Gone are the days when a few press-ups and tackling an assault course proved your worth as a soldier.
These U.S. Marines now drink cobra blood and rip the heads off chickens with their bare teeth as part of their training.
They were among around 13,000 soldiers from seven countries participating in a combined jungle survival exercise at a military base in Thailand.
After being taught how to kill venomous cobras by Thai naval instructors, the Marines were encouraged to experience the local customs of drinking the animal's blood.
Many of the soldiers quite happily obliged, tipping their heads back while the blood was squeezed out of the snake's body and into their mouths.
Snake blood is sold as an aphrodisiac in parts of Eastern Asia.

Around 13,000 soldiers from seven countries, Thailand, U.S., Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia are participating in the 11-day exercise. Other rituals included killing a chicken by biting off its neck and eating the tail of the cobras.
The 11-day exercise, called Cobra Gold 2014, involved soldiers from Thailand, the U.S., Singapore, Indonesia, Japan, South Korea and Malaysia.
It takes place in Thailand's Chon Buri province and also covers amphibious assault, humanitarian relief and evacuation of friendly forces as well as the jungle survival techniques.

You don't see US marines bullying, oppressing, and humiliating innocent civilians in the streets. That's why they are loved and supported by the generality of American citizens.

Our soldiers in this Nigeria are mostly unprofessional brutes whose specialty is to oppress bloody civilians with koboko and frog jump punishments. How then do you expect civilians to support them?

The Nigerian military is rotten inside out, the occurrence of 6 coups in just 40 years is evidence of the indiscipline in the force.
The military needs restructuring and support from Nigerians.
