Humans eat plants and animals. It’s the order of nature. Liberalism is the denial of human nature.

I’ll stop eating animals when animals stop eating animals.

During jungle training you pretty much eat anything you can catch. Like a wood bat that was in a log or some bug that you saw. After awhile it is the best food you have had.

If a non-Christian wants to drink snake blood more power to them. Scripture, however, prohibits Christians from drinking blood.

During my JEST training at Cubi Point we ate a fruit bat, spiders, snails and
snakes...freaking nasty but when you are hungry, you'll eat pretty much
anything.

I’d try to trap something a little more appetizing. Stuff like snake blood and other nasty stuff can make you sick. I understand you need nourishment but to survive and fight you might have a better chance to kill your enemy and take THEIR food.

Since the Garden of Eden, snakes gave up any right they have to protection.

I can’t think of any group less likely to direct Marine Corps polucy than PETA. Except maybe the Socialist Brotherhood of Hairdressers and Interior Decorators.

I wonder if any military folks have ever come down with a disease from drinking blood or eating unclean or improperly cooked meats. Remember the Australian kid who ate a slug on a dare and came down with a disease that paralyzed and then killed him?

My days of (peacefully)’patrolling’ the mean streets of Olongapo one could only imagine what was in the meat??? on a stick sold on streetcorners.

Most snakes are actually pretty damned good eating, despite the smell of some of ‘em, but I could never get past the smell of a bull snake.

My scout troop went camping in a jungle training area at Subic Bay. The Negrito trainers didn’t teach how to eat snakes. They taught how to eat fruit bats
