Panjwa'i District, Afghanistan 16 October 2010
Let's talk!
A Leopard 2A6M Main Battle Tank from The Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) and part of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group, provides over-watch as soldiers from Charles Company conduct an impromptu shura with local villagers during recent operations in the volatile Panjwa’i and Zhari Districts of Kandahar Province. The sheer size and firepower of the Leopard 2A6M Main Battle Tank makes it a formidable force and a huge deterrent to enemy insurgents allowing for such meetings to take place.
In close cooperation with Afghan National Security Forces, 1st Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment Battle Group provides security by conducting counter-insurgency operations throughout Panjwa’i District located south-west of Kandahar City. The Battle Group conducts partnered operations with the 2nd Kandak of the 1st Brigade, 205 Corps of the Afghan National Army, Afghan National Police and the Panjwa’i District Governor in order to advance governance, reconstruction and security in the area.
Operation ATHENA is Canada’s participation in the International Security Assistance Forces in Afghanistan. Focused on Kandahar Province in southern Afghanistan since the fall of 2005, Op ATHENA has one over-arching objective: to leave Afghanistan to Afghans, in a country that is better governed, more peaceful and more secure.

District de Panjwayi, Afghanistan 16 octobre 2010
Un char de combat principal Leopard 2A6M du Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) et qui fait partie du groupement tactique du 1er Bataillon, The Royal Canadian Regiment, assure la surveillance alors que des membres de la Compagnie Charles tiennent une choura à l’improviste avec des villageois pendant des opérations récentes dans les districts instables de Panjwayi et de Zhari, dans la province de Kandahar. La taille imposante et la puissance de feu du char de combat principal Leopard 2A6M le rendent un outil impressionnant et un moyen de dissuasion important contre les insurgés.
En étroite collaboration avec les Forces de sécurité nationale afghanes, le groupement tactique du 1er Bataillon, The Royal Canadian Regiment, assure la sécurité en menant des opérations de contre-insurrection un peu partout dans le district de Panjwayi, au sud-ouest de la ville de Kandahar. Le groupement tactique mène des opérations en partenariat avec le 2e Kandak de la 1re Brigade, le 205e Corps de l’Armée nationale afghane, la Police nationale afghane et le gouverneur du district de Panjwayi afin d’améliorer la gouvernance, la reconstruction et la sécurité dans le secteur.
L’opération Athena constitue la participation du Canada à la Force internationale d’assistance à la sécurité (FIAS) en Afghanistan. Concentrée dans la province de Kandahar, dans le sud de l’Afghanistan, depuis l’automne 2005, l’opération Athena poursuit un objectif essentiel : laisser l’Afghanistan aux Afghans et en faire un pays mieux gouverné, plus paisible et plus sûr.

shout it out
i can't hold back no more
i let it out
all these feelings that were
trapped inside
i was frozen evertime
i looked in your eyes
clear my head
from all the cluttered things
i should've said
that wasn't me
no i can't live like that
I'm waking up and there is no
looking back
(chorus)
Every little tear
i was scared to cry
everyting i feared
but i kept inside
i don't wanna hold
it back one more day
oh wash it away
every tiny thought clouding
up my head
every single word that
i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed
let it rain
let it rain
clear the sky
i start to breathe again
no-thing to hide
let you through to who
i am inside
every layer
'til you get underneath my skin
let you in, let you in
(chorus)
every little tear
i was scared to cry
everything i feard
but i kept inside
i dont wanna hold it back
one more day
oh was it away
every tiny thought
clouding up my head
every single word that
i never said
i refuse to feel ashamed
let it rain
let it rain
What is it in the nature of man
That makes us hate and cheat
And steal and kill?
Why do people get off on bigotry
Intolerance and racial intolerance?
There's something wrong with human nature
Human Nature is a 1991 song performed by English singer and record producer Gary Clail. It is produced by Adrian Sherwood and features Lana Pellay on backing vocals. Released as the first single from his second album, Emotional Hooligan (1991), it peaked at number ten on the UK Singles Chart and number three on the UK Dance Singles Chart. It was also the theme tune to BBC 2's TV-show Snub.
It was originally intended to use a sample of a speech by Billy Graham on the track, however his representatives refused permission, so the song used portions of the speech re-recorded by Clail. However some promo 12" singles featuring the Billy Graham sample were pressed and distributed. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_Nature_(Gary_Clail_On-U_Sound_System_song)
