Takunena kuti "zomangamanga zankhondo" zimapangidwa mozungulira kwambiri. Koma zoona zake ndizakuti United States amatha pafupifupi pa nkhondo monga dziko lonse liphatikizira. Asitikali aku America ali m'maiko pafupifupi 150 kuzungulira 800 asitikali akunja; Palibe amene akuwoneka kuti akudziwa zenizeni. Kutengera ndi tanthauzo lomwe lidagwiritsidwa ntchito, United States yakhala ili pankhondo mpaka zaka 227 za mbiri yake yazaka 244.

Nkhondo yosatha, mwachidziwikire, imafuna kusefukira kwamphamvu kwa ankhondo, kupereka ufulu wawo, chitetezo ndi magazi pofunafuna ufumu. Asitikali amenewa amadziwika kuti ndi ngwazi, ndipo maphwando ndi miyambo yosiyanasiyana ku America kuti "alemekeze" ndi "kuchitira sawatcha" antchito. Koma atalembetsa, ambiri, ntchitoyo siziwoneka ngati yapamwamba. Zankhanza za ntchitoyi - kutumizidwa padziko lonse lapansi kuti iphe - zimabweretsa mavuto. Zokha peresenti 17 Omwe akugwira ntchito yankhondo sazungulira kwa nthawi yayitali kuti athe kulandira penshoni iliyonse. Ndipo akangochokapo, nthawi zambiri amakhala ndi mabala owopsa amthupi komanso m'maganizo, amakhala ali okha kuti athane ndi vutoli.

Zotsatira za nkhondo yokhazikika ndi mliri wopitilira wazaka zodzipha za anthu omwe amadzipha. Malinga ndi dipatimenti ya Veterans Affairs (VA), ankhondo aku America 6 amadzipha chaka chilichonse - kuchuluka pafupifupi ola limodzi. Asitikali ochulukirapo amafa ndi manja awo kuposa pomenya nawo nkhondo. Chiyambireni mu 7,000, Veterans Callen Line yayankha pafupifupi miliyoni 4.4 imayimba pamutu.

Kuti mumvetsetse zodabwitsa, Chizindikiro adalankhula ndi David Swanson, Executive Director wa World Beyond War.

"Veterans mosasamala akuvutika ndi kuvulala kwakuthupi, kuphatikizapo kuvulala kwa ubongo, ndi kuvulala pamakhalidwe, PTSD, komanso kusowa kwa chiyembekezo cha ntchito. Zinthu zonsezi zimapangitsa kuti anthu azikhala opanda pokhala. Zonsezi zimathandizira kukhumudwa komanso mavuto. Ndipo zimayambitsa kudzipha zikaphatikizika ndi chinthu china chomwe akatswiri wamba sangathe: kupeza ndi kudziwa mfuti, ”adatero.

Kudzipha ndi mfuti ndizotheka kuchita bwino kuposa njira zina monga poizoni kapena kuperewera. Chiwerengerochi kuchokera ku VA zikuwonetsa kuti ochepera theka la omwe sanamenyedwe ndi odzipha omwe ali ndi mfuti, koma opitilira theka la azimayi omwe amagwiritsa ntchito mfuti amagwiritsa ntchito mfuti kuti atenge moyo wawo.

"Zomwe VA, ndi kafukufuku wina komanso kafukufuku wasonyeza, ndikuti pali kulumikizana mwachindunji pakati pa nkhondo ndi kudzipha kwa omenyera nkhondo ndipo kuti nkhani zakudziimba mlandu, kudzanong'oneza bondo, kuchita manyazi, ndi zina zambiri zimachitika kangapo konse m'maphunziro awa a veterans. Maulalo amakhalapo pakati pamavuto owopsa aubongo, PTSD ndi zina zokhudzana ndiumoyo wodzipha pomenyera nkhondoyi, koma chizindikiro chachikulu chodzipha mu nkhondoyi chikuwoneka kuti chikuvulaza, kutanthauza kudziimba mlandu, manyazi, ndi kudzanong'oneza bondo "atero a Matthew Hoh, wakale wakale onse Afghanistan ndi Iraq. Mu 2009, adasiya udindo wake ndi dipatimenti ya Boma posonyeza kuti ku Afghanistan kuli nkhondo. Hoh wakhala lotseguka za kulimbana ndi malingaliro ofuna kudzipha kuyambira pomwe wachoka.

Kupha sikubwera mwachilengedwe kwa anthu. Ngakhale kugwira ntchito pamalo ophera nyama, pomwe antchito amapha nyama zambirimbiri, zimavutitsa kwambiri malingaliro, ntchito ndi likugwirizana Ku ma PTSD okwera kwambiri, ogwirira ntchito zapakhomo ndi nkhani za mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Koma palibe maphunziro azankhondo omwe angalandire anthu ku zowawa zakupha anthu ena. Tsamba limafotokoza kuti mumakhala nthawi yayitali bwanji pantchito zankhondo komanso nthawi yochulukirapo m'malo omenyera nkhondo, ndikoyenera kuti mtsogolo mudzadzipha. Monga kachilombo, mukakhala kuti mukukumana ndi nkhondo, nthawi zambiri mumatha kutenga matenda a kukhumudwa, PTSD komanso kudzipha. Pakuwoneka kuti palibe chotsimikizika chodalirika, kupewa kokha.

