Comments - US Soldiers Run an Iraqi Off the Road

It would probably be nice to check on the guy that you just caused to roll his truck. To see if he's, you know, dead or something.
What a superb recruitment advert for insurgents

If you are in a war zone, it doesn't matter if the guy is a terrorist or not. All that matters is the threat behavior. Unknown guy in trashed out pickup is coming up too close, take him out. You get to go home, arms and legs intact. Wait to see if he is a crazed Jihadi with a truck full of explosives, well, you might not get to make another mistake.
Rules, rightousness, and justice are for armchair quarterbacks with lots of
time.
See threat, neutralize threat, live. They all know the rules, too. He was already way too close.

Things like this do not make insurgents, there religion does. Its there duty. Read the book, youll be surprised.

Not sure what was going on there from such a small clip. Kinda looked like the soldiers where just fucking with that guy though. Hope not.

I have a question for all of you here......how many times do you think this happen in the US every day? I don't know, but I know that people have tried to run me off the road before. Just because it's overseas people automatically freak out and start anti-america bashing. This type of shit happens every day, so stfu and gtfo.
Elafontitus [ban] | Feb 16 07 : 8:47am
I have a brother in the marines and think our boys kick ass.
But if they just plowed some random dude off the road that was fucked up, and the only thing that would make that clip better, is if while they were laughing about it a dumptruck blindsided them.

everyone over there knows to get the fuck off the road when they see a military convoy coming their way because they know we don't stop for ANYTHING. ever heard of a blocked ambush? yeah it sucks that it happened but people over there know that this is exactly what happens when they don't clear the road. why do we do it? it saves our soldiers lives.
Elafontitus [ban] | Feb 16 07 : 9:15am
I never thought i would be on this side of an argument, but i have to say it looked like they had plenty of room to just go around that little truck. It was just one humv there was no convoy behing them. I wouldnt punish these soldiers but if i was with them i would tell them to cut that shit out.
hauntedbody [ban] | Feb 16 07 : 9:20am
i cant say much by lookin at the small clip. it could be just soldiers messin around with eachother hence da "wohoooo".
To try and comment on such a short clip is never going to work.Maybe they were chasing after this truck because it left the scene of a bombing with other trucks.It may have ran over some civilians,who knows.Sometimes
you laugh to keep from going bonkers.i have done a tour over there and you simply have no idea on a day to day basis what the hell is going on.All i know is that I wanted myself and my buddies to get home with 10 toes and 10 fingers and thats what was on my mind.\
Shit happens everyday
cucarachito [ban] | Feb 16 07 : 11:09am
*sigh* ..i hate to say this, but, i dont think this guy was an insurgent. if the soldiers thought this truck might explode i dont think they'd be hanging out the window with a camcorder and yelling "woohoo!" im afraid our guys were just being guys. ....and ....why would you run off redd foxx , from sanford and son, off the road anyways?

I have never bashed anybody on here before but chrisgreen47 you are an idiot. I served with british soldiers and they are great but large mouth fools like you should stick to what you know. Which is how to squeeze in 15 hours of video games while eating cheetos in you underwear without your mom giving you a hard time. 
mate

I still don't get why the vast majority of the United States Military videos we see on here make the U.S. Marines look like bully scumbags. And then we get these Europeans coming on here, who ALREADY hate us, and this only reinforces their opinion. Really gives people a shitty view on our boys over there. I think Gildorg put it perfectly with "need more info to judge." Nobody in here can judge this video because there are so many little intricacies that need to be taken into account. There are two assumptions one can make, 1.) They were being dickheads, 2.) They were trying to avoid being the next "four dead by a carbomb in Iraq today" on the news. Since we only see like 6 seconds, nobody can say anything.
@ChrisGreen47 - Dude, America puts billions upon billions towards reconstruction/schools, far more than any other country in the Coalition, so what the fuck are you talking about??? Get your facts straight, douchebag.

on this post, what makes us hate americans is clearly more the comments you guys make rather than the video itself... the analysis that is made of this short clip, shows how brutally ignorant some of you are, in a country where you have luxury and education, it cant be taken otherwise than a failure of dignity...
(really sorry about this comment, but it's honest)

