Makes me wish I could drive like that sometimes

Of course for the troops there is a practical reason. But sometimes I just feel like getting a license plate that says "GTFO".

But ramming their cars wouldn't make much of a difference there to the bodywork, since it's already crappy.  If you do that here to a Bently, you have yourself a problem.

I understand the humor... But in reality, I saw no tactical reason for their doing that. By the comments at the end of the clip, it appeared that they were simply doing it to do it.
I watched it a few times and saw a couple occasions where the driver of the car they rammed came close to hitting pedestrians on the side of the road.
As someone who has been there, and knows first hand that regardless of what you read in the papers or see in CNN... this partially explains WHY the mass majority of Iraqi's dont appreciate us. We are seen as just a bunch of Cowbuy Bullies who do what we want when we want with no regard for the indiginous people.
And this video is proof positive that they are right.
TURN OFF RANT.

"Yer dad-gum right pa! All a dem a-rabs is da same! We oughtta jist kills 'em all! They DISRVE it!" Deserve it? For what, living in Iraq? Uh-oh terrorist.  What the hell do they teach you in the Young Marines? Those are people, in cars, that are being PURPOSEFULLY hit by some jack-off in a Humvee with a superiority complex.  They aren't all terrorists, besides, you sound like a racist.  Not like, an intelligent racist who has carefully considered both points of view (but is still wrong), but the kind of racist who hates people just because his dad did.  They are in a street, and should at least try to observe the rules of the road.  I could be wrong, but I don't think Humvees are treated the same way as firetrucks, besides, its not like those ass-bags were in a warzone...

At 2:11, I wonder if they "bumped" the pedestrian....it made the same sound as it side swiped a car earlier on.

That's essentially how all the parents who drop of their kids at my highschool drive in the parking lot.  I know it's a different situation and all, it just needs to be made known how a lot of people drive in scottsdale.  People drive on the medians too

 :roll:

Gotta act on that sparkling clean SUV that hasn't seen more than a speed bump.

Seems that the reason why a lot of people in that country hate us is that some of our soldiers act like complete and total assh*les.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand the soldier's point of view in this case, to stop is to invite ambush.

Looks like they all drive the same crappy cars. Also I thought thats how everyone drives there. Also I thought that the hummers were treated like emergency vehicles.

I think the reason why they are pushing their way through traffic is because if they stopped, they would be more prone to ambush. To me it seemed like the people knew to get off when bumped. And im sure they oblige because they dont want to be caught in the middle of a firefight.

I believe that was the front right tire coming off of the median.
However, I could be wrong.
