As an Army veteran, both enlisted and commissioned and as someone who "saw the elephant", I have always been rather skeptical about Ranger training, yes it is very tough and demanding, but their claims that its stresses "exceed those of combat"-if nobody's trying to kill you, it's not combat. And a Ranger tab does not make you bullet proof. He ran to the sound of the guns, yes, but if he wasn't armed, and a lot of crime-robberies, especially daylight ones-like combat, are done by teams, then he took unnecessary risks.
