Wokondedwa Mamembala a Senate Armed Services Committee,
Monga mabungwe ndi anthu odzipereka ku ufulu wachipembedzo ndi chikhulupiriro, ufulu wachibadwidwe ndi ufulu wa anthu, malamulo, ndi kufanana kwa onse, tikukulimbikitsani kuti muchotse Selective Service System (SSS) ndikukana kuyesayesa kulikonse kowonjezera azimayi mgululi zomwe zolembetsa zolembetsa zimayikidwa. Selective Service yakhala yolephera, yomwe idanenedwa kuti ndi "yopanda pake" pacholinga chomwe idanenedwa ndi director director wakale, a Dr. Bernard Rostker, ndikuwonjezera kulembetsa kwa Selective Service kwa amayi sikugwirizana kwenikweni.[1]
Dipatimenti Yachilungamo sinaweruze aliyense chifukwa cholephera kulembetsa kuyambira 1986, komabe Selective Service System yapereka chifukwa chomenyera - popanda njira - mamiliyoni a amuna omwe akana kapena kulephera kulembetsa kuyambira 1980.
Zilango zalamulo zolephera kulembetsa ndizotheka kwambiri: mpaka zaka zisanu m'ndende komanso chindapusa chofika $ 250,000. Koma mmalo mopatsa olakwira ufulu wawo wochita zinthu moyenera, boma kuyambira mu 1982, lidakhazikitsa malamulo owalanga kuti akakamize amuna kuti alembetse. Malamulowa amalamula osalembetsa kuti akwaniritsidwe izi:
- thandizo lazachuma ku ophunzira aku koleji[2];
- maphunziro aboma;
- ntchito ndi mabungwe akuluakulu aboma;
- Kukhala nzika za alendo.
Mayiko ambiri atsata ndi malamulo ofanana omwe amaletsa osalembetsa kupeza mwayi wopeza ntchito zaboma, mabungwe aboma a maphunziro apamwamba ndi thandizo la ophunzira, ndipo boma limapereka ziphaso ndi ma ID.
Zilango zopanda chilungamo zomwe zimaperekedwa kwa omwe sadzalembetsa zimapangitsa moyo kukhala wovuta kwambiri kwa ambiri omwe adasalidwa kale. Ngati lamulo lolembetsa liperekedwa kwa azimayi, momwemonso zilango zakusamvera. Mosalephera, azimayi achichepere adzajowina mamiliyoni a amuna m'dziko lonselo omwe akana kale mwayi wopeza mwayi, nzika, ziphaso zoyendetsa kapena makhadi ozindikiritsa omwe boma limapereka. Munthawi yakusintha zofunikira za "Voter ID", zomalizirazi zitha kuchititsa kuti anthu ambiri omwe adasiyidwa kale azikhala ndi ufulu wofunikira pakulankhula mwa demokalase: voti.
Mfundo yoti kupititsa patsogolo ntchito yolembetsa kwa amayi ndi njira yothandizira kuchepetsa kusankhana pakati pa amuna ndi akazi ndi yopanda tanthauzo. Sikuyimira kupita patsogolo kwa amayi; chikuyimira kubwerera mmbuyo, ndikupatsa atsikana mtolo wovuta womwe anyamata akhala akunyamula mopanda chilungamo kwazaka zambiri - cholemetsa chomwe palibe wachinyamata ayenera kunyamula konse. Kufanana kwa amayi sikuyenera kuchitidwa chifukwa chankhondo. Chododometsa kwambiri, mfundo iyi imalephera kuvomereza kapena kuthana ndi kufalikira kwa tsankho komanso nkhanza zakugonana[3] chimenecho ndicho chenicheni cha moyo wa akazi ambiri m’gulu lankhondo.
Pazonse zonena zawo zoteteza "ufulu wachipembedzo," United States yakhala ndi mbiri yakusalaza anthu achikhulupiriro komanso chikumbumtima omwe amakana kuchita nawo nkhondo ndikukonzekera nkhondo, kuphatikiza kulembetsa Service Selective. Zatsimikiziridwa ndi nthambi zonse za boma la US - Khothi Lalikulu, Purezidenti, ndi Congress - kuti cholinga chachikulu cholembetsa ndi Selective Service ndikutumiza uthenga kudziko lapansi kuti United States yakonzekera nkhondo yayikulu ku nthawi iliyonse. Muumboni wake ku HASC mu Meyi, a General Gen Joe Heck, wapampando wa Commission on Military, National, and Public Service (NCMNPS), adavomereza kuti ngakhale SSS silingakwaniritse cholinga chake cholemba mndandanda wazoyenera anthu, ntchito yake yabwino kwambiri ndi "kupatsa olemba ntchito ntchito zankhondo." Izi zikutanthauza kuti ngakhale kulembetsa kumachita mgwirizano ndi nkhondo ndipo ndikuphwanya chikumbumtima kwa anthu ambiri azikhalidwe ndi zikhulupiriro zosiyanasiyana. Palibe lamulo malinga ndi lamuloli loti zikhulupirire zipembedzo munthawi yomwe ikulembedwera Selective Service System. Izi ziyenera kusintha, ndipo njira yosavuta yokwaniritsira izi ndikuchotsa zofunikira zonse.
Pa Epulo 15, 2021, Senator Ron Wyden, ndi Senator Rand Paul, adayambitsa S 1139[4]. Ndalamayi ithetsa lamulo la Military Selective Service Act, ndikukhazikitsa lamulo lolembetsa aliyense, kwinaku ikuthetsa zilango zonse zoperekedwa ndi iwo omwe adakana kapena adalephera kulembetsa asadachotse. Iyenera kukhazikitsidwa kwathunthu ngati kusintha kwa NDAA. Makonzedwe aliwonse owonjezera Ntchito Yosankha Amayi ayenera kukanidwa.
Pamene dziko lathu likupitilizabe kuchira kuchokera ku mliri wa COVID-19, kumanganso ubale wathu pakati pa mayiko akunja, ndikugwiranso ntchito limodzi ndi omwe timagwira nawo ntchito padziko lonse lapansi kuti tithetse mavuto azanyengo pomaliza, timatero pansi paulamuliro watsopano, ndikumvetsetsa Zomwe chitetezo chenicheni chimatanthauza. Zoyesayesa zilizonse zolimbitsa mgwirizano wapadziko lonse ndikulimbikitsa kuthetsa mikangano mwamtendere ndi zokambirana ziyenera kuphatikizapo kuthetseratu zomwe zalembedwazo ndi zida zoyambitsa imodzi: Selective Service System.
Zikomo chifukwa choganizira zovuta izi. Chonde khalani omasuka kulumikizana ndi mafunso, mayankho, ndi zopempha zokambirana zambiri pankhaniyi.
