Saw this in class today. If only we could do this with our trucks.

Will somebody in the Military please explain???

I figure they must have some sort of visual signal so people know to move (some moved way early)... Pretty cool, though, that they can give love taps to get poeple out of the way...Must have been something important they were headed to...

 

Sorry my friends, I won't win any points here.

A doughnut run by some of the Blackwater Gang, perhaps.

It disgusts me to see how some Americans act in Iraq and I find it no wonder that the Iraquis do not respect their "American Rescuers" as much as those of us here at home think they should.

Put yourself in the position of those 8-10 drivers who had no place to go when they were bumped out of the way by a HumVee.

Sucks, and I see it as a leadership failure, whether that HumVee was a US Military vehicle or one of those mercenary types.

Keep a good eye on the Hearings and the FBI investigation of the Blackwater performance in Iraq. Might learn something.

Some days I wish I could do that with my F150

 

They will not stop their vehicles due to the fact that a stationary object is an easier target to hit with missiles/projectiles. They keep moving so that in case something does happen, they aren't stranded in traffic with no way out. It's all just a way to try and keep the soldiers in the convoy a little bit safer.

lol . Who cares? The hummer needs to get where it needs to get, and those people obviously dont take pride in their vehicles like we do, they just have them to get where they need to be. Besides, they gotta worry everyday about it being burned in a suicide bombing, who needs insurance

 

I have come II that close to doing it a time or two. A few times I've wanted to do more than a love tap.......

 

GOD I WISH I COULD DO THAT!!! I don't feel sorry for any of the SOB's over there. They should have been hitting them with the 50 cal too!!

 

I wonder what happened to the tractor at the end?

 

I wanna ****in do that!!

 

that was cool. I guess they aren't worried about door dings?

 

Hell yeah War's a bitch, if you don't like it, well to ******ing bad!!! Wish I could be down there helping our soldiers out.

Here's to all our soldiers at war, KICKING ***

 

Very first thing that popped into my head when they started bumping cars. Mercs.

 

Exactly, 6 years active duty USMC working on hmmvs. There is a turrent on top of that thing with a guy exposed to anyone that wants to kill him! Thats why they dont stop. Its not because they can, its because they have to, so we can welcome them home.
