I spoke with a danish guy at a dinner party tonight and he is an ex soldier. He quit the danish army and started school instead of going to Irak, but alot of his best friends and colleges went down there to fight, all pro soldiers with 5+ years of combat experince from Bosnia and other nasty places.
One night the boys stop a truck to check it out and it end up with one of his friends blows the other friends head off because it's dark and he sees him as an enemy because he has a rifle but no helmet.. everybody is a pumped up by adrenaline and properly scary shitless and they have no time to ask questions about anything because the other person or enemy will shoot you first if he can.
He said to me, that you can't blame people for making mistakes when they are at war. And specially not when you havn't been there yourself.
He never blamed his friend for blowing his other friends head off because he has been figthing with them for 5 years and know what it's like!
I give much respect to him!

I'm sure the 'Bush admin' could come up with other ways of stopping cars with all the oil/money that they have.
Spikes in the road? or a 'I can't drive bomb'
I wonder what actions these kids take when they are 19/20.

you never really know what to say to something like that. Victims of a war that is so, so wrong on so many levels...2 of many.
More blood on the hands of bush and his administration. Damn them all to hell.

Since we're inferring the events of what happened, explain this...you see gunshots ahead, so why do you drive towards the gunshots? It's twilight, gunshots can be seen from quite a bit away, as well as heard. So why do you go towards danger with your entire family packed in the car? There's something wrong with that situation...
