Trip to Kandahar in 3 parts
TRIP TO KANDAHAR - PART ONE
This past summer, I received an invitation to go to Afghanistan to entertain the Canadian troops at the international army base in Kandahar. The invitation came via my MySpace account from Montreal-based singer/songwriter/author/renaissance man Richard Petit, who’d participated in these trips with the army before and thought I might be interested. We’d met once at a David Usher gig a few years ago, when he opened for David and I was a member of David’s band. He explained that the army organizes these trips to boost the morale of the troops, in classic USO-style. Over two thousand of the troops currently stationed in Khandahar are from a base in Val D’Or, Quebec, hence the requested participation of Quebec-based entertainers.
Richard initially presented the project to me as a subsidized production, with full band, pay and a full PA. As the weeks rolled by, the framework of the trip began to change: after the army stated that it couldn’t guarantee the participants’ safety in Afghanistan, the production company backed out of funding the show. The trip would be shortened from almost three weeks to barely a week, there would be no pay, participation would be strictly on a volunteer basis. The group going over, baptized “Team Canada”, would include a variety of Quebec “personalities” from the worlds of sports and entertainment. I’d be one of a handful of entertainers performing acoustically.
I jumped at the idea at first, but when the details came in later that the trip had become a volunteer mission with no guarantee of safety, I began to balk. Also, I grappled with the thought that my physical presence in a war zone would be tantamount to endorsing war. Upon further investigation of Canada’s military involvement in Afghanistan, I decided that the country’s mission there was more of a humanitarian one. That soothed my conscience enough to agree to go. By all accounts, this was going to be a trip of a lifetime.
The following is part one of my abbreviated diary of the experience.
Day One – The Ride to Afghanistan
Today we’re scheduled to leave Canada for Kandahar. The plan is to rendezvous at Richard Petit’s place on the Plateau early in the morning and drive to Ottawa to meet the rest of the group and board the plane to Afghanistan by mid-afternoon. I’m told we’re flying on the Prime Minister’s plane - one of Brian Mulroney’s government purchases that are part of a recent scandal. The folks gathering at Richard Petit’s house make up the showbiz contingent of Team Canada. There’s Richard, Richard’s producer Frederic and cameraman Thomas, myself, singer/actress Annie Dufresne, Marie-Pierre Fortin and Elisabetta Fantone, two very friendly and pneumatic reality TV personalities, comedian Stephane Fallu, and Jean-Rene Dufort, also known as “Infoman” on his Radio Canada series, and his cameraman Nicolas. Both Richard and Jean-Rene are producing New Year’s Eve TV specials based on this trip. Once everyone arrives, we load into our transport vehicle – a white stretch SUV limo - to make our way to the military airport in Ottawa. Richard’s brought a bunch of DVDs and loads a Paul McCartney live concert into the limo’s DVD player. We lounge, nap, watch the movie on several flat screens adorning the interior. The strips of disco lights slowly change color on the ceiling. I fall asleep sitting sideways. Soon enough we’ve arrived on the airfield in Ottawa, just late enough to get scolded by Louise, our trip coordinator and military interface. We meet the rest of our traveling companions. Among them, there are three former NHLers, Alain Cote (ex-Nordiques), Pierre Laporte (ex-Nordiques), and Gilbert Delorme (ex-Canadiens). There are also guys from the Alouettes, current football players Anwar Stewart and Dave Stala, retired player Eric Lapointe, and a couple of executives involved with the team, Richard Blais, marketing executive, and the man I get to know only as Jim, CEO of Mark’s Work Warehouse, who’s brought three thousand pieces of merchandise to distribute to the troops.
In the small airport lounge, we get briefed by our other traveling companion, General Guy Thibault, Deputy Commander of the Armed Forces. He greets us warmly. I find out later that he has official business to attend to in Kandahar. Perhaps his presence is enough of a reason for us to get access to the PM’s plane, a big grey bird waiting for us on the tarmac. Everyone’s polite and quiet. Just before we leave, we’re asked to sign forms stating that we relinquish our right to hold the army responsible in case anything happens to us. The reality of the danger we’re traveling towards begins to settle in.
After take-off, I’m given a quick tour of the plane by one of the military flight crew. The PM’s plane seems not much different than any other jumbo jet, except for a reconfigured front cabin, with foldout beds and desks and small shower stall. It’s quite modest and not as swanky as Air Force One, my tour guide tells me.
