15 Heart-Wrenching Photos Of The Worst Military Training Regimes In The World… Does Kenya Even Come Closer?

Ever wondered what our soldiers go through in the name of training before they are bestowed with the authority to protect us and whatever we lawfully own? Well, it is just imaginable until when you see what is happening across the world as countries prepare their soldiers in a bid to protect their borders and interests.

While photos of Kenya’s military sessions are hard to come by, those of some of the military training regimes in the world are in our possession. And believe it they are bound to send shivers and chills down your spine.

They are gut-wrenching and scary. But you should know what it takes to become a specialist in matters security. And I want to believe our soldiers go through some of these things. If they don’t, then they must be close to this.

Here are heart-wrenching photos of some of the worst military training regimes in the world. Some, as I said, will definitely leave you shivering and scared. From drinking cobra blood to crawling naked on rough sharp stones, you can’t afford but to pity the soldiers:
