Jason Crow Dishonors the Army and Himself
2 min readU.S. Representative Jason Crow (D), who represents Colorado’s 6th congressional district, took to Twitter Saturday to denigrate the service of Senator Tom Cotton, a fellow soldier and veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan, dishonoring himself and the United States Army.
Counting on the public’s misperceptions on what constitutes an Army Ranger, Crow tweeted out an old selfie of himself in a crooked beret (even crooked by special forces standards) and claimed that Tom Cotton could not refer to himself as an “Army Ranger” because Cotton had not served with a ranger regiment despite earning his Ranger tab by graduating from Ranger school like every other soldier bearing the title of Ranger.
Ranger school graduates are told upon graduation that they “carry the title of Ranger” whether they serve in the 75th Ranger Regiment or not. Tom Cotton does not emphasize his Ranger status in his long and storied service record, which includes tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and earning the Combat Infantryman’s Badge, Parachutist Badge, Air Assault Badge, and Ranger Tab. There is no evidence Tom Cotton has ever dishonored the Army by questioning another soldier’s service.
This kind of pissing contest jackassery might be expected from young soldiers hanging out at the bar trading exaggerated war stories, but it is entirely unbecoming of a congressman. It is so unbecoming that Crow was scolded by former general and commander of SOCOM (who happens to also be a Ranger) Ramond (Tony) Thomas, who more or less called Crow dumb:
This kind of behavior falls in perfectly with the politicization of the military the Democrats are so famous for. Smugly pimping your military service for political gain is a slap in the face of every other soldier that served selflessly without regard for personal gain. Jason Crow dishonors the Army, and is nothing but a cheap political opportunist.

I would expect nothing less from a collaborating traitor like Jason “Bo Bergdahl” Crow. He would not make a pimple on the rear end of a real Ranger. He actively participated in a fake impeachment trial based on lies, he has no honor, or integrity, he is just a political hack.
Yep. Unfortunately, the military is a vehicle for narcissistic politicians. They join for the credential and to inoculate themselves from criticism of their anti-American, leftist policies.
