Hunter 'quit' Ha!
That'll be the day when an Airborne Ranger just 'quits'. These limp wristed Nancy Boys in the MSM should do a little more research on a thing called 'Basic Principles'. And for Duncan Hunter where he 'came from'.


Ranger Creed
Recognizing that I volunteered as a Ranger, fully knowing the hazards of my chosen profession, I will always endeavor to uphold the prestige, honor and high esprit de corps of my Ranger Regiment.

Acknowledging the fact that a Ranger is a more elite soldier who arrives at the cutting edge of battle by land, sea or air, I accept the fact that as a Ranger my country expects me to move further, faster and fight harder than any other soldier.

Never shall I fail my comrades. I will always keep myself mentally alert, physically strong and morally straight; I will shoulder more than my share of the task whatever it may be, one hundred percent and then some.

Gallantly will I show the world that I am a specially selected and well-trained soldier. My courtesy to superior officers, neatness of dress and care of equipment shall set the example for others to follow.

Energetically will I meet the enemies of my country. I shall defeat them on the field of battle for I am better trained and will fight with all my might. Surrender is not a Ranger word. I will never leave a fallen comrade to fall into the hands of the enemy, and under no circumstances will I ever embarrass my country.

Readily will I display the intestinal fortitude required to fight on to the Ranger objective and complete the mission, though I be the lone survivor.

There's a certain GOP candidate from NY who isn't fit to shine Hunter's shoes, let alone be on the same stage as Duncan. And while Hunter was actually ON the field of battle fighting real TERRORISTS face to face, that other candidate was dodging the draft and 'dating' his cousin. Yet that person has the temerity to think he can be or is fit to be CIC.
