In future, wars will be fought by clones .......... -150 degrees centigrade also no problem .......... no sleep also can ......... powered by batteries that can last for years and rechargeable by sun oops I mean star light ........ so these chinks (who probably don't know what they should or should not be fighting for anyway) can go beat it ..........

mongoloids have evolved over tens of thousands of years to withstand the cold, with eye slits that are fatty, facial fat, chubby cheeks, flat nose, thick hair on the head, less hair on the torso and limbs, and baby fat all around - all these traits because survivors and sojourners hunt and herd elk for food, live in shelters made with elk skin, wear clothing made with elk hide and fur, make tools from elk bones and hair. since the torso and limbs are well covered with elk fur, there's no evolutionary need to retain body hair, and they start shedding it over the centuries. since only the eyes and lips are exposed to the extreme cold, they evolve to become what we see today among siberians, chinese, mongolians, koreans, japs.

Spot on.

During the Korean War, most of the sufferers of frostbite and cold injuries were black Americans, followed by whites. The Koreans (North & South) and Chinese were minimally affected, even when temperatures plummeted to -35ºC in the mountains in the severe winter of 1950-51.

American war vets speak of sentry guards found frozen in the standing position in the morning. Hundreds lost their toes and fingers; some had to have their legs amputated. Most of the facts we know about cold injuries and their management in the battle arena resulted from research in Korean War cold injuries.

The Americans would have to have their heads examined if they thought of engaging the PLA in northern China in the depths of winter.

Pla training can be very extreme. I remember watching a footage of soldiers wearing full nbc suit with gas mask going on a route match in Gobi desert. As the soldiers took off their soviet style suit, sweats pour out like buckets of water.

Even Shaolin monks on Mt Song (嵩山) have to undergo rigorous winter training in the cold & snow. Pics taken on 25 Nov 2015:

Winter training is de rigueur for many countries in the northern latitudes. The Korean Special Forces also go through a gruelling winter training course annually.



Intense Photos of South Korean Special Forces Training In The Snow



JEREMY BENDER MILITARY & DEFENSE JAN. 9, 2015, 4:17 AM

About 200 South Korean Special Forces are taking part in ten days of grueling winter weather combat training.

With a constant threat from North Korea, South Korea’s Army Special Warfare Command (SWC) is responsible for special operations in the country. SWC soldiers frequently work closely with US Green Berets and their modus operandi include guerrilla warfare, assassinations, and counter-terrorism.

Every year, members of the SWC must participate in winter warfare training in the mountains of Pyeongchang, east of Seoul. Conditions in Pyeongchang generally include temperatures as low as negative 22 degrees Fahrenheit and deep snow.

During the training exercises, SWC soldiers participate in distance runs shirtless.

Soldiers also participate in general exercises in the frozen temperatures.

The idea is to acclimate soldiers to any intense conditions they may find themselves in.

Seemingly bizarre, the training instills a sense of mental and physical toughness within the SWC ranks.

Aside from becoming acclimated to adverse physical conditions, all members of the SWC must achieve a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.

Likewise, members of the team must excel at marksmanship. Here, SWC soldiers train in tactical skiing with rifles.

The SWC is composed of seven special forces brigades with an eighth special mission battalion. Here, SWC forces take position in a frozen river.

All SWC members must volunteer for entry into the group before being handpicked for entrance.
