Ranger Danger!
(I am on a first date with a guy. As the US invasions in Iraq and Afghanistan have only recently occurred, our talk turns to patriotism and military service. To preface this, a person I knew well had been an Army Ranger.)
Date: “I served! I was an Army Ranger!”
Me: *instantly suspicious* “Oh? Are you tabbed or scrolled?”
Date: *confused* “What? I said I was a Ranger.”
Me: “ANY person who served as, or attempted to become a Ranger knows those terms. So, no, you weren’t. Take me home.”
(He continued protesting, becoming very angry when I refused to believe him. There definitely was not a second date. I loathe military impersonators/glory thieves. But I will give him points for not going the clichéd route and claiming SEAL or Green Beret…)
