Hyena Road
Kandahar Province,
southern Afghanistan,
the birthplace of the Taliban.
It's 54,000 square kilometres
of brutal insurgency,
conflicting agendas,
tribal rivalry and blood feuds.
This is the Canadian Forces'
area of operation. We wear it.
And every day, we drive deeper
into the furnace
of enemy country.
It's one hell of a rough road.
Three Niner Alpha, this is 66.
66, this is Three Niner Alpha.
Send. Over.
66. I have contact. Over.
Three Niner Alpha, roger.
About 15 left to one.
Wind gusts 15 to 20.
Left to right.
Old left-hand-sided target.
On.
The buddy's got a shovel.
- Could be a farmer.
- On a road?
Why not?
'Cause it's a road, man.
Could be a real shitty farmer
who's, like, constantly
puzzled, you know?
He's in the village asking,
"Why are my crops so lousy?"
And no one has the heart
to say, "Hey, buddy...
you can't grow, like...
anything on a road."
Will you shut the f*** up?
Bad move. He's got a
shell casing shaped like a 122,
orange det cord
sticking out of the nose.
Three Niner Alpha, this is 66.
I have PID, positive ID
on one times insurgent.
Time of contact 10:28 local.
66, this is Three Niner Alpha.
Over.
Three Niner Alpha, 66. Sitrep.
One times insurgent,
grey man jams,
black head dress, holding
a 122 mm shell casing
with orange det cord
emanating from the top.
Emanating?
Coming out of the top.
And now he's placing
the projectile into the hole.

Good copy.
Hickey, get the Coyote
on the patch just 10 meters
left of that culvert,
put a round in it.
What do you think?
It's probably nothing.
Hickey, put a round
in that patch next to it.
Could be just
a bad patch of road.
