(KGTV) - Are Chinese soldiers really placing a needle or pin in their uniform collar with the point facing the neck?
Yes.
This came to light from a recent picture posted on Twitter by "Discover and Know," which explained it's done to help soldiers keep their posture.
However, not all soldiers are forced to do this.
A 2009 New York Times article said this is a corrective measure only imposed on soldiers who have trouble maintaining the proper posture.
