I had severals goals when I left for Iraq and one of them was to ride in coalition force military vehicle. These vehicles are souped up Hondas for the Japanese here. There are cool looking, fast and very cool looking AND small inside! I could barely fit inside but didn't get a ride. The Japanese are very friendly. Heck, I wave to a dozen people every day here that I don't even know. It's ironic that I and others feel pretty dern safe around so many friendly people in a war zone.
