Captain Ernst, OTOH, was commander of a truck company. I've dealt with people like her. They're administrators
The Trans Companies this moron is referring to had to run a deadly gauntlet every freaking day to get supplies to the Forward Operatin Bases (FOB's) in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Route Irish was particularly bloody at times. SO was the Log run from Taji to Baghdad or trying to get supplies from Kandahar to the FOB's in RC South.
IED's land mines and ambushes. Convoy's are prime targets in the type of war we're fighting now. There's no definitive front you drive out the gate and you're in the middle of the shit.
They may get called REMF's by a few dumbass 11 Bush and 19 series tread heads but the fact of the matter is....those guys wouldn't fire a single shell bullet or mortar without "REMF's" in a Trans unit getting them the stuff to fight with.
Once again a DUMmie proves they know dick about the military.
