Excuse me, I should have probably created a Special Forces List..
Yep, Ranger school is hell though.. literally.
Ranger School certainly sucks. However, Ranger Regiment is the Army's actual Ranger unit that conducts Ranger Missions (they used to specialize in taking down airfields).
Lots of people go to Ranger School and never go to Ranger Regiment.
True that, Most people do it for the Patch and gain some Bragging Rights, and rightfully so. Most Infantry Officers go through that to make sure their Men know he's been through shit and knows what to do..
It's a de facto requirement for Infantry Officers. If you don't have a tab, you are most likely going to have a rough time when you get to your unit. Many people do it for bragging rights, but in reality, it's just good training. No more. No less.
