The Chinese have a novel way of ensuring that their soldiers are picture perfect all the time:
Ouch.

(1) Comments should address the substantive content of the post. Comments that repeatedly

the commenter's own arguments. Link spam, trackback spam, and propaganda spam will be instantly deleted.
(5) Public figures are considered open to all substantive criticism of their policies and statements.
Comments that present objectively false factual information about public figures (i.e. "Obama is a Muslim") or
that attack public figures by attacking their families are not welcome. Comments that merely repeat
slogans for or against a candidate without engaging in substantive comment are not welcome.
Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors
by email only.

Actually, given their position they wouldn’t piece the larynx; more likely the carotid artery (much more lethal)
Hah, great minds think alike, Chris- I was going to post almost identical comment earlier before I got sidetracked in a different discussion. The pins actually might be too short to get to the carotid at that angle but maybe the jugulars? It’s a bit off my area of expertise (domestic animals) but that looks like about the location where I’d attempt to hit the jugular if I had to extrapolate from the species that I’m used to dealing with.
Even worse than the objection is the fact that I looked up a diagram of the neck before posting the photo. I clearly didn’t look it up well enough.
I guess smacking these guys on the back of the head for being stupid is probably NOT a good idea!
CNN-style writers are seen everywhere and they always forget their professional creed and mock greatness not sharing their own view of value. Even if I told you people that these soldiers are willingly being trained like in such way, you just wouldn’t believe it and call me a liar. As a Chinese myself, I believe these people are mostly loved by the common as a sample of self-disciplined and fulfiller of civil duty.
This is radically insane. And who are you calling "CNN-style writers" Kuan? You mean Western I presume?
