I am not giving you crap, but, I would be interested to know how will you turn Ranger rgrpucks one-line statement into an entire research paper?waterwings wrote:Ranger Rgrpuck, thats all I need, all I would need to say in my paper/presentation is that you dont know what it is like until you lived it.These stories have been told and told again.

Re: Interview.
What's there to know or understand that's not already public record? It's not as though it's a secret. It's more like greek rocket algebra; people don't have the capacity to understand until they've walked in a Ranger's shoes.waterwings wrote:Im doing a research paper on how the Army Rangers promote the American dream and basiclly what people dont know or dont understand about Airborne Rangers and why they are a necessity.
I don't even know! I'm am what is considered Ranger qualified. I live by the Creed, though.
That which people do not understand is feared and every attempt is made to throttle and control it.

Depending on where you are in Il. and when, I do make cameo appearances and public speaking engagements. Your liberal Teacher would NEVER forget me.

Waterwings, you have a rare opportunity here. If you want to inspire your classmates with the things that Rangers have inspired you with, ask the Pastor to come and speak to them. Your teacher will be challenged to think for a change, but the kids in that classroom will be given the fresh wind of truth that may really open their minds and change how they view the world.Abell9 wrote:Depending on where you are in Il. and when, I do make cameo appearances and public speaking engagements.

You've gotta be careful what you ask for.waterwings wrote:I agree with the above statements, so I retract my question in the original post, I'll just do the usual hit the books and get the evidence from a secondary source. I think I still have a good graspe on what I need to write.
Sorry for the trouble Rangers.
Thanks.
WaterWings.
Consider this...the Pastor is one thing, but would you really want to take the chance of someone like me showing up to stomp around in your little puddle of academia?
