Seems appropriate to drop this footage here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhfNQBNrp9Y

Refers to a bank robbery in Alicante, Spain in 2007 and some direct action taken. The footgae clip has been around awhile, but has a new lease of life in 2009 - according to a swift Google check.

Like I said, you can't fix stupid but at least stupid should hurt.

He does a little flailing initially until he settles in and finds his range but all things considered he doesn't do too bad, now does he?: stays on his feet; sticks and moves.

A related film popped up after viewing that. It's "How to drive a Hummer in Iraq" (If we actually have Hummer's in Iraq, then Fraud, Waste, and Abuse has been taken to a new level, but I guess that's for a new thread)

At first, I thought that this was some cocky, poorly supervised individual who thought he was some kind of tough guy. But, after a minute or so, seeing that he's not really bumping these cars too hard, and seeing the traffic congestion, I thought it was a good example of good driving. That is, until he went into oncoming traffic...

I directed my driver into oncoming traffic several times - but never when traffic was as congested as it was in the video, in both directions - and certainly not in an area where the traffic pattern is that complex. Usually it was on a straight road, when traffic ahead of us was backed up, but traffic in the oncoming direction was relatively clear.

I think it could be a good instructional video, had it continued on for another few minutes. I'm not sure what happens after the tape stops. My reaction, while viewing, was that these guys got way too far to the left and were only going to make traffic worse, portray a very poor image of American Soldiers, not get to where ever they were going much sooner, and not doing a whole lot to mitigate the threat of an attack while moving slowly or temporarily halted.

When traffic is that congested, I always thought it more prudent to either
a) dismount and help to unscrew traffic
- and/or
b) dismount to augment security provided by the turret gunners
