Title: No wonder they hate us in Iraq
Post by: TehBorken on Jan 28 07 04:26
Here's one reason they hate us in Iraq: because we drive like a**holes, that's why.
Apparently, this is how American soldiers drive in Iraq... Click the picture or go to the [a href="vny!://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yco1deXOzN8"]Link.[/a]

 The soldiers driving style may seem a bit aggressive, but I do feel that maybe they are fearful of being ambushed.
Did you catch what they said at the end of the clip?... when a guy walked across the road in front of them.
'there he goes picking his nose without a care in the world', lol.

obviously, they cant stop because they will get shot. i noticed that alot of the cars pulled over when they saw them coming from behind so i wonder if there is some sort of unwritten rule where you are suppose to pull over.

Kingys right.. they do that to avoid getting killed. They CANNOT stop.

  If the enemy knows that they will stop or slow down for any reason, they can plan and lay in wait.. to kill them.

  Stop applying western views and values to a different culture, we are the complete enemy they were born to kill. They dont follow international laws or common sence.

You're right, of course.  I hadn't thought about that.  The Hummer looked so huge compared to the other vehicles that it never occurred to me that they were still vulnerable.  I apologize for the previous comment.

Yeah, I guess they gotta drive like that or risk the chance of getting shot. Still..... there's something wrong about it. Ah well.
