Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are currently military training exercises held in desert areas, and the soldier is left in the desert without food or drink so that he can get used to hardship, and sometimes he is forced to eat some insects and animals like snakes, so is this action permissible?

No, it is not permissible to make permissible what Allah has forbidden; this is forbidden, it is not permissible. This action is not permissible, yes.
