Convoy Stories

"Jack Army describes a recent convoy.
He observes how a civilian driver reacts to a gunner’s “corrective action” when the driver was driving too close to the convoy. (The corrective action was to reorient the gun towards the driver.)

Those folks looking for a fight will get one. I'm not worried about that. It's the regular folks that are just going about they're daily lives that I worry about. Those are the folks that I'm here to protect and they are caught in the middle, as it were. So if they get too close to my big, heavy, dangerous trucks they could get hurt or their cars get damaged. If the enemy decides to attack us while civilians are near, they will get hurt... and they don't wear armor plates, helmets and drive around in armored vehicles. Their flimsy cars, motorcycles and donkey-carts will get ripped to shreds.
So, it is a little humorous to see the quick reaction of a local guy who realizes that US Army Gunner will not take "no" for an answer when he says, "slow down."
It is also a relief.

We dealt with this a lot, with some interesting variations between "in city" and rural, and between different communities."
