Musakondwerere Tsiku la Veterans - chifukwa cha zomwe zakhalapo, ndipo makamaka chifukwa cha zomwe zidatengedwera ndi kuchotsa chikhalidwe cha US.

Purezidenti wakale wa American Humanist Association a Kurt Vonnegut nthawi ina adalemba kuti: “Tsiku la Armistice linali lopatulika. Tsiku la Veterans ayi. Chifukwa chake ndidzaponyera Tsiku la Omenyera Nkhondo paphewa langa. Tsiku la Armistice ndilisunga. Sindikufuna kutaya zinthu zopatulika zilizonse. ” Vonnegut amatanthauza "wopatulika" wodabwitsa, wamtengo wapatali, wofunika kuyamikiridwa. Adalemba Romeo ndi Juliet ndi nyimbo ngati "zopatulika" zinthu.

Nthawi yeniyeni ya 11th ya 11th tsiku la mwezi wa 11th, mu 1918, zaka za 100 zapitazo November uyu akubwera 11th, anthu a ku Ulaya mwadzidzidzi anasiya kuwombera mfuti wina ndi mnzake. Mpakana nthawi imeneyo, iwo anali kupha ndi kutenga zipolopolo, kugwa ndi kufuula, kudandaula ndi kufa, kuchokera ku zipolopolo ndi mpweya wa poizoni. Kenaka anasiya, pa 11: 00 m'mawa, zaka zana zapitazo. Iwo anaima, panthawi yake. Sizinali kuti iwo adatopa kapena kubwera ku malingaliro awo. Zina ndi pambuyo pa 11 koloko iwo amangotsatira malamulo. Chipangano cha Armytice chomwe chinathetsa nkhondo yoyamba ya padziko lapansi chinakhazikitsa 11 koloko ngati kusiya nthawi, chisankho chomwe chinapangitsa amuna ena a 11,000 kuti aphedwe m'maola a 6 pakati pa mgwirizano ndi nthawi yoikika.

Koma ora lomwelo m'zaka zapitazi, mphindi imeneyo ya mapeto a nkhondo yomwe imayenera kuthetsa nkhondo yonse, mphindi imeneyo yomwe inachititsa kuti pakhale phwando lachimwemwe padziko lonse lapansi ndi kubwezeretsanso zina ngati zonyansa, anakhala nthawi ya chete, wa belu ukulira, kukumbukira, ndi kudzipatulira nokha kuthetsa nkhondo zonse. Icho chinali chomwe Tsiku la Armistice linali. Sikunali chikondwerero cha nkhondo kapena cha iwo amene amatha nawo nawo nkhondo, koma panthawi yomwe nkhondo inali itatha.

Congress inadutsa chisankho cha Tsiku la Armistice mu 1926 kufuna "zochitika zomwe zimapangitsa kuti mtendere ukhale ndi mtendere ndi chidziwitso ... kuitana anthu a ku United States kusunga tsiku kumasukulu ndi mipingo ndi machitidwe abwino a ubale ndi anthu ena onse." Pambuyo pake, Congress inanenanso kuti November 11th iyenera kukhala "tsiku loperekedwa chifukwa cha mtendere wa padziko lonse."

Tilibe maholide ambiri odzipatulira mtendere kuti tikhoza kusunga imodzi. Ngati dziko la United States linakakamizidwa kuti lizitha kupha nsomba, zikanakhala ndi ambirimbiri osankha, koma maholide amtendere samangokula pamtengo. Tsiku la Amayi lakhala lokutanthauzira tanthauzo lake loyambirira. Martin Luther King Tsiku wapangidwa mozungulira caricature yomwe imasiya kulimbikitsa mtendere. Tsiku la Armistice, komabe, likubwereranso.

Tsiku la Armistice, ngati tsiku lolimbana ndi nkhondo, linakhala ku United States kudutsa mu 1950s komanso ngakhale patali m'mayiko ena pansi pa dzina la Remembrance Day. Pambuyo pa dziko la United States, dziko la United States litangoyamba kuwononga dziko la Japan, linapha Korea, linayambitsa Cold War, linakhazikitsa CIA, ndipo inakhazikitsanso malo ogwira ntchito zogwira ntchito zankhondo ndi mabungwe akuluakulu padziko lonse lapansi, kuti boma la US linatchedwanso Armistice Day monga Tsiku la Veterans pa June 1, 1954.

Tsiku la Veterans sichilinso, chifukwa cha anthu ambiri, tsiku loti adzasangalale kutha kwa nkhondo kapena ngakhale kuti akukhutira kuthetsa kwake. Tsiku la Veterans sali tsiku limene liyenera kulira akufa kapena kukayikira chifukwa kudzipha ndikumenyana ndi asilikali a US kapena chifukwa chake adani ambiri alibe nyumba. Tsiku la Veterans silitchulidwa kuti ndi phwando la nkhondo. Koma machaputala a Otsutsa a Mtendere amaletsedwa m'mizinda ing'onoing'ono ndi yaikulu, chaka ndi chaka, kuchokera kumalo otetezera tsiku la Veterans, chifukwa chakuti amatsutsa nkhondo. Tsiku la Veterans ndi zochitika m'mizinda yambiri ikuyamika nkhondo, komanso pafupifupi kutamanda nawo nkhondo. Pafupifupi zochitika za Tsiku la Veterans Day ndizokonda dziko. Ambiri amalimbikitsa "maubwenzi abwino ndi anthu ena onse" kapena amagwira ntchito kukhazikitsa "mtendere padziko lonse."

