Haven't they learned that they will be fired upon if they are asked to stop and they don't stop?

I could try and run a military check point at one of the base gates here in Hawaii and get fired on.
Or I could fly all the way to Iraq and drive for the Canadian consular.

Great, nine months of "Fascist USA whaaaaa!" whining opeds from our frozen neighbors to the north.
If the reverse happened, the Canadian shooters would be puree, and we'd say "Eh, forget it, we've got more important things to deal with."

What the hell are Canadians doing in Iraq anyway? Or what are they doing in our green zone if they refused to join the fight? OK., so, I'm not saying that we should be shooting at them. Our Canadian brothers and sisters are holding the line in Afghanistan. Anyway, whatever. I have no idea what I'm trying to say.

Let's not be too harsh on the Canadians. I travel South to get my Rx in Windsor at a savings of 70-90%.

Maybe the soldiers overheard the passengers talking on listening devices and thought the "Eh's" sounded like "Allah Akbar!"

The placement inside the green zone makes this report suspect.
