The War in Iraq has gone Mad Max

Remember Mad Max, followed by Mad Max 2 and concluded with Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome? Mad Max was a cult favorite that told the story of Mel Gibson (Mad Max) trying to survive in a post-apocalyptic world. There was an oil shortage, souped up, weaponized cars and crazy car chases. Here is a common scene from Mad Max:




Because of logistics foul ups, or immediacy or possibly because some soldiers wanted to Pimp their rides, pick up trucks North of our Border in Iraq have make shift weapons and armor installed on them.







Notice the sign on the concrete barricade indicating the direction to Kuwait.

I tihnk when the war is eventually over, I will go to the Basra scrap yard and buy one of these trucks and equip it with paint ball bullets so I can shoot bad drivers, people talking on their mobiles and people driving very slow in the fast lane.
