He does lead in a sense but he's not necessarily the leader of the unit who may walk the slack position or even further back when on patrol. But since he's a GI Joe and I'd like to believe that they have high standards, I think it's possible that he may be a Ranger. I don't think there's enough circumstantial evidence either way but I wouldn't rebut it. ;)
Yeah, I certainly wouldn't assert that it's conclusive - simply that it's possible. I certainly agree that being a "Point man" doesn't mean he's a Ranger, but if you were an Infantry Platoon Leader, and you had an excellent soldier who showed natural leadership abilities, wouldn't you want to send him to Ranger School? Slots like that are often used as rewards for good soldiers, or incentives to re-up, and a guy like that is only going to benefit the whole unit with his additional training. And if you have a choice, wouldn't you want a Ranger on Point versus a NAR?
