“In the most extreme sense a “REMF” is a fobbit - loud, useless, safe and “in command!”
Fobbits have always existed to one degree or another. Mostly, they wanted recognition in their record without having to earn it. When I was in, they were called Beggars. But Fobbits or Beggars are exceptions, and support troops should not be slandered as being one and the same with them.
An army moves on its stomach ... and its logistics.
I wasn’t slamming support troops, promise.
