Soldiers must not cheat their way through training

Some media reports say that a number of soldiers and division chiefs in the 40th Army based in northeastern China cheated their way through regular field exercises. Such lack of discipline among military personnel is alarming, because it could eventually compromise the safety of the nation, says a Xinhua News Agency article. Excerpts:

The investigation into allegations of cheating by some personnel revealed that some soldiers reduced the weight of the load they were supposed to carry during field training and three division chiefs asked four soldiers to hide en route to their destination so that they would not have to run the entire course. A total of 319 people were found to have cheated their way through the training session.
