ʻO kēia ka manawa no ke kuleana no ka papahana drone pepehi kanaka US. No nā makahiki he nui e luku nei ka US i nā makaʻāinana hewa ʻole, me nā kamaʻāina US, ma Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Mali a ʻo wai ka mea ʻike i kahi ʻē aʻe. ʻAʻole i hoʻokolokolo ʻia kekahi kanaka i ka pūʻali koa no kēia mau hana kolohe. Ma kahi, ʻo whistleblower ʻo Daniel Hale e noho ana i ka hale paʻahao me ka hoʻopaʻi he 45 mahina.
ʻO ʻAukake 29, 2021 make o nā kānaka kīnā ʻole he ʻumi, me nā keiki ʻehiku, i kahi hui ʻohana ma ke kaona ʻo Kabul, Afghanistan e kahi missile ahi i hoʻokuʻu ʻia mai kahi pūʻali koa US i lawe i ka papahana pepehi kanaka US i mua o ka lehulehu. ʻO nā kiʻi o nā paia i hoʻokahe ʻia i ke koko a me ka Toyota keʻokeʻo mangled i loko o ka hui ʻohana ma Kabul i noho nui ʻia ua loaʻa ka nānā kupaianaha ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia i nā makahiki he 15 o nā kuʻi drone i nā wahi kaʻawale kahi mau haneli o ka poʻe i hele i nā hoʻolewa a me nā ʻahaʻaina male i luku ʻia.
Ma Kabul, ua alualu ka pūʻali koa US i kahi Toyota keʻokeʻo no 8 mau hola ʻoiai ʻo Zemari Ahmadi, he limahana lōʻihi o ka US based Nutrition & Education International, hele a puni ʻo Kabul i kāna hana o kēlā me kēia lā no kahi hui kōkua kanaka US. Ke ʻimi nei ka pūʻali koa US i kahi mea no ka hoʻopaʻi a me ka hoʻopaʻi no ka hoʻouka pepehi kanaka ISIS-K ma ka Hamid Karzai International Airport i luku ʻia he haneli o nā Afghans a me 13 pūʻali koa US.
No ʻekolu mau pule ma hope o ka hoʻouka kaua ʻana i luku i ka ʻumi ma Kabul, ua hoʻāpono ke alakaʻi kiʻekiʻe o ka pūʻali koa US i ka make ʻana ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana ua hoʻopakele ke kuʻikahi drone i nā ola mai kahi pōkā pepehi kanaka ISIS. ʻO ka luna o ka Joint Chiefs Milley i kuhi i ka drone strike me he "pono."
ʻO ka hope, ma hope ka noiʻi nui e New York Times ʻO nā mea kūkala nūhou, ma Kepakemapa 17, 2021, ua ʻae ʻo General Kenneth McKenzie, ka luna o ka US Central Command ua pepehi ka drone i nā kānaka kīnā ʻole he ʻumi. "He kuhi hewa kēlā ... a naʻu nō ke kuleana piha no kēia kipi a me ka hopena pōʻino."
I kēia manawa, i ka Pōʻaono, Kepakemapa 19, hiki mai ka nūhou ua aʻo ka CIA aia he mau makaʻāinana i ka wahi i hopu ʻia.
Ke kūʻē nei nā mea hoʻonāukiuki i nā kahua drone pepehi kanaka US no XNUMX mau makahiki i hala ma Nevada, Kaleponi, New York, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin a me Kelemānia.
I kēia manawa e hoʻohui mākou iā Hawaiʻi, 2560 mile mai kekahi ʻāina nui, i ka papa inoa e hui pū ai ka pūʻali koa ʻōpio me nā poʻe ʻē aʻe i ka pūʻali koa US e lilo i poʻe pepehi kanaka. ʻElua o nā drones mea pepehi kanaka ʻeono ua hōʻea i ka pule i hala ma ka US Marine Base ma Kaneohe, Oʻahu, Hawaii. ʻO ke kahua pūʻali koa US hou e kūkulu i nā mea pepehi kanaka ma Guam, kahi e hoʻolālā ʻia e loaʻa i ʻeono mau drones Reaper.
E hoʻokau paha ka pūʻali koa US i ke kaulahao o ke kauoha i ʻae ʻia e kī ʻia nā missile ahi i make he ʻumi mau makaʻāinana hewa ʻole.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo General McKenzie i ka hopena, he kuleana ʻo ia-no laila e uku ʻia ʻo ia me ka pepehi kanaka a me nā mea i lalo i ka pailaka drone nāna i huki i ka mea hoʻohuna i ka missile Hellfire.
Ma ka liʻiliʻi he ʻumi mau pūʻali koa US ma ke kaulahao o ka ʻaha i hewa no ka make ʻana o nā kānaka kīnā ʻole he ʻumi.
Pono lākou e hoʻopiʻi ʻia me ka pepehi kanaka. Inā ʻaʻole lākou, a laila e hoʻomau ka pūʻali koa US i ka luku ʻana i nā makaʻāinana kīnā ʻole me ka hoʻopaʻi ʻole ʻia.
E pili ana i ka mea kākau: Ua lawelawe ʻo Ann Wright i nā makahiki 29 ma ka US Army / Army Resares a ua hoʻomaha ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he kolone. He diplomat ʻo ia no 16 mau makahiki. Ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ke aupuni US ma 2003 i ke kūʻē ʻana i ke kaua US ma ʻIraka. ʻO ia ka mea kākau o "Dissent: Leo o ka Manaʻo Manaʻo."
