About Ranger Up
Ranger Up is the premium military brand in the world with accounts on every continent but Antarctica (but we’re working on it). In 2007, we launched a Patriotic Brand named Unapologetically American. In 2008, we launched what is now the largest military blog: The Rhino Den. In 2011, we launched the first American Rugby Brand: American Sin Bin. In 2012, we launched a largely inappropriate military cartoon known called The Damn Few as well as a new Vetrepreneurial initiative to give back to our community and build a new generation of military entrepreneurs. We are founded, owned, and operated by military veterans. We do not operate a politically correct work environment. We are huge fans of the Constitution, MMA, Rugby, and bacon.

    Drop Bears are about the size of a big duck, I would try to fight one of them!

    • defensor fortissimo says:

      I’d rather take on the bear sized duck. Is it ginormous? absolutely. It’s also still a duck, and therefore a lot less likely to put up a decent fight than a horde of angry bears. Plus I’ve seen Coasty on the Damn Few and for some reason I’m not that intimidated.

  3. ME says:

    Bear sized duck, because I don’t eat bear meat.

    Seems to be a bit much for a t-shirt company warehouse guy job.
