I know many who served in th 75th without the Ranger Tab. Were they Rangers? Damned right.

SGT Edward Wilcox - That is where you stand -- I work in an officed with several degreed professionals - If one were to come in the office and ask for a doctor, we'd all look to the former army medic to respond -- it's all perspective

CSM Chuck Stafford - Then you must not have anyone in the office with a PhD. And no one would come in asking for *a* doctor, they would come in asking for Doctor *name*. So, no, it isn't a matter of perspective.
But, you do you, no matter how wrong it is.

No, words have meanings. If you have a Doctorate, you're a Doctor. Medical Doctors are just one type of Doctor.

So he is a ranger -- never a doubt -- and thank goodness the team here is not pretentious

I have respect for those who went to Ranger School and those who served in the 75th. We have a discussion comparing MD, Medical Doctor with PHD, advanced degree in a specific area of knowledge. Both wear the title Doctor but neither can wear the title Doctor with out the education provided by PHD’s. That this discussion exists, in at least two posts on Rally Point proves that Tom Cotton was not disingenuous. He hasn’t repeated the claim, served honorably so no problem in my book. I wonder where Sollenberg, the writer of the Solon article served?
