You know, I've heard of a lot of folks, in the regular Army, who wear the Ranger tab though they didn't earn it. Hell, for that matter I KNEW plenty of folks that wore the Ranger tab legally and didn't earn it in RS, but rather they got it for their involvement in either RS or because they were a CO. The Ranger tab doesn't guarantee they went through the training. It dilutes the hard work of others, but it does happen. Personally, I found it irritating as did most of the guys I served with but probably wouldn't get in a fight over it, likely I would just rip it off their sleeve. However, SF is a different matter, those guys were pretty hard core and might take the arm off too .
