New Iraq War Footage Recorded By US Troops, Uploaded on YouTube: Humvee Driving, Iraqis Getting Down

Above we see an American Humvee making its way through an Iraqi traffic jam.

Some say they are driving this way because a US military vehicle stuck in traffic is a sitting duck for an insurgent with a dream.

Still, we worry about the pedestrians.

After the jump, US troops using military video equipment, tape an Iraqi couple having sex in a convertible.

If I were an insurgent, I'd wanna blow this shitheads to pieces too! Are they ramming those cars? Sure as fuck looks like it. This is why nobody likes the U S and A.

Do they post this stuff in an effort of transparency or stupidity?

yes it seems assholish but they really are trying to avoid an attack by not staying in one spot. insurgents don't have as much time to set off a grenade or things of that sort. sooner or later iraqis will learn to get out of the way like we do for ambulances etc.

think about it before letting your emotions respond for you.

To "X" I'd say think about it before letting your sympathies respond for you.

Because what are the soldiers in this vehicle actually accomplishing? If they're on patrol are they actually doing any patrolling? No. Are they providing security? No. A presence? Hardly. They're just bat-outta-helling it down the boulevard either for their own self-preservation or they're late to their destination or both.

And as to your assertion that they're somehow educating Iraqis as to the finer points of yielding to emergency vehicles? Do try to give these people some credit and/or benefit of the doubt. No matter how heathen you incorrectly consider them I'm pretty sure they now how to get out of the way of an oncoming ambulance.