There’s enough space that each of us has claimed a row of seats to sleep in for the duration of the seventeen-hour flight. I return to mine for another nap but am awoken shortly after by one of the flight crew serving the first of several hot meals. Some of Team Canada has gathered around a desk to kill time by playing card games. One of a series of movies begins on the plane’s TV screens. It’s Val Kilmer’s “Top Secret”. Every couple of hours, we get another meal and another movie. After what seems like days later, the pilot announces that soon we’ll be landing at KAF, Kandahar Air Field. Like everyone else, I’m groggy with jet lag and nervous with anticipation.
PART TWO
The long flight from Canada to Afghanistan has left my Team Canada travel mates and me dizzy with a psychedelic combination of fatigue and excitement. I can’t remember what day it is by the time we arrive some 20 hours later, with a 9-hour time difference from home. Usually, I’m told by Richard, the army would fly us into an airport “outside the wire” (lingo for “outside the base”), but with the current danger level, they’ve decided that we’d land directly on the base at Kandahar Air Field, or KAF, as everybody calls it.
Although it’s sunny and clear outside, we’re unprepared for the winter-like temperatures. From the plane, the landscape of Afghanistan resembles the moon’s. As we each step onto the ground, the first thing that hits us is an omnipresent film of grey dust that covers everything here. The trees and bushes are white with dust. Many of us will wear the same outfit during our two-day stay.
I’ve come here as part of Team Canada, roughly twenty Canadian athletes and entertainers, to put on an improvised variety show for the Canadian troops. The show will happen tomorrow night. As expected from the military, we have a schedule of events to follow, which begins with a briefing (of which there are many), this time from a female Major stationed at KAF. She explains not to worry too much about safety on the base. If we hear a loud siren, get inside the nearest building. She tells us that although there have been rockets fired at the base by the Taliban lately, they usually come on other days of the week at particular times and no one’s died yet, only some have been injured by shrapnel in the arms, the eyes. In this extreme, alien atmosphere into which we jet-lagged civilians have just plunged, her warnings seem relatively mild.
Kandahar Air Field appears like a makeshift town, the last place on Earth that would exist after a nuclear blast, when there’d be no place else to go. I hear the sounds of jets and helicopters and look up to see endless power lines criss-cross overhead as jeeps, tanks and pick-up trucks motor around the base’s tight grid. At least, to the relief of many of our group, there’s familiar comfort in KAF”s Tim Horton’s trailer that’s always brewing and always has a line-up. The countries stationed here each comprise sections of KAF: Canada, the US, Romania, the Netherlands, Australia, New Zealand, France, England…(I’m forgetting one, I think). There are nearly thirteen thousand people here, I’m told. Everyone assembles to eat in the common cafeterias. This is where I learn to distinguish the soldiers’ nationalities by the differences in their camouflage. At every meal we have, the atmosphere in the cafeteria is both jovial and alert. The cafeteria is also the only place I see the soldiers without their machine guns strapped to their back.
We’ve been told by the Major that we will be escorted to the shooting range in two hours, if we desire, to use up live ammunition for a bit of fun. Two hours later, Richard, Annie, Marie-Pierre, Elisabetta and I have been chatting with the Canadian soldiers at Canada House, their rec room, and we’re late for our rendezvous. We hail down a soldier driving a tank going by and hitch a ride with him to our meeting point. At the target range, I learn how to shoot and reload a C8 automatic rifle. My instructor tells me I’m a good shot. This activity turns out to be a major stress reliever for most of Team Canada.
Later that evening, we are guests of honor at an informal cookout, where each of us is presented to the Canadian troops. We’ve arrived ten minutes past the hour, fashionably late, which doesn’t jive with military precision. As we eat through a menu of salad and overcooked steak with defrosted layer cake for dessert, I sit among the soldiers and talk. I gently ask them about this mission. I hear several of them say, get me out of here, as fast as you can, as far as you can. Many have completed other missions, in Bosnia, Cambodia, East Timor. The soldiers tell me that this mission has been the most difficult, because of the conditions, and because they can’t tell Taliban from non-Taliban. They’re politely conversational and seem very happy to be spending time with us. They’re also thoroughly enjoying the food, as am I. The dinner wraps up quickly, ending with requests for photographs and signatures. We say goodbye until tomorrow’s show and are bussed back to our quarters for the night. The soldiers all go back to work.
