it's gratuitous and unnecessary. He served. That should be enough. And there's other evidence, submitted by another poster in this thread, that he's pushed this Ranger narrative a little beyond acceptable bounds.
Also, what's with the ellipses? Do you know how those are supposed to be used? We speak English here. -

All as I've said below. And yes, it sure does. I don't know how that guy shows his face in public. Or others who have done it. It's disgraceful.NorthwestFresh said:Guy volunteers after 9/11, serves two combat tours, earns a Bronze Star, completes Ranger school, and some vague wording over it from some random flyer is an issue?

The issue in the thread was the alleged ad, which I've said twice seems inauthentic given the misspelling. If it is real, then it's a fair point to criticize. The article Race summarized fairly presents the issue. -
Don't see the problem.
I'll be adding "Volunteered for Naval Aviation" to my resume.
Thanks for the tip, Tom

Then you’d actually have to go through the training and serve two combat tours. You don’t have that much effort in you. Stick with the Blumenthal approach of just blatantly lying about serving in Vietnam.HHusky said:Don't see the problem.

(The Navy volunteered to tell me that they'd be happy to have me attend OCS, but that I really didn't know shit about aviation.) -
I was a Airborne Ranger 1989-1995
