Mr. Morrison recalls his strong recollection of the smells and sights upon arrival in Afghanistan.
Transcription
Nothing, nothing like I had expected and it was scary from the moment I got into Kabul. The smell, it was horrible. If I close my eyes I can almost still smell it, just disgusting, garbage everywhere. They skin their meat right on the middle of the road and it was an eye opener. And when I first arrived they have what’s called air sentry so the majority of the people are in the armoured vehicle, but I was nominated to take my weapon and stand outside or stand probably waist high above the hatch and just I was told don’t let any vehicles pass us or anybody to come near us and if they tried then I was to point my weapon at them and if need be shoot at them. It was different and that’s pretty much when war or a non-peacekeeping duty hit me. It still took a while to sink in but I knew that I wasn’t in Canada anymore, that’s for sure.
