The average GI never had the opportunity, time or desire to see or read most any of this stuff.
Kind of feelgood eyewash put together by well meaning individuals bent on justifying their assignments.
Most every training area at every level had some sort of display or interactive setup of known booby traps or destructive devices. Drills were often held handling and examining the stuff and methods of deploying them.
Lots more effective for the average "Consumer" than dull reading, diagrams, and suppositions.
Truth told, the average grunt would have had limited cognitive abilities in that area.
In actual training, hands on is hard to beat and leaves the best impression.
