How many times do you read "American Soilders killed by carbomb at check point etc"

Why Didnt these people stop? Regardless of "safe zone" or not. If you are a soilder and a vehicle fails to stop when asked, tell me what you are supposed to do?

I think that if a huge convey of US Military Vehicles is flagging me down to stop, I would stop.

That being said

" However, military convoys carry markings warning that the common procedure is not to pass, a precaution against suicide bombers, he noted.

If vehicles fail to respond to hand signals followed by warning shots, “shots may be fired at the vehicle,” he said. "

What the fuck hurry were they in.

If you want to Blame some one Blame the drive of that vehicle for
1. Disregarding common procedure to not pass a convoy
2. failing to stop after hand signals
3. failing to stop after warning shots were fired above the car

Dont bring all this bullshit upon US soilders for following the procedure on how to handle this. they didnt just immediatly open fire on the vehicle and RPG it. they gave 2 warnings before shooting the engine block and lower windshield(which amazingly is no where near any occupants)

again another failed attempt on how everything is USA's fault.
