I have drank worse water in training, deployment and will still do, the army is not for the weak.

Back to this video, there are supplies provided, of course troops in far remote locations might get delays in supplies depending on several factors.

It is expected to be resilant and make good use of your environment.

So you shove your sensational headline and video down your behind

There are more important things you people can hold the government accountable for regarding the military.
You said my mind.
In a war situation soldiers have to go into survival mode and are not expected to always have access to clean water or even food supply.
But you never example of the important things government should be doing for military.

How can a human being classify drinking poo water as sane? You need to get your head checked really!

There is no USArmy personnel who would drink that shitty water and still be alive! They are not animals like you, you know!

first get it cleared of your mind those men are no normal human you, that makes them different from you. no normal human would choose a survival in place of normal life.
they were wired for survival not hustler for daily living that you are do, in the line of their duty survival is the order, not luxury. even when the supplies are there at times it becomes burden and excess luggage than a relief kit, so pick ups along the line are better package than delicious kit.
this ones are trained for survival not some popcorn night and cinema. it you were told us army pass their nights in self dug shallow grave you will argue and claim they are packed with water bed across the line. the pics below thanks.

Yeah, you mean far more important things like the government being careless enough not to hold the military authorities responsible for all the nonsense going on in the army? Soldiers not getting all their monthly allowances paid, even RCA na wahala, every bagga in position taking out his own share and giving the crumbs to the people who really deserved the whole, siphoning funds meant for troops into personal coffers. Sorry to say but today, we have more politicians in uniform than we ever had. I mean look at the arms Nigerian soldiers still dey run with. Ak and FN of 19kokro wey go knock down after few rounds. Where's the $1bn budget biko? Sometimes I wonder if Buhari was ever a service man. Every soldier must have witnessed first hand "eye service" and as a general, he must have gotten lots of that. Today he acts like the military authorities are infact, the very symbol of uprightness and honesty. I'm still shaking my head for Nigerian army. Navy sef don follow suit. Lord save us

this is the nonsense nysc is creating an average individual graduate that went through nysc program coming out to pull some decent stunt and clean banking guy over military operations.
if nysc was what it was meant to be a good number of them won't come here to form Mr decent even when we know they survived drinking cassava in their villages before turning a graduate.
if nysc is to live to its true expectations a good number of Nigerians would opt out for exemption.

If u don't have info about issues pls remain silent it's not a curse....



Did u know how many soldiers have died as a results of drinking water ..... Did u know that there are thousands on sick bed as resulting of drinking waters ?, The most common one is one disease like scabis on their skin , nobody knows the kind of disease and it has been named after the various villages that have such Rivers where u cannot drink water from ... Pls go get info from any barracks near u....our soldiers are really suffering, most times dey go without food for months mostly when there is an attacked in your location... I remembered my elder brother calling my dad from a village while my dad was still in Maiduguri that he wants to kill himself , because the hunger and water starvation is no different from death... Not even helicopter to go drop water and can food for them in the bush at it was during the GEJ, but now , people are just doing whatever they like because the govt is scared of probing the people they appointed...may God help us all.

This is why your army will remain the way it is. Can a sick soldier function properly?
That dirty water you drink should not be what you drink on a daily basis bit when condition demands it you think drinking it daily makes you tough? Truth is every human being in that situation will drink that stuff tough or not.

this you've answered and unravel the mystery not every time only when the situation demands it. at time in a real war environment supplies might not get through to cross the line, then survival mode would fully come active.
no one here supporting the claim is saying it is the standard but when things comes to that point they do.

The picture some buhari supporters posted, clearly showed the availability of clean drinking water for American soldiers when at the frontline.....

No wonder they see nothing wrong with nigerian soldiers drinking filthy water.....

Thank you. If they really want to make a point why dont they explain that they havent been trained properly or that they havent seen their water supply since sososo date?

Why dont they film the poor quality equipment and wears that they have been given?

I dont see how a video of some dudes sipping muddy water like a bunch of village yokels is supposed to mean anything to anybody

I thought you’d show me a pic of the usarmy drinking gutter water our own Nigerian troops are subjected to! But alas! You failed again..

From the pic you displayed, you can see clean drinking water close to their trenches! Nice blankets by their side and also well kitted to the socks! This is how a soldier is suppose to be well taken care of! With all these amenities, they become very alert and extremely smart! grin grin

I just do not want to expose the Nigerian Army today! I have lots of proof about the dirty politics being meted to troops over there in the NE. They are really suffering! The pot bellied personnel in Abuja and other big offices in this country are feeding fat on these unfortunate ones in the NE. The NA is a scam, the ones sent to maiduguri are the ones who do not have a godfather or cannot buy his/her out to be redeployed!

this is where we found ourselves in this country no one is willing to see anything good coming out of this country. even if we do so would still make some noise out of it, mischief makers everywhere.
it is clear for us to see things are not to well but it isn't enough for us to create unnecessary tension out of every situation. most youth are not just lazy, a good number has turn reactor and responder order than being reasonable and creative.

I love those teeth, I understand where you are coming from and where you are heading, I do but my point was based on training and the survival instinct a military personnel is wired and framed with.
concerning the pics I'm not out for mischief so what would I profit from hiding the truth they had the supplies, still see ready for unexpected that was my point all this while.

Thank you for being sensible instead of getting unnecessarily emotional like these ones who are pouring their nonsense crocodile tears in here.

If our nice soldiers have any issue I expect them to show their perspective in an intelligent manner and not this kind of needless display that doesnt actually mean anything at the end smh

This is where some US soldiers sleep at night.

But don't I see bottles of clean water right next to them? There's a difference between sleeping in a foxhole to avoid being shot and drinking dirty water from a dirty stream. Abeg we should not even begin to compare ourselves with foreign armies.

The same soldiers will turn their weapons on unarmed protestors or attack people minding their own business because they wore camouflage pattern. If it were any other country I would agree but not Nigeria I highly doubt soldiers give a damn about the lives of 'bloody civilians'.

You people no little to nothing about this things, first off they're sleeping that way because they was no supply available as they had to change camp because of a target,most of them are on a recon mission, some Canadian soldiers once told me a story about them having to eat rats when they ran out of supplies in camp,the army is no joke padre,this people are trained to survive anything. Some of them camp inside mud for days just to see the ground from an advantage, so them drinking dirty water is no surprise at all cause even soldiers from advanced countries go through much worse.
I've had encounters with soldiers across continents that's why I know better,most of you lots don't even have access to the Nigerian army you just blindly follow headlines.

So they had no support and dug foxholes so they wouldn't be shot in a surprise attack like I said. Got it.

The thing is anybody with 2 brain cells to rub together knows the military isn't easy but drinking dirty water right from a stream is quite frankly stupid. There's a high chance they will get dysentery or any manner of infections making them another liability.

Again there's a massive difference between sleeping in a hole and introducing all sorts of diseases into your system. If they could get phones with data and record this what's stopping them from getting clean water?

Even in developed countries they give them adequate water supply (like in the picture you sent) or water purification tablets. It is only in Africa that we celebrate mediocrity.
