That's what I was thinking, thanks.
Now to be a bit more anal on my part, a red beret would signify what?

It is a beret - doesn't that stand for Delta Force or some special unit of the Army?
Red berets are worn by the French Army's famed Parachutistes Coloniaux ("Colonial Paratroopers"), later renamed Troupes de Marine ("Marine Paratroopers") after independence. Their branch cap badge combines the silver-metal Airborne Troops' winged fist grasping a sword over a gold-metal Marine Troops fouled anchor. |

copied this from wiki:
United States Army In 1943 General Frederick Browning, commander of the British First Airborne Corps, granted a battalion of the US Army's 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment honorary membership in the British Parachute Regiment and authorized them to wear British-style maroon berets. US Army advisers to Vietnamese airborne forces wore the Vietnamese French-style red beret during the Vietnam War.[1] Headquarters, Department of the Army (HQDA) policy from 1973 through 1979 permitted local commanders to encourage morale-enhancing distinctions. Airborne forces chose to wear the maroon international parachute beret as a mark of distinction. This permission was rescinded in 1979 when the army introduced a policy of standardized headgear and designated wear of the black beret for Ranger and Airborne units. On 28 November 1980 permission was given for airborne organizations to resume wearing the maroon beret. |

Yeah I just checked google images and found that the 82nd airborne wears red berets. I'm assuming (only) that these are also referred to as "airborne rangers"? Hence, BH being a ranger, that would put him in that category?
Or am I way off here?
