Cookie Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 And they wonder why the forces have no respect from anyone in Iraq.
richie_stix Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 twats.... just cos they are foreign don't mean they don't love their cars!
Stu_B Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 To be fair I'd be driving like that... if they stop they get blown up or shot at
Daggle Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 However playing devils advocate, if they were to get stuck in a traffic jam and a suicide bomber wanted to then it would be very easy to blow up a vehicle that is sitting still. Just the same as its very easy for a sniper to take a shot when a vehicle is stationary. IMO opinion then it is probably standard procedure for them to take on that sort of tactical manouvere. Let's not forget that there are people out there wanting those soldiers dead. As for the damage that a hummer can do, then you should have seen the carnage that a stretched hummer travelling at around 80mph on the M25 plowing into stationary traffic can do, I have. There is no need for stretched Hummers on the streets of the UK. However in a war zone then they are a very effective tool
hotrodholty Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 To be fair I'd be driving like that... if they stop they get blown up or shot at good point, but half of the cars they hit looked like they where goin to move had they been given the chance, if some fooker hit my car and i had an ak47 to hand, which most iraqi's seem to have i shoot the fookers too. unless they where flying the union jack of course

petrolhead Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 I've seen that clip before its a few years old when things were really lively over there. I think it was the lead vehicle in a convoy and just following the S.O.P. of not stopping whatever the reason, for the already mentioned point that they are much more vunerable to RPG's and IEDs.
Durham Fiesta Posted September 22, 2008 Report Posted September 22, 2008 if there was a chance that some fooker was gonna be taken pot shots at me thers is no chance i'd be stopping in traffic. As said its probably a standard tactic out there. Can't believe people are stressing about peoples cars in a war zone
richie_stix Posted September 23, 2008 Report Posted September 23, 2008 makes sense... the way the video os 'marketed' tho does make it look like marines just taking the piss!