To the french you americans are the devil? really? Is that why they gave you the statue of liberty? I think you're being a bit dramtic.
I think what you should be observing is how dreadfully bad the french are at everything. War, personal hygene and making cars. Sounds nice though when you fuck a french chick. The stuff they say when they're grabbing the back of your head when they're just on the edge... priceless. The one i fucked did actually shave her pits and wore deoderant. But her breath was rank. still 2 outa 3 ain't bad.
chrisgreen47, I am ex-military, I have seen it from all sides. from what you are saying, I don't believe you, that you served. soilders from all forces, when feel threatend pull the trigger. The US has put much into reconstructing. In no way am I bashing Brit troops. Your bashing of the US troops makes you look very uninformed. As toxicty posted, we have no idea what is happening in this video. who is anybody to judge. As for you statement "Yank morons" fuck you
@ ChrisGreen - "America Army BAD," Ya you sound really informed, judging by your diction and grammar. Your whole last post was like one long sentence. How is anyone supposed to take your argument seriously if you can't even put together a coherent senctence? Your a huge douchebag in my book.
Way to quick...(by the way Scott, all of the best shit on the web...Here @ NT, has been rolling just fine for Me)...
I have no flippin' idea why United States Military ran this truck off the road...
Here are some ideas:
The guys in the little truck just planted an I.E.D., and killed an American...(unlikley, considering the laughs and jeers)...
They (The United States Military) Were just being fucking assholes and abusing thier power...
Or...This didn't even happen in "The field of combat," but here in the great state of Colorado (inside the U.S.A.), in our "psycho" city of Denver: Some guy accidentally cut off another driver on the highway....Bam, Baby!!! The rest is history!!! It's called (here in the States): "Road rage!!!"
Don't think that the savages only live on secluded little places in the world...I am an American (I Thank God, don't get me wrong...)...but, I can attest to the absolute Maniac mentality that people in my Country have. It's sad, (to me) but true... 
Hey, it was nice to be quoted. I am also ex-military, and I will be the first to say that, Boys will always be Boys.
There are those who act-up every chance they get and then there are the ones that always follow procedures. Most of the men I served with tended towards the latter...
Again, I must stick with what I said eariler... It is simply not enough information to make the call on this one...
I do not remember if it was on here, but there was a video of a bunch of Marines playing around with a goat and the goat was headbutting one of the guys Helmets while he was on all fours goofing around.
It was kinda of cute. I remember some people made negative comments about it, but I guess some people can find negative things to say about anything...

Chris green not everyone is perfect no matter where they are from. Condemning a whole country for the actions of a few shows you are a close minded ignorant person. Go to your Klan meeting and we'll talk again later.
@ ChrisGreen - Grammar is still quite bad. I could get into how, but that's beside the fact. I flat out disagree with you, and Phatberry even more.
@ Phatberry - Until whereever the fuck you're from becomes a shining example of a Utopian society - STFU!
BankyConan put it right, "Condemning a whole country for the actions of a few shows you are a close minded ignorant person."

Now i know why there is more and more IED on Iraki roads...
If you think that’s war, then it’s true, the US gets rid of dead beat idiots by using them as cannon fodder. So far everything is going according to plan. I don't even have to convince people to fly into building anymore :-) The US army takes over. They even killed my worst enemy Saddam. Thank you very much. I love it when a plan comes together :-)
Catch me if you can idiots.

hi i am in the us air force and i have seen this happen b4 when u are in a convoy you are not supposed to stop for nething or neone snd this just looks like the guy iwont get out of the way of a convoy in a war zone so they bumped them off the road so u eruopeans who think this is a bad move you go to iraq and watch how many of these bastards will blow u up and theirselve and then start talking shit about bullying maybe the guy was just a slow driver but are u going to take that chance i dont think so, so i would run them off the road in a heartbeat and he should have known to get outta the way when a military convoy is comming through

A lot are...but not all (god i cannot believe i just said that) 
It`s idiots like this that drag down the whole united states military...

no wonder the whole world hates us. its behavior like that that makes me fear for my families safety when leaving the country. we say were there to help when often were actually were there to help ourselves, and impose our will on others. something this country would never tolerate be done to us. the ideal America was just an idea.

who the fuck knows what was really happing in this short clip. But us americans are dicks that have the belief that we should police the world. When we have starving children, homeless, jobless, and a whole mess of our own problems that we sweep under that big rug.I for one say fuck every other country untill it fucks with us.then I say burn those motherfuckers down and let ali sort them out FUCK EM 
Caliaviator07 [ban] | Jul 5 08 : 11:40pm
To tell you the truth I never was the type that wanted to wait and see if he was a threat or not. Before you call those troops idiotic know this, everyone has the potential to kill you, even drivers who get in front of your convoy. And the Woohoo was more likely the sound of them being glad he wasn't a suicide bomber.
Convoys aint suppossed to stop for anything but what the hell happened to the steering wheel, its not called stopping its called avoiding a collission, lets say your wife were to be driving down the road with a preagnant baby in a Geo while a Arabic man has a hum and smashes her off the road, then its a crime and everyone has a pissy fit.It's not a matter of they, thats racist prejudice.

I was over there last year and nobody ever stops to check them out on a convoy. Thats like a suicide mission. "Excuse me Mr. terrorist,are you ok?"
