This tweet will surely settle the matter.
A friend who went to Ranger school but didn’t serve in the Regiment tells me, the civilian, that people in the service have long argued about “who’s a *real* Ranger”, and there’s not really a definitive answer, but that some people are a-holes about it.

A-holes who police it too narrowly or exploit it too loosely? Or both?

Nick - It might make more sense if your friend actually SERVED in a regiment and gave you that answer. It sounds self-serving for him to say there's not definitive answer on who's a ranger if, like Cotton, he only went to Ranger School.

Seriously. The wording of Nick's tweet was unclear, and his "source" seems vague. Not the best tweet for a journalist.
