When I first read the cowardly driver's account last week, something just struck me as wrong. If there were a dozen trucks in the convoy and three drivers were killed, then there would be nine civilian drivers screaming for the heads of the soldiers who'd abandoned them, not just this one idiot.

I'm glad to see I was correct in my beliefs, but I doubt we will ever see an apology from ABC or any of the other MSM flunkies who jumped on the bandwagon and started screaming about cowardice and treason.

Seems to me the only weenie on this truck trip was this Wheeler guy.

Hey Dude, if the smell of cordite scares you, stay the f**k home!!

After watching the video finally at my husbands request, it is obvious that the idiot video taping actually caused the convoy to stall. If he had been focused on driving, instead of videotaping, he would have been able to stop without stalling his own truck. He caused the pile up behind him.
The other men were killed in trucks that were ahead of Wheeler that had been hit by IED's and small arms fire. The gun truck that drove off, only keep moving to keep the convoy moving. But because of Wheeler they could not.
My understanding is that ABC failed to inform the public that at least 3-4 other gun trucks were left to protect the remaining trucks. Again, no one was killed in these trucks.
Because this idiot driver blocked the road, neither the gun trucks or the bob tail responsible for helping stranded trucks could get to them.
He should have put his camera up and drove.
