Hi! We're the Chinese military. We're too backwards and stupid to carry water purification kits with us.

That’s Bean With Bacon soup. Now, I have no idea what that is dripping out of Murray’s bowl there on the right, but I think I’d eat dry noodles if any of it gets in the big wok.

Sure a lot of hesitation there. I guess they’re not that hungry.

Uhh. Boiling water is more effective than tablets.
As I discovered the time I picked up Giardia in SE Utah.
Backpacking in the desert I’ve drunk from less attractive water sources. Actually, if you’re careful, bacterial contamination and such is no big deal. The big danger in some desert areas is toxic water, arsenic and such.

ROWPU units anybody? Surely they have heard of these things. This isn’t really surprising though considering that the Russians had entire battalions our of the fight in Afghanistan because of dysentery from poor hygiene. Backwards countries are just that, backwards.

Boil it, strain it through a sock, and a few drops of bleach.
How hard can it be?

Thanks BlopAndStop.
The image of Chinese soldiers using dirty water to cook noodles... responding to an earthquake in China's Yunnan province, was met with derision by users of the Chinese social media site Weibo who saw the photo as a lack of concern for the well-being of the soldiers and as an indication of the preparedness of China's military... Instead of patriotism, the article drew waves of questions and criticism

They are an Army. Don’t they have water trailers? Or at least five gallon jugs?
