Veterans Affairs committee  That came up for sure. Another point that was raised when we were talking to the rangers was their reticence to report injuries. They downplay the extent of the injury. For example, frostbite might be something that we consider to be quite severe, but it might not be considered

Veterans Affairs committee  I would echo that exact sentiment. They were incredibly proud of the work they do for the armed forces, and they are proud to wear the ranger hoodie. Like Mr. Walbourne said, most of them are rangers for life, and it's really an emblem of pride for them.

Veterans Affairs committee  Yes. There was definitely the sense of.... They talked a lot about the south, about policies in the south that don't apply to them. They refer to it a lot as “us versus the south”. That was definitely something that came through.
