Is the Army weaker? Cav and Armor hold Bagdad. Marines hold most of the rest of the majorly troubled areas. How many rangers are in Iraq?

Shoot back in Desert Storm the only ground forces that saw combat were the Cav and the Marines.

The rangers are not an "elite" force, no matter how much they try to tell you they are. SF is elite, Pathfinders, yep, Delta Force (yeah I know they don't exist - I've seen where they don't train). The only skill rangers have over other infantry is that they knew how to wear their pretty (and stolen, again Cav wore them first and then the rangers, who then got the Cav forbidden to wear them) beanies, and they will go for days without sleep if you tell them to.

Or as MSG Sheridan (SF and fourth in the chain of command - Father, Son, Holey Ghost, MSG Sheirdan) used to say, "Rangers is stupid."
Who says Intra-Service Rivalry is a thing of the past?
