bahahaha.

Friend of mine was (is?) in the National Guard.  He told me that when 
they're in convoy (between bases, or whatever), that local police and
highway patrol have NO jurisdiction over them.  Said one small-town
cop tried to pull over a couple of troop haulers for speeding - the
guys in the hauler laughed, gave him the finger, waved their guns
around, and kept going...
