Ranger Mentality | No Man Left Behind

part of the Ranger creed is I will never
leave a fallen comrade to follow it to
the end of an enemy that’s just one part
of the Ranger creed the Ranger creed has
six stanzas to it and we would say it
every morning every morning before we
started work whether it was back at Fort
Benning Georgia or whenever there was a
formation and that first SART has
something to do we would always start it
with the Ranger creed and the very first
stand this is recognizing I volunteered
as a ranger fully knowing the hazards of
my chosen profession there’s a
disclaimer right up front you know it’s
gonna be tough so don’t don’t be whining
about it you know because you
volunteered for this and the point of
saying something every day is is that if
we say something every day we we start
believing it you know you start
believing remember I told you when we
first got there you were told you were
elite you were told that lives are on
the line you were told that you were
mattered and you were told and so you
start believing it and when you believe
something that’s when you’ll start
living it the fact that I will never
leave a fallen comrade and to fall in
the hands of the enemy you believe it so
you live it and it’s not it’s not really
a choice that you have to ponder even
though technically the Aviators and the
occupants of super six one weren’t
Rangers they were Special Operations
guys that that creed or that saying I
think transcends units there was an
understanding I would think within the
Special Operations community that that’s
just how we operate so it was never a
question of would we go to the
crash I the security it was Len
