Thread: So you have problems in traffic, not this hummer

G'day All, Yeah I agree nudge them cars out of the way, with all the IED's that they come up with you can't blame them, but I'm surprised no-one saw the 109 Land Rover in the clip??, well if you did no-one mentioned it, can be seen at the 1.58 mark mustard colour rag top with unusual rear wheel arches cut anyway cheers Dennis

Now if a bunch of invaders took over my country and thought that they had the given right to drive like that down my streets, i would be bombing the ****ers as well. The US forces will never gain respect if they carry on like that and unfortunately we and the other nations forces get tarred with the same brush,

We use to drive in a similer way in Cambodia 92/93, white painted army FFRs flat out with the horn button taped down. Never drive of the road/track, never stop after hitting things/people and never stop at impromtue police/army/bandit road blocks. I sat on my flack jacket for the first 6 month and pi--ed in bottles , until I learnt anough khmer to ask the locals where thr mines were.

You are 100% correct.

It’s a war zone and as these solders are not exactly at ClubMed, I don’t blame them for doing anything they can to protect themselves.

BTW, I don’t get any sound track when I played that clip, but going on what was said on the other site, their not yanks talking.

I have seen being past tense in the Security Industry of how they are trained in Iraq in driving before these teams go out from videos from a Sydney Security company that I know the boss of that sends Security staff over there and last year I was considering it until the family found out.
Yes on OCCASHION they will ram a car, and yes they do not follow the road rules over there but they are kidding themselves if they think that they can ram every car they come across in front of them when not under fire. That is Crap.
I have seen footage of 4x4 suv's driven by security professionals and they get around the traffic without smashing up cars and some of the footage they have been under fire.
If you wanted to blow them up you would get in front of them when they hit you up the rear end slam the ankers on and push the button.
If the rest of the convoy are so stupid to be following up the **** of everyone else they are rooted and will be jammed in convoy for ambush.
As said if Americans are constantly did that where I lived I would take pot shots at them too. I mean what else are they doing to the people over there that is not proper law enforcement in the contest that they should be operating to get a country back on its feet. They should not have been there in the first place?.
They are not exactly at war with Iraq now and should be taking a policing approach trying to get law back in order not the ones running around flouting it when not under fire.
The extra time they save smashing cars as you see dose nothing as they have to run every car every 3 min.
That video is a disgrace to them like others, as you would expect from the American machine these days.
I have done 4 years in the Australian Army and they would not take that approach unless under direct fire.

Sorry forgot to add I have had before Regular Army for 4 years I had 2 years Army reserve training as an Field Engineer.

At least they were using there horn

Yeah great, so that meakes it ok then ? The cars and 1 bus that they rammed had mere seconds from horn to bump, like when an ambulance comes up from behind when you have the stereo on (not loud ) you cant hear it till its almost upon you.
