Various sources say the ratio of trigger pullers to support troops in Vietnam was about 1 - 7.

I've heard of the 1 to 7 ratio before, but since there were no front lines in Vietnam I wonder how many of the 7 support troops were trigger pullers. [We had a cook in our unit that received a silver star.]

I suspect it refers to combat MOS. This include all the 11 ones plus others...it doesn't mean that support troops weren't in combat. Of course they were.

I'm not a Vietnam Vet, but I know five off-hand and they are all very responsible people with good paying jobs.. Two are pipe welders who work on oil drilling platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, one is a crane operator who works out of the heavy equipment union local in New Orleans, one is a Catipillar mechanic, one owns four auto dealerships. One in Harvey, La, two in Covington, La, one in LaPlace, La.
