hat's how I felt about it.
Got slapped down for it too.
If I'd wanted to wear a Ranger Beret, I'd have joined the Rangers.
I wanted to be an artilleryman, plain and simple.
I felt it was an insult to every Ranger ever trained for me to personally wear the black beret.
Shinseki will forever have a nice dark spot in this former soldier's heart for the insult he delt the Rangers.

One of the worst decisions made making the beret standard head gear. It should be something you earn. Besides the beret just isn't American.
