What's with the rangers ? (self.fallout)

When I played Fallout 3, there was a mission to help the rangers, with a special armor as reward. After finally playing New Vegas this year, I discovered the rangers are the elite troops of the NCR. Loosely related, in Wasteland 2 you also play a ranger.

Why are the rangers so present in post apocalyptic worlds now? Is this a cultural thing?

If I remember correctly, Fallout 1 and 2 didn't have any rangers.

On a side note, I think someone at Bethesda has a kink for rangers because they are also in Starfield ๐Ÿ˜

Wait the only rangers I can recall in fo3 where Railey's rangers. A mercenary company not affiliated to any of the west cost story as I recall. Verses the NCR rangers from fo2 & NV , as you said in 2 it was a random encounter whereas the new vegas rangers could be found as soon as Mojave outpost. And even more in the Easter boarder and Camp Golf.
