Subject: US Army Rangers or Green Berets
GOP    8/1/2005 1:52:37 PM
Although the Rangers are considered a SOF group, they are basically highly trained light infantry (some consider them the best light infantry in the world). Green Berets are considered a more elite and more highly trained group, designed for DA, SR, and the training of foreign militaries/insurgent groups. I have two questions: 1) The US Army Rangers have, from what I have read, tougher training then the Green Berets. Is this true, and if so, how are the Green Berets more elite? 2) If your goal is to be in Delta force, which of the two organizations would be the better choice to get to Delta? The Rangers work with Delta force alot as a blocking/security force, and the Green Berets are more of a classical special ops group.

SF isn't a move up from Rangers. Guys do it in Battalion, I've been thinking about it for awhile, but it's considered a lateral move. It doesn't have the same awe that Delta has.
You ask a guy in Battalion,
"Hey what happen to so and so?"
"Oh he went to Delta"
"Oh ****, that's awesome!"
But if you say, "Oh he went SF."
Ive straight up seen guys go, "Why?"
