Why did the turkey cross the road?

"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." - Benjamin Franklin.

I saw this image on the DefenseLink web site and could not help but think how totally unimpressed these Iraqi turkeys are with the most recent addition to the US Army's mechanized inventory. The photo was taken just south of Mosul, Iraq. Of course there is also the chance that this Stryker crew is just waiting to pick-off a few birds to help celebrate Thanksgiving in a few days.