Ngakhale omenyera zachimuna ali ndi mwayi wodzipha okha kuposa amuna omwe sanatumikirepo, omenyera azimayi amakhala ndi mwayi wodzipha kawiri konse (kusiyana pakati pa veteran ndi omwe sanamenyedwe nawo kunali kwakukulu, koma phompho kukwera odzipha ku America kwachepetsa ziwonetserozo). Hoh akuwonetsa kuti zomwe zikuthandizazi zitha kukhala kuchuluka kwambiri kwa kugwiriridwa ndi kuzunzidwa pogonana. Ziwerengero zikudabwitsadi: kafukufuku wa Pentagon apezeka kuti 10 peresenti ya azimayi ogwira ntchito amagwiriridwa, ndipo enanso 13 peresenti anagonana ndi ena. Ziwerengerozi ndizogwirizana ndi kafukufuku wa dipatimenti ya chitetezo cha 2012 kuti anapeza kuti pafupifupi theka la azimayi ogwira ntchito anali atachitiridwapo zachipongwe kamodzi pa ntchito.

Kuyenda Dead

Vala wopanda nyumba wakhala wakhalidwe labwino mu moyo waku America ndi gulu kwazaka zopitilira. Ngakhale VA amati kuchuluka kwawo kukucheperachepera, akuti 37,085 Achikulire adakumanabe ndi kusowa pokhala mu Januware 2019, nthawi yomaliza chiwerengerocho chidawerengedwa. "Ndikuganiza kuti nkhani zomwe zimadzetsa kudzipha kwa anthu wamba zimachititsanso kuti anthu asowa pokhala," atero Hoh, akunena kuti ambiri omwe amakhala otukuka mokhazikika, ogwirizana, omwe amayendetsedwa ndi magulu ngati ankhondo amakumana ndi zovuta zazikulu zodzipatula komanso kusowa kwina kapangidwe kamodzi kamakomoka. Ndipo kulimbana ndi zovuta zambiri zosazindikirika nokha kungakhale kovuta. Hoh adangopezeka ndi kuvulala koopsa muubongo komanso kudwala kwamitsempha mu 2016, patatha zaka zambiri atasiya gulu lankhondo.

"Asitikali amalemekeza mowa, zomwe zitha kuchititsa kuti azigwiritsa ntchito mankhwala osokoneza bongo pambuyo pake, ngakhale atayambitsa ntchito zabodza, alibe ntchito yabwino yopatsa anthu ambiri omwe alowa usilikali luso kapena ntchito yomwe ingagwiritsidwe ntchito atachoka usirikali," adauza Chizindikiro. "Anthu omwe ndi makina kapena oyendetsa magalimoto mu usirikali amapeza kuti akasiya usilikali ziyeneretso zawo ndikamaphunzitsidwa usirikali samasinthira kukhala ziphaso zakuphunzitsira, zilolezo kapena ziyeneretso. Izi zitha kuthandiza kupeza ntchito, "adatero, akuwanenetsa kuti gulu lankhondo lidayesetsa kuti zikhale zovuta kwa asitikali akale kusintha magwiridwe ankhondo kuti athandizidwe posunga ntchito.

Kulemala kumathandizanso kuti pakhale mwayi wosowa ntchito, zomwe zimawonjezera chiwopsezo chosowa pokhala. Pazonse, Hoh akuti, asitikali amachita ntchito yayikulu pakusintha ndikulanga achinyamata amitundu yonse, kuwaphunzitsa maluso ndi udindowu. "Koma mathero ake onse ndi kupha anthu." Pachifukwachi, amalimbikitsa achinyamata kuti azikhala ndi ludzu kuti adziwonetsere okha komanso kuti azichita nawo chidwi ndi ntchito yozimitsa moto kapena akhale osambira a Coast Guard.

Koma sikuti akuwombera miyendo kapena ali ndi ana kunkhondo, chifukwa sasamala. ”

Anachenjezanso omwe akumvetsera kwa omwe amayembekezera kuti abwerere ngati iye akabwerera:

Mukafika kunyumba ovulala, ovulala, okhumudwa, apita chiyani, kodi akuthandizani? Ayi. Adzakulangani, adzakusekani, akukwapulani. Atsogoleri andale awa awonetsa kuti sasamala ngati mutangodzikhomera mukabwerako. Samasamala ngati mupita kuthengo ndikudziwombera. Sakusamala ngati mungafikire mumisewu komwe kuno ku Skid Row. Atsimikizira kuti sasamala za moyo wathu ndipo alibe ufulu wolamulira chilichonse pamoyo wathu. "

Pa Januware 3, a Trump adalamula kuphedwa wa wamkulu wa Irani ndi mkulu wa boma Qassem Soleimani kudzera pa drone. Iran idayankha mwa kuwombera anthu angapo omwe adaponya zida za nkhondo ku US ku Iraq. Ngakhale nyumba yamalamulo ya Iraq idapereka chisankho chogwirizana chofuna kuti asitikali onse aku America achoke, mothandizidwa ndi chiwonetsero cha miliyoni 2.5 anthu ku Baghdad, US idalengeza kuti itumiza magulu ankhondo ambiri kumaderako, akumanga mabatani atatu atsopano m'malire a Iraq / Iran.
