That must be the best way to slow down the US Army. Make road blocks with manual transmission vehicles and they'll take hours to free the way.
I don't know if its true but a sergeant told me years ago (about the mid-1980's) that most russian soldiers were unable to drive properly an western truck (too complcated). Then, he told me that some were planning on slowing down the red army by making road blocks with our most modern trucks.
