That bus should have fought back.

Post by: Dinkydave on February 26, 2007, 22:00:00: Most of the Vehicles that get hit are on the move anyway.
The IED's that get them are usually on a command wire so they'll be being watched or followed.

Thats just being BIG & YANK

It could well be they are trying to save people who are in great danger. I'm pretty certain they aren't on there way down to the kebab house thats for certain.

While a set of sirens may be a good start it's fairly controlled in so much as on the approach to vehicles they are pretty slow and the shunts are mere "Excuse me could we pass" as opposed to "Stuff you we're comming through get your kneck brace ready sucker." If they wanted to be real arses they could have really wiped out vehicles on that run.

The vehicle occupants are clearly calm, theres no "Yeah ha!" to my recollection.

They are doing a very difficult job in a very difficult situation and I take my hat off to them - despite the fact they should never have been there in the first place they have been shafted somewhat.
