Wow dude, thats wrong. That looks like something i did when played Driver or GTA. Is that even legal for the US army to do that, just ram other cars and busses? They could have easily killed someone like that.

Clearly the horn is being blown the entire time, if you don't wanna move, we'll move you.

Lol "the guy picking his nose" in the end was hilarious!
Man those duma$$ troops there are getting bombed because they are acting like that like DriftNSc said. They really should stop doing that.....I thought they were going to hit a person walking in the street.... 
Next thing you know, they'll be doing this to a "Pimped" Honda
Crush the honda! Crush the Honda!

My best friend was over in Iraq for one year. His MOS is 88M, which happens to be a driver. They are TRAINED to do those things. It's defensive driving to the max. They are trained to wail on the horn, and make hand gestures for the driver to move out of the way (usually a pointing to the nearest shoulder with their index finger), and if they don't move, they get moved. Plain and simple. It's about self and life preservation over there. To think that they are being hit with IED's (which my friend just happened to experience as the driver of a deuce and a half) as retaliation for self preservation is ludircrous beyond all logic and is an insult to the men and women who have to do that to save their own lives.

Driving in Iraq with a big target on your back makes you have to drive that way... That's why it's training. It sucks, but it has to happen. In the U.S., you drive under an overpass and you think nothing of it. In Iraq, you drive under and over pass and there may be someone waiting to toss a grenade in the open hatch of your hummer. To counter that, they have to drive basically in a rolling "s" (think how a snake moves) under the bridge just to avoid those situations. It's a tough place to go to work every day... and that's what the forces on the ground are trying to do... just go to work.

No wonder Iraqi insurgency is at all time high. Time to bring our troops home. Did President Bush see this video?

Narrow-minded responses? Give me a break.
If a foreign army came to my country to "liberate me" and drove like that, I be the first to shoot them.What would you do?
Driving like that is complete BS. Urban warfare is futile if you don't have the support of the people. Driving around and smashing up the cars (which would be one of their most prized possessions) is a sure fire way to piss people off. It's freaking outrageous.
