It's not true for $S =\{253381\}$ since the extension generated by the roots of $x^5+ x+3$ is ramified only at that prime (since its discriminant is $253381$) and the inertia group consists of an element of order $2$ in the Galois group and the trivial element, but not every element in the Galois group has order $1$ or $2$. | |
