Like an episode of “Fear Factor,” Marines drank cobra blood and ate scorpions during a jungle survival program as part of the annual combined military exercise Cobra Gold 2010 at a Navy base in Chonburi province, Thailand, on Feb. 9. About 14,000 military personnel from six nations — South Korea, Indonesia, Thailand, the United States, Singapore and Japan — are involved in the largest U.S.-led war games in the Pacific, which end Feb. 11.
