my take is of 1.3 mil active duty personnel, 298k are back-office personnel. & of the 1 mil such personnel, 298k are active duty

it's a double look at the active duty back-office personnel. 1st as % of total active duty & then as % of all back-office. Maybe

Maybe. When DOD actually ever passes an audit I'll check.

The 1,002,000 active duty not including back office is almost as much as the 1,014,000 in back office including active military.

Hmm. That sounds like the number they may be trying to highlight but ... that graphic doesn't.
-
Crappy graph but I think point is that for every active duty body in the field there's a body behind a desk supporting them.

depends on your definition of "troop". These numbers show combat arms. Combat support is not a desk job.

it's a stupid graphic. Raises more questions about the authors than combatant/support ratio - which I guess is the concern?
