Sorry, I wasn't trying to snipe at you with my post if it came across that way. I do see what you're saying, and you certainly do have a good point. I see guys where I work (18 series, no less) sporting CIBs that never left the wire, but because they were within a km of a couple hip shot mortar rounds, they got it.
While the non-11s are doing a great job for you currently, after their tour in Iraq they will most likely revert to their old MOS and duty description. The infantry guys have chosen an MOS that will include the expectation of closing with and destroying the enemy for the duration of their careers, not just for a year or so.
I dunno; perhaps when they get ready to leave they should just be put in for an award reflecting that they were working outside their MOS, and call that even.
