What do you mean "the Italians were not sensitive to the realities of what's happening in this war"? I don't understand what you'd have them do differently. According to them, they were not speeding and received no warnings. You think they should just accept that driving along the road is cause to get shot? Your thinking seems to justify the targeting of any car on the road.
Do all cars traveling on the roads have to check in with the US forces in order to prevent getting killed? How can you say that the Italians failure to communicate their plans is another justification for US troops to shoot at them?
You fail to address some simple points in your arguments - the people in this car had been through numerous checkpoints before and were well-versed in the procedure that should be adopted when approaching one, and had successfully done so many times previously. They were experienced military personnel who knew what's what, yet you still say that they were just speeding down the road ignoring all the warnings. It just doesn't stack up.
