The Rangers specialize in joint special operations raids and joint forcible entry operations. Being a Ranger is an honor shared by a distinct few. Kris Paronto is a former Army Ranger, and it was his training and dedication to serving that caused him to run into battle in the attack on the Benghazi compound when he and his fellow officers were told to stand down.
