Say what? My son went through basic infantry school at Fort Benning and was neither special forces nor airborne. Nevertheless, he was in the sixth vehicle of close to three thousand to cross the berm from Kuwait into Iraq the night the order was given to move down range. It was his Brigade Combat Team that took the VIP terminal at Baghdad Airport where the supposedly invincible Imperial Guard had pledged to make their last stand.
They don’t call the infantry The Queen of Battle for nothing. And don’t worry, I won’t tell him you said that he and the guys from his company who were killed are nothing but REMFs...
I am talking about THIS article - the direction the Army is heading. They have decided to train REMFs in basic and special forces become the trigger pulling war fighters. It is pretty obvious. I am not talking about the past. Get it? Jeeez.
