ʻOiaʻiʻo hiki iaʻu ke hoʻopā wale i hoʻokahi ʻaoʻao o ka mōʻaukala hou ma aneʻi.
Ke nana nei au ka hoike hou mai Costs of War.
ʻElima mau makahiki i hala aku nei, manaʻo wau ʻo Nicolas Davies me ka hilinaʻi a me ka conservative Ua manaʻo ʻia he 6 miliona mau kānaka i make pololei i nā kaua US mai 2001 ma Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Suria, Yemen, Libya, a me Somalia.
ʻO nā kumukūʻai o ke kaua i hana ai i kēia manawa, ʻo ia ke hele me ka manaʻo kānalua nui akā mahalo nui ʻia o 900,000 i pepehi ʻia i kēlā mau kaua āpau, akā haʻalele iā Libya a me Somalia. A laila ua kākau lākou i ke ʻano o nā make kūwaho ʻehā no kēlā me kēia make pololei. ʻO ka make ʻole, ʻo ia hoʻi ka make ma muli o ka hopena o ke kaua ma:
"1) eka hāʻule ʻana o ka waiwai, ka nele o ke ola a me ka ʻai ʻole;
2) dkukulu ana o plehulehu slawelawe a hka waiwai infrastructure;
3) epuni honua contamination; a
4) rʻo ka trauma a me ka hana ʻino.
A laila ua hoʻonui lākou i 900,000 me 5 = 4.5 miliona make pololei a me ka make ʻole.
ʻO ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lakene like i ka 6 miliona e loaʻa i ka 30 miliona mau make pololei a me ka make ʻole.
Akā, ʻoiaʻiʻo, hiki i ka manaʻo maʻamau i ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana i ka make pololei - inā pololei wau e pili ana i kēlā - e haʻi hou aku iā mākou e pili ana i ka nui o nā make i pololei a pololei ʻole, ma mua o ka nui o nā make. Inā loaʻa, no ka laʻana, ʻelua wale nō mau make kūʻokoʻa no kēlā me kēia make pololei mai kēia mau kaua, a laila 6 miliona manawa 3 = 18 miliona mau make.
ʻAʻohe o kēia, ʻoiaʻiʻo, e noʻonoʻo i ka nui o nā miliona o ka poʻe i make ʻole akā ua pōʻino a / a i ʻole ʻeha a / a i aʻo ʻole ʻia ma muli o kēia mau kaua. (Nā koina o ke kaua hōʻike manaʻo 7.6 miliona ʻO nā keiki ma lalo o ka ʻelima e loaʻa ana i ka pōʻino ʻai nui, or hoʻopau, ma Afghanistan, Iraq, Suria, Yemen, a me Somalia.)
ʻAʻole hele kekahi o kēia ma kahi o nā helu nui maoli, ʻo ia hoʻi i nā manawa nalowale, ke ea, ka hui ʻole, a me ka nuklea.
Me nā ʻumi piliona kālā hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopakele i nā miliona o nā ola mai ka pōloli a me nā maʻi. ʻO kēia mau kaua he mau haneli miliona. ʻO ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no lākou a no nā mea hou aku e hahai iā lākou he mau trillion. Ua luku ʻia nā kaua he miliona miliona o ka waiwai.
ʻO nā kaua a me ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no lākou a me nā mea hou aʻe e hiki mai ana, ua hana ʻino nui i ke aniau o ka Honua a me nā ʻōnaehana kaiaola, kahi e make ai nā kānaka he nui, a me nā kānaka ʻole.
ʻO nā kaua a me nā hoʻomākaukau no lākou a me nā mea hou aʻe e hahai ai, ʻo ia ke kumu nui o ka hui pū ʻana o ka honua i nā maʻi maʻi maʻi, home ʻole, ʻilihune, a me ka hāʻule ʻana o ke kaiapuni.
ʻO nā kaua a me ka hoʻomākaukau ʻana no lākou a no nā mea hou aʻe e hoʻokau i ka honua i ka pilikia nui loa o ka apocalypse nuklea.
ʻO koʻu manaʻo e haʻi mai ka hōʻike a Costs of War iā mākou, ʻo ka nui o ka poʻe i pepehi pololei ʻia i kēia mau kaua, ua nui ka poʻe i pepehi ʻole ʻia. Inā mākou e noʻonoʻo i nā manawa nalowale, a laila ke kamaʻilio nei mākou e pili ana i kahi hopena ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, me ka United States. Hiki i ka US ke loaʻa i nā pae hoʻonaʻauao ʻEulopa, mālama olakino, hoʻomaha, a me ka ikaika maʻemaʻe ma mua o kēia mau kaua.
Akā inā mākou e nānā pono i nā make kaua pololei a i ʻole ke kaua (a i ʻole nā make kaua a me nā ʻeha) pono e ʻike ʻia ʻo ka hapa liʻiliʻi loa o ka make pololei (a i ʻole nā make a me nā ʻeha) i nā pūʻali koa US e hāʻule nui aʻe i ka wā e noʻonoʻo ʻia ai ka make ʻole.
Hiki iaʻu ke hōʻike i kēia me kahi helu aʻu i hoʻohana ai ma mua mai ke kaua ma Vietnam.
ʻO nā pūʻali koa US i hana i ka 1.6% o ka poʻe e make ana, akā ʻo ko lākou ʻeha ma luna o nā kiʻiʻoniʻoni US e pili ana i ke kaua, ua ʻeha maoli lākou e like me ka mea i hōʻike ʻia. Ua pepehi ʻia nā tausani o ka poʻe kahiko mai ia manawa mai. Akā e noʻonoʻo i ke ʻano o ka nui o ka ʻeha i hana ʻia, ʻoiai no nā kānaka wale nō, me ka nānā ʻole ʻana i nā ʻano ʻē aʻe a pau i hoʻopilikia ʻia. ʻO ka Vietnam Memorial ma Wakinekona DC he 58,000 mau inoa ma 150 mika o ka pā. He 387 mau inoa no ka mika. No ka hoʻopaʻa inoa like ʻana i 4 miliona mau inoa e pono ai he 10,336 mika, a i ʻole ka mamao mai ka Lincoln Memorial a i nā ʻanuʻu o ka US Capitol, a hoʻi hou, a hoʻi hou i ke Kapitola, a laila hoʻi e like me nā hale hōʻikeʻike āpau akā kū pōkole. o ka Hale Hoomanao o Wasinetona.
E noʻonoʻo ʻoe i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka 3 a i ʻole 5. Ua hāʻule ka pākēneka o ʻAmelika i kahi hapa liʻiliʻi o 1% o ka make ma ka luku ʻana i hoʻokahi ʻaoʻao.
ʻOiaʻiʻo ke kau nei kēia i nā ʻōlelo hoʻopailua e ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o ka make ʻana o ka pū o US ma mua o ka make ma nā kaua US a i ʻole ʻo ke kaua US make loa ʻo ke Kaua Kivila US. ʻO ka helu helu, kokoke i nā make āpau i nā kaua US - me nā kaua proxy US ʻaʻole i kūkākūkā ʻia ma aneʻi - he make ʻole ʻo US.
E noʻonoʻo ʻoe e hoʻokomo i nā make kaua āpau, pololei a pololei ʻole, i loko o ka pā hoʻomanaʻo hoʻokahi. E hele ana paha ia i ka ʻāina.
No ka noʻonoʻo nui aʻe ma hope o ka manawa, e ʻike https://davidswanson.org/warlist
