Less than 4% of boomers served in Vietnam.

This kind of seems like a meaningless statistic without some more context (such as what % of US citizens were boomers, and what % of US citizens served in Vietnam). On its own, it doesn't really say anything.

I think a more useful statistic would be the percent of people who served in Vietnam that were boomers.
