Cobra Snake Blood Is On The Menu For US Troops Training In The Thai Jungle
It's all part of an annual exercise called "Cobra Gold," with over 13,000 military personnel in attendance. Troops train in infantry tactics, share medical advice, and figure out the best way to stay alive in the middle of the jungle.
