Weeds Out Weaklings in Japanese War Drill
A Japanese military expert reports that troops undergo extreme summer drills to harden them for an anticipated war with Russia. An infantry brigade scaled Mount Fuji in December, losing over 30 men, with officials saying harsh conditions train soldiers for cold and heat while critics warn of excessive sacrifice.
