It takes 13 months for 75th Rangers to train before seeing combat

rangers go to

basic
AIT
airborne school
RASP
then they get trained in their unit and deploy
rangers deploy all the time.

the seals join the navy and go to buds and then do a bunch of training because they have absolutely no training.

there are more seals than rangers. the seals are just the navy throwing money at recruits that are fit enough to not get smoked out of buds. They just throw money at training them after that.

the 75th ranger is a elite highly professional airborne infantry unit designed to work side by side with ODAs, delta force and other branches special operators. enabling those units to do their specialzed mission by acting as blocking forces, QRF, ect

The point he is making is that Special Forces (Green Berets) != Special Operations. SF can be SOF, but not all SOF are SF. Rangers are SOF, yes, but therefore are not SF

It was one battalion vs a city.

They did pretty fucking good considering the numbers.

Dipshit.

Rangers are the top infantry, they do infantry stuff. Contrary to movies, majority of SOF dont do infantry stuff, they do observation and asymmetrical skirmishing, among other things. They avoid fights where possible and aren't equipped for protracted standing engagements. So when they get in a big fight, they call in a ranger force, because 4 guys with ARs aren't going to last against a superior determined foe.

Wasted as fuck.

What a shame

>160 dudes on foot with only small arms vs 4000+ armed and 10,000+ unarmed/improv-armed niggers who have vehicles, light artillery, and home field advantage
>still successfully completed their mission

>What exactly does the 75th do
Break or capture shit really well on short notice when a more conventional war tool is needed. During the initial 2003 invasion of Iraq they were used to capture airfields and other strategic assets then went on to do raids on HVTs. In Afghanistan they are also used for raids. In both theatres of operation they have worked alongside tier 1 units. Their job is to be light infantry and they do it well.

SEALs and like groups are analogous to a scalpel, the do quick, precise, relatively short ops and they have a very specific skillset that doesn't lend itself very well to operating outside those skillsets. Scalpels, as good as they are for their specific tasks, aren't really a good choice for anything else. 75th is a sledgehammer, it's big, bulky, quite a bit slower to get out of the toolbox and swing around, but you can use it for a lot more things than you can a scalpel.

Rangers are perfectly adequate at things like HVT capture, raids, ambush, harassment of supply lines etc. Are top-tier SOF dudes a better choice for these missions? Sure, that's what they excel at. But can those SOF dudes cordon a city block, or plug the line in case of a conventional brawl? Capture a heavily defended airfield? Conduct a counter-attack after a failed enemy offensive?

Unintentional scroll of truth meme right here

Might as well be true.

they are literally just better infantry.

They're what the Marine Corpse wants everyone to think their infantry is, but they actually weed people out, have money for training, train to a standard and most importantly they have been getting combat deployments for the past 17 years straight, whereas the entire USMC has been sitting on the sidelines being dripfed money and training wishing they were Rangers.
