Question One:
You are driving toward an intersection (perhaps you are on your way to pick up a kid from school or a few groceries, or perhaps you are a resistance fighter, or perhaps all of the above) being followed closely by another car. Suddenly, you realize that the gunfire you hear is coming from directly in front of you. You cannot reverse, because of the car behind you. Do you:
A) Stop, exit your car with hands raised.
B) Speed through the intersection in the hope that whoever is shooting will miss.
C) Kiss your sweet ass goodbye.
Join me below for the correct answer.
The correct answer is, D) None of the above. You were dead before you could even tap the brakes. There is no need to proceed to the next question. You have already failed the course. Why?
Because some Americans on a rooftop thought they had taken a sniper round and, under our boys-gone-wild rules of engagement, they felt authorized to fire on anything that moved. And, well, you were moving. After the high fives and the rebel yells, one soldier asks another if "he had got the whole thing on tape."
He had.
What you see in this video is a war crime. It is also routine. If you are moving and Iraqi in an unpredictable variety of circumstances, you are fair game.
And think, soon we hope, these wild boys will be coming home.
