    Ya know, I thought this was some kind of hoax when I saw it first, I mean, who in their right mind would crush someones car for a bit of wood? Well, I was wrong...

    Full program can be found on PBS Frontline. Part One contains the footage posted here (just over half way through). Not particularly funny when it's all put in context, although I agree, those GIs were idiots.

    That doesn't exactly explain why it's supposed to be amusing, does it?

    The funny thing is, most americans think this is payback for sept 11. Idiots. This is what caused sept 11. Maybe they wont be so soprised with the next sept 11 happens.

    No taxi? No livelyhold? Tough ****.

    You shouldn't have stolen stuff.

    What do you expect, tho? A soldier job is to take orders + kill.

    Not to police.

    Military disapline = obey orders.

    So if you get soldiers to do a policemans job, with little or no orders, **** happens.

    =====

    Hope you can do that in Battlefield 2 :cool:
