Osayika Akupha M'mabokosi A Cereal

Kampeni zopempha zapaintaneti zidakhazikitsidwa sabata ino kuti aletse Wal-Mart kugulitsa zovala za msirikali waku Israeli pa Halowini ndikupeza phala la Wheaties kuti ayambe kuyika asitikali aku US pamabokosi ake a chimanga - mabokosi odziwika ndi zithunzi za othamanga odziwika bwino.

Makampeni awiriwa alibe ubale wina ndi mnzake. Wheaties, monga momwe ndikudziwira, sanasonyeze chidwi chochepa chochita zomwe pempholo likupempha kuti lichite.

Ndikufuna Wal-Mart ndi sitolo ina iliyonse kuti asiye kugulitsa zonse (osati Israeli) zankhondo ndi mtundu uliwonse wa zida zankhondo, zakupha, kuphatikiza zopeka zamtsogolo. Star Nkhondo ndi wina aliyense. Zedi, ndi vuto linalake kuti boma la US limapatsa Israeli mabiliyoni a madola mu zida zaulere chaka chilichonse kuti aziukira anthu wamba, komanso omwe akufuna kukhala pulezidenti ku United States. makhalidwe ngati akupanga kampeni kuti aimire Israeli. Koma ngati mumatsutsa kukondwerera kuphana, kuphatikizapo kupha anthu ovala yunifolomu ovomerezeka ndi boma, ndiye kuti mumatsutsa zonse zomwe zimakhazikika ndikuzilimbikitsa.

Choncho, ndithudi, ndimatsutsanso kulemekeza "asilikali athu" pamabokosi a phala. Chifukwa chimodzi, chimagwirizanitsa lingaliro la wothamanga ndi lingaliro la msilikali (omwe ndimagwiritsa ntchito pano ngati shorthand kwa oyendetsa sitima, Marine, airman, drone pilot, mercenary, special force, etc., etc.). Wothamanga samapha aliyense, kuvulaza aliyense, kusandutsa nyumba ya aliyense kukhala bwinja, kuzunza ana aliwonse, kugwetsa boma la aliyense, kugwetsa chipwirikiti chilichonse padziko lapansi, kutulutsa magulu achiwawa omwe amadana ndi dziko langa, kukhetsa chuma chaboma $1,000,000,000,000. chaka, kulungamitsa kuchotsa ufulu wachibadwidwe m'dzina lankhondo zaufulu, kuwononga chilengedwe, kugwetsa napalm kapena phosphorous yoyera, kugwiritsa ntchito DU, kutsekera anthu m'ndende popanda mlandu, kuzunza, kapena kutumiza zoponya ku maukwati ndi zipatala kupha munthu wosadziwika bwino. anthu 10 aliwonse amaphedwa. Wothamanga amasewera masewera.

Dziwani kuti sindikufunanso kuti tiike magulu ankhondo m'mabokosi a tirigu okhala ndi nyanga za mdierekezi zolembedwa pamitu yawo, kuwaimba mlandu chifukwa cha zolakwa za gulu lonse lomwe adabadwira. Zedi, ine ndikuwadzudzula iwo. Ndithudi, ndikanakonda kukondwerera anthu okana usilikali chifukwa cha zimene amakhulupirira. Koma pali kusokonekera kwapadziko lonse pachikhalidwe chathu komwe kumapangitsa kuti munthu akamaimba mlandu wina pazifukwa zina, amachotsa wina aliyense. Chifukwa chake, ngakhale sizomveka, anthu amatanthauzira kutsutsa msilikali chifukwa chomenya nawo nkhondo ngati osaimba mlandu apurezidenti, mamembala a Congress, ofalitsa, opindula, ndi ena onse omwe adathandizira kuti nkhondoyi ichitike. M'malo mwake, kulakwa ndi kuchulukirachulukira, ndipo aliyense amapeza, kuphatikiza ine. Koma m’dziko longopeka limene tikukhalamo, sungayende modzudzula aliyense pa chinachake chimene anthu ambiri achita, pokhapokha mutaloledwa ndime yofotokoza. Ndipo, kuonjezera apo, ndikadayamba ndi apulezidenti onse, mamembala a Congress, ndi ena otero, ngati zigawenga zankhondo ndisanafike paudindo uliwonse pamndandanda wa omwe akufuna kutsutsidwa m'bokosi la phala.

Komanso, “asilikali athu,” si asilikali athu, osati gulu. Ambiri aife timavotera motsutsa, kudandaula, kutsutsa, kutsutsa, ndikukonzekera motsutsana ndi kugwiritsidwa ntchito ndi kukula ndi kukhalapo kwa asilikali. Wina akukhumba kuti zikanakhala zosafunikira kunena, koma izi sizikusonyeza chidani chamtundu wina kwa anthu omwe ali asilikali, omwe ambiri amati kuchepa kwachuma ndi chimodzi mwa zifukwa zazikulu zomwe adalowa nawo, ndipo ambiri a iwo amakhulupirira zomwe iwo ali. anawauza za kuchitira zabwino malo omwe amawaukira. Komanso kutsutsa zankhondo sikutanthauza kuchirikiza kopotoka kwa gulu lankhondo la dziko lina kapena gulu lina. Tangoganizani kuti simukonda mpira ndiyeno mukudzudzulidwa chifukwa chothandizira ena ena timu ya mpira. Kutsutsa nkhondo ndi njira yomweyo - zikutanthauza nkhondo yotsutsana, osati kutsata "gulu" lotsutsidwa ndi wina.

"Timu" ndi fanizo lowopsya la asilikali. Asilikali atha kuphatikizira kugwirira ntchito limodzi, koma patha zaka XNUMX kuchokera pamene nkhondo idakhudza magulu awiri omwe akupikisana pabwalo lankhondo. M’nkhondo yachiŵiri ya padziko lonse ndi chiyambire pamenepo, nkhondo zakhala zikumenyedwa m’matauni a anthu, ndipo ophedwa ambiri ndi anthu wamba amene sanalembetse m’timu iliyonse. Pamene magulu ngati a Veterans For Peace amatsutsana ndi kutenga nawo mbali kunkhondo, chifukwa chakuti nkhondo ndi yosayenera, yopha amuna, akazi, ndi ana, amatero chifukwa chokonda asilikali ndi omwe angakhale asilikali amtsogolo. Inde, omenyera nkhondo ena ambiri sakhulupirira zimenezo, kapena samachilankhula mokweza kapena poyera ngati akutero. Mwina sichigwirizana ndi chakuti chomwe chimayambitsa imfa ya asitikali aku US omwe adatumizidwa kunkhondo zaposachedwa komanso zaposachedwa ndi kudzipha. Ndi mawu ozama kwambiri otani omwe anganenedwe kuposa pamenepo? Kodi ndinganene chiyani kuti ndifikeko?

Nawa mawu a pempho lolimbikitsa kuyika ankhondo pamabokosi a phala:

"Bokosi la Wheaties ndi chithunzi chodziwika bwino ku America. Imakondwerera zabwino zathu, zowala kwambiri, komanso omwe apeza ulemu wapamwamba pamasewera othamanga. Kodi si nthawi yolemekeza gulu lina la ngwazi zaku America? Asilikali athu omwe adatumikira dziko lawo ndikupereka zonse, akuyenera kulandira ulemu wofanana ndi wa othamanga athu apamwamba. "

M'malo mwake luntha lathu lowala komanso lopanga zambiri sililemekezedwa nkomwe pa Wheaties. Ngakhalenso ozimitsa moto ndi akazi, ogwira ntchito zadzidzidzi, osamalira zachilengedwe, aphunzitsi athu, ana athu, olemba ndakatulo athu, akazembe athu, alimi athu, ojambula athu, ochita zisudzo ndi zisudzo. Ayi. Ndi othamanga okha. Ngati mukuganiza kuti asitikali akuyenera kulemekezedwa, ndiye kuti sichoncho. momwemonso monga othamanga. Nanga bwanji za ife amene timavomerezana ndi Purezidenti Kennedy (“Nkhondo idzakhalapo mpaka tsiku lakutalilo pamene wokana usilikali chifukwa cha chikumbumtima adzakhala ndi mbiri yofanana ndi imene wankhondoyo ali nayo lerolino”) — Kodi ifenso tiyenera kutenga ngwazi zathu pamabokosi a phala?

"Tangoganizani kunyada kwadziko kuwona wolandila mendulo yaulemu ya DRM pa bokosi la Wheaties. General Mills, wopanga Wheaties wonyada, atha kupanga izi kukhala mwambo watsopano. Pafupi ndi nsembe zomwe ngwaziwa ndi mabanja awo apanga, ndi ulemu wawung'ono. Koma mu chikhalidwe chathu chotengera anthu otchuka, ukhoza kukhala mwambo watsopano womwe tonse titha kunyadira nawo. ”

Sizoona kuti tonse tinganyadire. Ena aife tingaganize kuti ndi fascist. Inde, tingasankhe kusagula phala limenelo, pamene Anderson Cooper ndi wina aliyense amene amanyoza anthu okana usilikali chifukwa cha chikumbumtima sangagule bokosi lililonse lolemekeza mwambo umenewo. Koma pempholi silikufuna kukakamiza Wheaties kulemekeza asitikali, ndikungovomereza. Chabwino, ine ndikungopangira zotsutsa izo.