Ndilo tsiku lachiwombankhanga limene Pulezidenti Donald Trump adalonjeza kuti zida zankhondo zikuluzikulu za m'misewu ya Washington, DC - zokhudzana ndi chisangalalo zinachotsedweratu atatsutsidwa ndi otsutsa komanso osakhudzidwa ndi anthu, mauthenga, kapena asilikali.

Veterans For Peace, omwe ndikuyang'anira uphungu wa ndondomeko, ndi World BEYOND War, zomwe ine ndikuyang'anira, ndi mabungwe awiri omwe amalimbikitsa kubwezeretsa tsiku la Armistice, ndikuthandiza magulu ndi anthu kupeza zofunikira zogwira zochitika za tsiku la Armistice.

Mu chikhalidwe chimene aphungu ndi ma TV omwe alibe chinyengo cha kuwonetserako ndi kuwuza ku sukulu, ndibwino kuti titsimikize kuti kukana tsiku la chikondwerero cha ankhondo si chinthu chofanana ndi kukhazikitsa tsiku la kudana ndi adani. Ndipotu, monga momwe tafotokozera pano, njira yobwezeretsa tsiku lachikondwerero cha mtendere. Amzanga a ine mu Veterans For Peace akhala akutsutsa kwa zaka makumi ambiri kuti njira yabwino yotumikira akakhondo ndi kusiya kusiya zambiri.

Chifukwa chake, polekezera kupanga zida zankhondo zambiri, zimatsutsidwa ndi mabodza a nkhondo, ndi kutsutsana kuti munthu angathe ndipo ayenera "kuthandizira asilikali" - zomwe nthawi zambiri zimatanthauza kuthandizira nkhondo, koma zomwe sizikhoza kutanthawuza mosavuta kanthu amakulira ku tanthauzo lake labwino.

Chofunikira, ndithudi, ndiko kulemekeza ndi kukonda aliyense, asilikali kapena ayi, koma kusiya kulemba nawo mbali pakupha anthu ambiri - zomwe zimatipweteka, zimatipweteka, zimawononga zachilengedwe, zimathetsa ufulu wathu, zimayambitsa kukana nkhanza komanso tsankho, tsankho chiwonongeko cha nyukiliya, ndi kufooketsa lamulo la malamulo - monga mtundu wina wa "utumiki." Nkhondoyo iyenera kulira kapena kudandaula, osati kuyamikiridwa.

Chiwerengero chachikulu cha iwo omwe "amapereka miyoyo yawo chifukwa cha dziko lawo" lerolino ku United States amachita zimenezi mwa kudzipha. Boma la Veterans Administration lakhala litanena kwa zaka zambiri kuti njira yabwino kwambiri yodzipha ndikumenyera kumlandu. Simudzawona zomwe zalengezedwa m'mabwalo ambiri a tsiku la Veterans Day. Koma ndi chinthu chomwe chimamvetsetsedwa ndi kayendedwe kowonjezereka kuti athetseratu bungwe lonse la nkhondo.

Nkhondo Yadziko Yonse, Nkhondo Yaikulu (yomwe ndimatenga kuti ikhale yabwino kwambiri kufupi ndi kupanga America Great Again Again), inali nkhondo yomaliza imene njira zina zomwe anthu amalankhulana ndi kuganizira za nkhondo zinali zoona. Kuphedwa kumeneku kunachitika makamaka m'nkhondo. Akufa anaposa ovulalawo. Asilikali omwe anaphedwa anali oposa ambiri. Mbali ziwirizi sizinali, chifukwa cha mbali zambiri, zankhondo ndi makampani omwewo a zida. Nkhondo inali yovomerezeka. Ndipo anthu ambiri anzeru adakhulupirira kuti nkhondoyo ili modzipereka ndikusintha maganizo awo. Zonsezi zapita ndi mphepo, kaya tikufuna kuvomereza kapena ayi.

Nkhondo tsopano iphedwa pambali, makamaka kuchokera mlengalenga, moletsedwa mosavomerezeka, palibe mabwalo amkhondo m'maso - nyumba zokha. Ovulalawa amaposa akufa, koma palibe mankhwala omwe apangidwa chifukwa cha mabala a m'maganizo. Malo omwe zida zimapangidwira ndipo malo omwe nkhondo zimayendetsedwa sizikhalapo pang'ono. Nkhondo zambiri zimakhala ndi zida za US - ndipo ena ali ndi omenyera nkhondo a US - pambali zambiri. Ambiri mwa akufa ndi ovulala ndi azisankho, monga momwe amachitira zowawa komanso omwe alibe pokhala. Ndipo mauthenga omwe amagwiritsa ntchito kulimbikitsa nkhondo iliyonse ali ochepa kwambiri pamene 100 wazaka zapitazo amanena kuti nkhondo ikhoza kuthetsa nkhondo. Mtendere ukhoza kuthetsa nkhondo, koma pokhapokha ngati timayamikira ndikuikumbukira.
