The 75th Ranger Regiment (Army Rangers) are a Special Operations airborne unit. They are a Light Infrantry unit that specializes in taking large targets like an airfield.

The Green Berets are the US Army’s traditional Special Forces.

The SEALs are the US Navy’s Special Operations unit. Skilled in maritime activities.

Pararescumen (PJ’s) are Air Force special operators from the 24th STS that embed with other SOF teams.

Technically Large Targets like an airfield are seized by one of the Airborne (18th Airborne Corps) units like the 82nd, 173rd, or 25th. (It’s their specialty “Airfield Seizure”) Rangers technically specialize it Direct Action missions, they go in and just wreak havoc.

This is because the difference in size. One goes up to a corps/division (Airborne) the other only goes up to a regiment in size. (Rangers)

Sure, the 82nd could seize an airfield.

But the Rangers are trained to do that as well, and are more than capable of taking an airfield. They will also provide security for special missions being carried out by other elite units like 1st SFOD-D & DEVGRU.
 
Yeah I have no issue. My family is in Lakeland and Germantown. I never feel unsafe. I also grew up in Bartlett so I’m not afraid of black people. This will probably be taken the wrong way but I don’t care. I feel like most people who bitch aren’t cultured and live in white suburbia. Hence why they feel uneasy. I was at Payne’s last trip and still didn’t worry.


Why! I’ve been good. Buddy was clearing out bourbon Counties from 2014 to now. I had to help
It is strange, my family was very poor in my early years, but was pretty well off after I was about 8ish...so I experienced both sides of the tracks. I think you're right about it being cultural, but I don't think middle to upper class folks of any color feel at ease in either inner city slums, or backwoods trailerparks..

If you’re not bothered by “urban” surroundings, you need to head down to South Memphis and check out Tom’s BBQ. It’s on Getwell.

Some of the best in the City.

Moved this here because this is where it belongs.

Incorrect.
It is absolutely possible for a person to believe their race, religion, sect or cause is superior, despite being "outgunned" at a time of battle for control.
It happens continuously throughout history and current times.

Everyone here has met or seen/heard rants of superiority from a member of a race, ethnic group, religion or even tribal faction REGARDLESS of their victory or defeat in a clash of cultures.

I used to mess with you because of your incorrect understanding of definitions and situations, I stopped because I no longer find your takes amusing. Instead, I find your ignorance on these matters counter productive and borderline harmful.

While we share a belief that racism is still prominent in many areas, your delusional view that only the previously victorious side can include ignorance fueled false beliefs, is just so misguided.
I can only hope, one day, we see a virtual end to all forms manufactured hate stemming from differences. But without question, your misguided beliefs do nothing to usher this day in, instead, they only help hinder it's arrival.

Now, back to my normal sunny and carefree daily disposition, ya freaking moran.
He doesn’t even have the talking points down right. He’s missing the “argument” that racism can only come from a position of “institutional power”.

The 2nd part is very true. Not saying that the Rangers won’t or can’t seize an airfield but it is not one of their missions and they do not train on it regularly like the 82nd does.

A great example of an airfield seizure can be seen during Operation Just Cause at Torrijos Airport.
 
Which is why no one watches them. A bunch of 1 percenters who know nothing about what life is like for an average American but who think that they’re smarter than everyone and that they can tell us what to think. You couldn’t pay me to watch the Oscars

no one watches Oscars bc no one has time to commit to watching a three hour show where awards are given to rich people....this broke ass economy wont allow us to get ahead.

i wish i could summon that voice from 80's Justice League Cartoons....'meaaanwhile back in the real world'. Middle Class America gets the shaft while people with their heads above the clouds go play dress up. Enjoy guys...got an 8am sales call.

You do know that most actors weren't born famous actors right? Just because they followed their dreams and became successful at it doesn't mean their opinion means any less than yours or mine.

Their opinions aren’t more valuable because they know how to memorize lines and recite them in dramatic ways either.

😁 Were you 82nd? Yes, Airborne is fully capable, and the 82nd is one of the best paratrooper units in the world.

My only point was that Rangers can, and have, seized airfields during combat operations.

Operation Urgent Fury -
75th Rangers air drop at Point Salines International Airport, seizing the airfield and making way for the 82nd to land and take over.

Operation Just Cause -
75th Rangers drop at Rio Hato Airfield, seizing the runway and surrounding facilities.

75th Rangers drop at Omar Torrijos Airport, seizing the runway and tower before giving way to the 82nd.

Operation Iris Gold -
75th Rangers drop at Ali Al Salem Airfield in Kuwait City.


Just a few examples 😬

Hence the direct action 😉, they basically shock and awe the target. (Suppose I was wrong to an extent - 82nd attacks the larger force and secures what is left)

Well played. You were either one a 75th Ranger or a very well read individual or both!
