Which unit is better for an aspiring Army Ranger the 101st airborne or 82nd airborne and why?
Backupplan
Honestly? There'd be little difference. If you wanted to go into Ranger Regiment, and felt you were up to the task, you'd enlist under a RIP contract, and go straight into a Ranger Battalion after your entry level training (provided you passed RIP). Otherwise, if you went to any of the divisions, you'd have to first attend Ranger School and get qualified before you could transfer into a Ranger unit, and even then, only if they accepted you.

Were the 101st and 82nd airborne units in World War 2 also Rangers?
The airborne units and the ranger units were separate and distinct during WW II and are still that way today. However, many of those who went to ranger training and became part of the units came from the ranks of the 82nd and 101st. In today's army it is required that all candidates for ranger school first become airborne qualified. *Added* Many of the initial cadre of the initial Rangers, 1st Ranger Battalion under Brig. Gen. (Then Lt Col) William Orlando Darby, came from the Red Bull Division, 34th ID.
