I disdain your euphemism of REMF. Any idea how many REMF died supporting the “real” combat heros?

A REMF, as you put it, puts his azz on the line, too, and many are killed by doing so.

You denigrate these good men and women who worked to allow our actual combat forces to perform their work.

“I disdain your euphemism of REMF. Any idea how many REMF died supporting the “real” combat heros?”

Two points:

1.

Yes, that was the point of my entire post: in asymetric warfare, those previously dismissed as “REMFs” are almost as likely to be killed as forward comabt troops.

Indeed, that was the point of two posts, back-to-back.

I’ve heard of Freepers that don’t read the article, but to pop-off without actually reading the post one is popping off about is a new level of stupidity.

2.

Being offended is for liberals. At least you weren’t “deeply saddened.”
