Trigger happy US troops
Here we go again.
Appears a Canadian diplomat vehicle was following behind a US convoy when a gunner decided to shoot'em up. US Army story is hand signals to slow were given and warning shots fired before thay blasted the vehicle. Canadian story is that the car was following as it had done hundreds of times before when a trigger happy soldier put three rounds into the car...(one through the windshield missing a passenger by an inch) without any warning. Who you gonna believe? |

Who you gonna believe? Don, I believe it is the great U.S. of A trying to keep Canada in it's place. Anyway, who will ever miss a Canadian or two. -- Reggie ************************************************** ************* That's my story and I am sticking to it. ************************************************** ************* |

All in the car survived unhurt. |

Perhaps you should paint the logo of one of the big oil companies on your vehicles, so that our troops are reminded for whose profits they are fighting. Probably better off not using the Exxon logo, though...those big X's might give some of our boys ideas. Haliburton logos all over should make us bulletproof. |

The reality is ... these guys are driving through areas prone for attacks. Their comrades in arms are being blown up every other day. They are briefed every day as to "suspicious activity" and how to respond. If I were in their shoes, and somebody even looked cross-eyed at me I'd blow their head off. Gimme a break, Harry. These guys are not involved in politics. RCE |

If you read the whole article, the reason for the shots was that the Canadian car was attempting to pass the convoy. This is a usual practice of suicide bombers. There was a sign on the military vehicles that said "Do not pass". After hand signals were ignored and warning shots fired bullets were directed into the engine block and one missed and went thru the lower portion of the front window. You know an automatic rifle has a tendency to travel UP as the shots are fired. Military vehicles tend to travel very slow (25MPH) allowing them to avoid many obstacles safely. My objection to the article is that this information is provided too far into the piece. Most of you didn't bother to read the entire article and jumped to the conclusion that it was a trigger happy soldier. |
