Someone sent me a link to a discussion at the Democratic Underground<\/a> started because some guy’s daughter called him a tool. But the real story starts when this guy who calls himself David West interjects himself into the conversation.<\/p>\n

West claims he’s a Ranger, that he was in the service for two years<\/a>. Then he strokes all of the DUers with his tales of blood-thirsty rangers who can’t stop themselves from killing<\/a>, and advocates for a part-time military instead of a standing army<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And the DUers eat it up with a spoon. <\/p>\n

Well, there is a David West on AKO who is assigned to the 3\/75th Rangers. His address is in Oregon, but last I checked, 3\/75th is in Georgia – that’s quite a commute, isn’t it? He’s a 13Fox – Indirect Fire Support Coordinator – an E-1. If he spent 2 years in the Ranger Battalions, his must’ve had a very unproductive career. <\/p>\n
