If they see cars in their path, they ram them out of the way. I bet that Afghans are very tired of seeing their cars being thrased by every whacko driving a Humvee, as long as it is HARD to buy a car in Afghanistan. You know, lack of money, lack of car resellers, lack of own car industry. Isn't very strange that some afghani people becomes mad when see their only mean of transportation, so hardly earned, being crushed in a matter or seconds. And then, the trigger happy crew of the Humvee, when see "brown" people asking them "Why in the h*ll do you have crushed my car? I was only unloading some vegetables to my cousin's shop" in farsi, don't understand cr*ap, and start shooting to the "menacing" people. #18 In fact the american military tend to use the tactic “don’t stop for anything”.
