    Capt. Kristen Griest, 26, a military police platoon leader, and 1st Lt. Shaye Haver, 25, an Apache attack helicopter pilot, successfully completed the grueling 62-day Ranger School last month to become became the first female U.S. Army Rangers.

    Appears it used to be acceptable to refer to someone who graduated from the Army's Ranger School a "Ranger." What changed Dazzler?

    Btw, Dazzler I know it won't matter to you because you're incapable of ever admitting that you were wrong but it wasn't just the press who called these two women "Rangers" they were also called that in a Congressional citation.

    A bipartisan resolution with 38 cosponsors was introduced in the Senate in 2015 honoring Griest and Haver as “as our Nation’s newest United States Army Rangers.” The resolution passed the Senate by unanimous consent. An identical House resolution honoring Griest and Haver as “as our Nation’s newest United States Army Rangers” had 32 cosponsors, including veterans Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii and Tammy Duckworth of Illinois.

    “History will be made on Friday when these two female soldiers graduate as @USarmy Rangers,” Gabbard wrote on Twitter.

    So Cotton was being transparent in your mind, I guess.
