Risking life

In front of his pupils, a teacher told us to meet a former soldier veterans of World War II aviators. On one day, these soldiers to fly hundreds of Chinese forced labor workers to work on forest highway project in Myanmar.
 

Flight mileage is quite far and long. To eliminate the boredom and make use of free time, those workers with the card gaming. At first they bet with money and property inherent in the body. Well, the longer because there is no longer at stake, they gamble with his life. The loser has to jump out of planes without a parachute. Imagine!
"What a horrible and cruel they are!" shouted one student heard the story. "True, true," replied the teacher, "But by then the game becomes even more fun!"
Then he went on, "just be thankful you live, if it ever gambled."
