Some soldiers from the U.S Army were captured on camera while queuing to feast on python meat.
The U.S soldiers who were being trained by their Ghanaian counterparts, lined up to eat python prepared during a survival course.
The training took place on May 19, 2017, at the Jungle Warfare School at Achiase military base in Akim Oda, Eastern Region.

It marked the first time an African partner nation trained U.S. Army Africa soldiers.
One of 63 soldiers, Spc. Bryan Young, with the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division who took the course, said in a videotaped interview described the python meat as “extremely spicy.
Brig. Gen. Kenneth Moore, USARAF deputy commander, said that having U.S. soldiers taught by African instructors was “kind of a ground-breaking event” that like much of what USARAF does, was intended to build partnerships and relationships with African militaries.
