DeSantis was a JAG lawyer. Does that make him a REMF?
IMO, no. I consider REMFs as those who get command positions and screw them up, badly. These are men and women who may be good staff officers, but should never be allowed within 100 yards of soldiers.
I had the opportunity to have a couple of COs who fit that definition. My stories of their miscues are interesting only to me, so I won't bore you.
