So I'm driving into work this morning and I'm noticing traffic is a bit heavier then normal. So I assume there's an accident or some people are rubber necking something on the other side of the freeway. Traffic is slow for about 5 or so miles, and when I get to the source of the problem, there's a US Army Hummer off to the side of the road broken down.
No one bothered to help these soldiers. No one pulled over to see if they needed assistance, nothing. So since no one else would, I pull over and hand them my cell phone and let them call their Commanding Officer. We exchange pleasantries and they thank me for my phone and I thank them for their service (nice bunch of folks really), but it irritates me that there was traffic for MILES and no one thought to pull over to help these people.
Granted I work in one of the most liberal city in the nation, but you'd think that if people would actually "support the troops", they'd actually do something when they can help someone in need. I guess not.