"General Mills, tikukupemphani kuti muwonjezere ma servicemembers [sic] omwe alemekezedwa chifukwa cha ntchito yawo yapadera komanso kulimba mtima, pakusintha kwanu kwa omwe azindikirika pa Bokosi la Wheaties. Sitikuchita mokwanira kulemekeza omwe adatumikira, makamaka anthu omwe adapereka nsembe yomaliza pabwalo lankhondo. Ndipo ngakhale chithunzi chomwe chili pabokosi la phala sichingawoneke ngati chochuluka, ndi manja omwe amanena zambiri za zomwe timayamikira. Ndi mtundu wa machitidwe omwe timafunikira kuwona zikuchitika pafupipafupi. Tikukhulupirira kuti General Mills atiwonetsa kuti amuna ndi akaziwa ndi oyenera kuzindikira mtundu wawo wazithunzi. Chonde sainani ndikugawana pempho louza General Mills kuti ayike ngwazi zathu zolemekezeka zankhondo pabokosi lawo la Wheaties. "

Asilikali aku US amawononga ndalama zambiri pamisonkho yapagulu akudzitsatsa pamagalimoto othamanga komanso pamwambo wamasewera a mpira, ndi zina zotero. Akadakhala Wheaties kuti atengepo lingaliro ili ndikupindula nalo popereka malipiro ankhondo, izi zingakhale zoyipa mokwanira. Kuchita izo kwaulere kungakhale koipitsitsa. Koma sindikuganiza kuti asilikali angalipirire zimenezi. Asilikali amatsatsa gulu lankhondo lopanda nkhope, osati msirikali weniweni. Omenyera nkhondo ambiri amasiyidwa ndi asitikali, amaletsedwa chithandizo chamankhwala, amasiyidwa opanda pokhala, ndipo - kachiwiri - nthawi zambiri amayenera kudzipha.

Panthawi ya nkhondo ku Vietnam, omwe adalandira mendulo zaulemu, adawabweza mokwiya, kukana zomwe adakhalamo. Ngwazi yeniyeni yeniyeni yankhondo ingachite zimenezo. Ndiyeno Tirigu akanakhala kuti?

Nthaŵi ina m’zaka zaposachedwapa asilikali anayesa kulemekeza msilikali wina wa thupi ndi mwazi, ndipo panthaŵi imodzimodziyo kugwirizanitsa chifaniziro chake ndi cha othamanga. Dzina la msilikaliyo linali Pat Tillman. Anali katswiri wa mpira ndipo adasiya mgwirizano wa mpira wa madola mamiliyoni ambiri kuti alowe usilikali ndikuchita ntchito yake yokonda dziko lake kuteteza dziko ku zigawenga zoipa. Anali gulu lenileni lankhondo lodziwika bwino lankhondo la US, ndipo katswiri wazowonera pawailesi yakanema Ann Coulter adamuyitana "waku America - waukoma, wangwiro, ndi wamphongo monga mwamuna wa ku America yekha angakhale."

Kupatula kuti sanakhulupirirenso nkhani zomwe zinamupangitsa kuti alembetse, ndipo Ann Coulter anasiya kumutamanda. Pa September 25, 2005, a San Francisco Chronicle Adanenanso kuti Tillman adatsutsa nkhondo ya Iraq ndipo adakonza zokumana ndi wotsutsa wotchuka Noam Chomsky kuti achitike akabwera kuchokera ku Afghanistan, zonse zomwe Tillman adalemba.'amayi a ndi Chomsky pambuyo pake adatsimikizira. Tillman sakanakhoza't ndikutsimikizira chifukwa adamwalira ku Afghanistan mu 2004 kuchokera ku zipolopolo zitatu kupita pamphumi patali, zipolopolo zomwe zinawomberedwa ndi American.

A White House ndi asitikali adadziwa kuti Tillman wamwalira ndi zomwe zimatchedwa moto waubwenzi, koma zabodza adauza atolankhani kuti.'d anafa m’kusinthanitsa kwaudani. Akuluakulu a Gulu Lankhondo amadziwa zowona koma adavomereza kupereka Tillman Silver Star, Purple Heart, ndi kukwezedwa pambuyo pakufa, zonse kutengera kufa kwake kumenyana ndi mdani. Mosakayikira akanavomerezanso chithunzi chake cha bokosi la Wheaties.

Ndiyeno kodi kampeni ya Wheaties yothokoza-wankhondo ikadakhala kuti pomwe chowonadi chokhudza imfa ya Tillman ndi chowonadi chokhudza malingaliro a Tillman chidatuluka? Ndikunena: Tirigu, musaike pachiwopsezo. Pentagon sinaike pachiwopsezo kuyambira Tillman. Akuluakulu ake (McChrystal, Petraeus) amakopa zowunikira ndikudzichititsa manyazi. Palibe magulu ankhondo omwe amaperekedwa ngati "mafayilo". Amangogwiritsidwa ntchito kulungamitsa kuwononga ndalama zambiri "kwa ankhondo" omwe amapita kwa opindula zida osati gulu limodzi.

Lingaliro la magazi silimayenderana ndi phala la kadzutsa, Wheaties, ndipo ngakhale lingaliro lakuti lingaliro ili linachokera kwinakwake m'dziko lino ndilokwanira kundipangitsa kuti ndikhale ndi nseru pang'ono.
