I agree with you Werner - in fact, I believe the % of those who actually seecombat is around 20% (or it was during WW2) with the remaining 80% preforming support duties to keep them fighting.
In Viet Nam these were referred to as REMF's. In our current conflict/police action I believe quite a few of these support positions are contracted out to private contractors.
