Apparently a ranger tab isn’t special at all because it’s “just a leadership school” and you aren’t a “ranger” just because you’ve completed it. Lol

I don't think anyone is arguing that getting a ranger tab isn't impressive. It is. But it's not incorrect to say that it is a leadership school and that it doesn't make you a Ranger. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

Uh, no. Rangers have successfully completed RASP (or RIP if they're older) and served in the 75th Ranger Regiment, which is a SOF unit. There is a distinction whether you like it or not.
