COMBAT!

The TV show, from 1962 to 67.


They didn't show it on reruns when I was a kid.  For one, it was in black and white.  B&W repeats were doable, but the show had to be more bloved and with a wider appeal.  For another, it war programs weren't in fashion so much.  Maybe Baa Baa Blacksheep.  But that was about pilots.  Or M*A*S*H.  One summer they reran Rat Patrol during the day.

Note, they clear mines in this ep with a bayonet.  Most all the men over 18 to 20 or so would have been drafted or served so a large part of the adult view audience would find this familiar.  Fewer folks today would grok that technique, methinks.

So, they are all waiting for the guy to meticulously check for mines, and the squad is all bunched up in a gaggle together, standing, in the open, and inside the blast radius of even smallish mines.  So not ALL the lessons from Army training took.  Of course you make allowances for Hollywood.  It's hard to say your lines in conversation with your fellow actors and be there for easy close ups if you are taking cover, spread out, doing 360 degree security.
