One thing a lot of people don't seem to know is that the US
Interstate Highway System was built to facilitate the movement
of military traffic.  We (civilians) get to use it the rest of
the time, but the roads were built for the military.

When a military convoy is on the interstate highway, they have
right-of-way.
