Military training is an intense business, involving discipline, precision, and reserves of courage that can be called upon in the midst of battle. But for soldiers undergoing training in the People's Liberation Army of China that's taken to a whole different level -- as one of their exercises involves a life-and-death game of 'hot potato' with a live grenade. Incredible video footage shows Chinese troops stationed in Hong Kong passing around the live explosive from one soldier to the next until the last one finally throws it in the hole.

Each soldier deliberately takes the explosives in both hands and twists slightly at the torso before handing it off to the next soldier.

Воинам Внутренних Войск посвящается Достал срач в коментах, угрозы и националистические призывы. Война есть война. Для тех, кто на видео - эта война кончилась.

Не надо спекулировать этим, на войне всегда кто-то погибает, причём с обеих сторон. Кто прав, кто виноват - разберёт история. А сейчас лучше помолчать, послушать песню, и посмотреть ролик. Vita brevis - memento mori. Теги:lubesoldatchechnjavvafghan music
