Summary

The video features two hosts, Toby and JJ, reacting to the world's most insane military training exercises. They showcase seven brutal drills from different countries, including Taiwan's "Road to Heaven," China's "Hot Potato with a Live Grenade," the US Navy SEALs' "Hell Week," the US Marines' "Jungle Survival Training" where they drink cobra blood, South Korea's "Winter Training Session" where soldiers shower each other in snow and plunge into icy water, Belarus' "Special Unit Training" which includes a 10k quick march and hand-to-hand fighting, and Russia's "Spetsnaz Training" which includes an endurance test where instructors beat the trainees with fists and bats.

Throughout the video, Toby and JJ express their shock and amazement at the intensity and brutality of the training exercises. They also joke about trying some of the drills themselves and make bets on who would be able to complete them. At the end of the video, they reveal that if they get 17 million likes, they will attempt to complete some of the drills, but they are confident that they will not reach that number.
