Talk:1st Ranger Battalion

Introduction

The reference to war on terrorism as in Iraq and Afghanistan as part of the wider global war on terrorism really ought to be linked to the Wikipedia page on War on Terror because the use of the expression is considered by many tendentious and political and further that Iraq was not genuinely targeted for that reason. At the very least "Global War on Terror" should be in quotes, the more so since its use seems to be fading out. A link avoids having to engage this contentious subject here.

Activated at Carrickfergus?

The wiki page on the [75th_Ranger_Regiment] states: "The 1st Ranger Battalion was organized and activated on June 19, 1942, at Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland."

Modern Rangers

Why is there barely any mention of the 1st Ranger Battalion and their missions in Grenada, Panama and the Ops they are on now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 178.178.7.88 (talk) 10:23, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

This page has no reference to that, only to Scotland - does anyone have some firm information on the origins of the 1st Ranger Battalion?Starviking (talk) 12:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

disambig not required

THe disambiguation (United States) seem unnecessary, but looking at the history I see the article was moved here in 2006 to meet "new standards". This seems to go against conventional Wikipedia disambig procedures. Jooler (talk) 21:39, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

worthless

this entire section is so poor it should be removed permanently.