PART THREE
It’s show day, the reason we of Team Canada have come to Kandahar. After breakfast in the buzzing cafeteria, my travel mates and I are bussed across KAF to meet up with a gaggle of tanks for a tour of the base. We put on our helmets and climb into the tanks with their drivers. As we roll out towards the outer edges of KAF, I learn how to work the night-vision targeting system. I go sit up front next to the young soldier named Pierre who’s driving the vehicle. It’s his usual job to patrol around in his tank outside the wire, traveling to outposts around Kandahar, I ask Pierre what he thinks of this mission. He says that he’s already requested an extension to his 6-month tour and wants to come back in 2009, if Canada’s still helping out in Afghanistan. I tell him that he’s the only soldier I’ve met so far who’s volunteered to come back. The pay’s pretty good, he explains, and he’d be backpacking around the world on his own otherwise. The other reason for his request to return is that many of the men and women stationed here have families of their own back home and he doesn’t have anyone waiting for him.
We drive to the “Graveyard”. We’re told not to take pictures. It’s an enclosed section of the camp crammed with blackened, destroyed tanks and trucks. I visualize them burning up with casualties inside, hit by rockets, gunfire, IEDs. On his trips outside the wire, Pierre drives many of the same roads these crumpled tanks did.
As we roll past KAF airport I glimpse the landing of two US fighter jets and the lift-off of an Apache helicopter. Then it’s time to get back and prepare for the show.
After a quick regroup, Team Canada heads to the venue, a cavernous hangar with a small platform stage. The sound and lights are basic and soundcheck goes fast. We’ll be giving gifts of clothes, cds, and flashlights to the troops in between musical performances by Richard Petit, Annie Dufresne and me.
The soldiers trail in later around seven that evening and we start the show. Our audience members are all wearing their machine guns while we entertain them. Like in an episode of MASH, I hear the sound of helicopters over the troops’ laughter during Stephane Fallu’s stand-up set. On a couple of TV screens flanking the stage, Richard Petit shows a five-minute video of Quebec TV personalities sending their best wishes for a safe Christmas. The room is quiet as the video plays. They show their appreciation loudly for each of our performances, and after a couple of improvised hours of razzmatazz, the show ends. The requests for photos and signatures afterwards relax into more revealing conversation. As civilian guests at KAF, we’ve been sheltered from the harsher truths of being here. The show seems to break the ice with the soldiers, who open up to us. Some want us to tell the people back home that they don’t feel supported by their communities in Quebec. A few talk about their gruesome encounters with bodies exploded or decapitated by the Taliban. The soldiers connect with us through all sorts of conversation. After a short while, everybody leaves back to their quarters. We find out then that we are leaving Afghanistan earlier than initially planned, at eight the next morning instead of later in the afternoon. A military operation’s going into action the next day so we’re now scheduled to get out of here. It turns out that attendance at our show was lower than expected because many of the troops went to bed early in preparation for the mission, and also because the Taliban had fired rockets at the Canadian section of the camp earlier in the day. Thankfully, there were no casualties.
At daybreak the next morning we gather at the KAF airport for one last briefing, from General Delaroche. In the last six months, he says, they’ve had some very difficult times. Our show was a welcome distraction. After we board the Prime Minister’s plane once more for the trip back to Canada, I notice some Canadian troops walking onto the tarmac from a Hercules cargo plane nearby, heading to the main building to check in for duty. My chest tightens, I fear for their safety. Team Canada hasn’t been here a full 48 hours. It’s been a whirlwind trip to a war zone. On the long flight home, my travel mates and I lament the reasons why our trip had to end so abruptly.

HOT OFF THE PRESSES: THE NEW KIM BAND VIDEO, "GIRLOLOGY"!!!
Yahoo! TKB fans worldwide, we need your support - the new kickass video for "Girlology" has just been added at Muchmusic! Request it ad infinitum at ondemand@muchmusic.com!!! The concept for the "Girlology" video was inspired by a variety of crazy scenes I've witnessed in ladies' rooms while touring across the country. The lyrical hook of the song goes "Everybody knows the girls the leader of the band", meaning women generally direct their own traffic and fight their own battles (at least those I know!). The women's washroom is the trenches in the war of the sexes: we go in there seeking refuge before getting freshened up for another whirl around the club. What happens in there can be a whole other story – in fact, Stuff magazine has printed a column of transcribed conversations from women's washrooms, which only illuminates the unexpected insanity that can occur. My video director Harv and I used the Stuff column and some of my personal experiences as the basis for the video. I think we ended up with something edgier – girls fighting, girls kissing, basically dishing it out. This video is the real deal, a shocking powder room expose. Girls being girls...xoxo kim
