REMF refers to people who are gung-ho but never get to the Front themselves. The people who shout about how important it is to fight, but never seem to show up themselves. Not the support guys in general.
Never claimed to be Audie Murphy. Just someone who showed up. Nice try.

That’s not how I remember it. And it’s not how a hell of a lot of combat troops remember it.
“Never claimed to be Audie Murphy. Just someone who showed up. Nice try.”
Yeah, well guess what? All those REMFs “just showed up,” too. And the very first thing they were told after they raised their hands and swore the oath, was “The needs of the (whichever branch of the service you found yourself in) are paramount; it is up to the (whichever branch of the service you found yourself in) to decide what you will be, what you will do, and where you will go.”
