That's pretty crazy, especially the way they bump the traffic in front of them.

I wouldn't stop. Who knows why anybody is going slow in front of you for no reason, ambush?

It's called "American blatant disregard for other human beings". They are such assholes.

^^^You serious? I call that "wanting to keep on living and if a little bump on the rear bumper of someone else keeps me alive then I'm fine with that". For the situation they're in I say good job on still being on the correct side of the dirt.

Some of the people got the picture and got right over. If they didn't, they WILL the next time. no one got hurt, and the American soldiers got through safely.

You do what you have to do.. There have been moments where I have been in a 30+ vehicle convoy and someone tries to break into our lanes. You cant tell the difference from a civilan to a bomber. Give them a few loud honks and if they still attempt to cut us off then they get the bump. So many troops die there even till today and we hear about it on the news and those lost troops are forgotten by the time the next story is done.
