REMFs.
Had to look that one up.
Excellent and spot on.
All I can say is, I saw way too many officers who never should have been allowed near the troops. They made decent staff officers, for the most part. OTOH, I saw my share of staff pukes who just plain liked to screw with anyone from a subordinate command. They simply thought they ran the show, these "perfumed princes" and "Courtney Massengales."
Maybe that's why I had such a great time as an S-4 (Supply Officer). Nobody really wanted that job, so there was a great deal of autonomy. Having been in the battalion for 3 years, I pretty much knew everybody, and had a multitude of experiences under my belt. Finally, the job came easy to me, as my degree was in public accounting.
Most importantly, I had great people working with me, especially my warrant and NCOs. We had a great team, and we didn't let the REMFs screw with us. Anytime there was a dispute, the "old man" backed us 100%.
Obama & Biden are classic "staff puke REMFs". In my mind, there's no worse perjorative than that.
