How not to approach a US Army checkpoint

Another Italian female gets herself kidnapped in Iraq. Whining and screaming (why were you there in the first place?), they get themselves released after millions in ransom are payed. Speeding home to the safety of the US Army, they forget that the preferred weapon of choice for Muslim Psychopaths is the carbomb. The grunts are naturally a bit cautious of vehicles racing towards them. Tip: Next time you approach an Army checkpoint, give the soldiers manning it some time to identify you.
