This is why the standard for Army training manuals had to be reduced in reading grade level to that equal to a comic book. The Army no longer produces technical manuals, they create illustrated comic books.

PROPOSAL: HANDBOOK FOR THE M-16A2 RIFLE The following is a proposal to develop a handbook that will cover the operation and maintenance of the M-16A2 rifle. This proposal contains information on the contents of the proposed manual, the audience level we are assuming, our schedule to complete this project, our costs and charges, and our qualifications to produce a high-quality finished handbook. Audience and Purpose The handbook will be written primarily to purchasers but may also be used by gunsmiths, gun enthusiasts, the military, gun clubs, and anyone else wishing to train people in operation and maintenance of this rifle. No technical knowledge about firearms on the readers' part will be assumed. It will assume that readers have never used any firearm previously. Also, we will develop the handbook at the standard 8th-grade reading level.
