Komiti Yogwira Ntchito Zanyumba (HASC) kumva pa May 19 anamva kuchokera kwa mboni kumbali imodzi yokha ya mtsutso pa kuti athetse kulembetsa kapena kupititsa kwa atsikana komanso anyamata. Koma ngakhale gulu limodzi la mboni, mafunso ndi ndemanga za mamembala a Congress zidawunikira kulephera za kuyesa kosalekeza kwa amuna lembetsani kuti mudzalembetse gulu lankhondo lamtsogolo, ndi kusowa kwa njira iliyonse yotheka tsatirani tsogolo lankhondo la amuna kapena akazi.

Wapampando wa Komiti ya Utumiki wa Zida, Rep. Adam Smith (D-WA), adatsegula zokambiranazo pozindikira a mawu olembedwa ndi Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR). Rep. DeFazio ndi m'modzi mwa othandizira nawo oyambira wa bipartisan Selective Service Repeal Act ya 2021 (HR 2509 ndi S. 1139), zomwe zikudikirira m'makomiti a Armed Services mu Nyumba ndi Senate.

Malinga ndi Rep. DeFazio, “Purezidenti Carter anabwezeretsa kalembera wa anthu ofuna kulembetsa mu 1980 makamaka pazifukwa za ndale. Kulembetsa usilikali kunalipo kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, zomwe zimafuna kuti amuna onse azaka 18-26 alembetse ku Selective Service System (SSS). Iyenera kuthetsedwa zonse…. SSS ndiulamuliro wosafunikira, wosafunidwa, wachikale, wowononga, komanso wolanga anthu omwe amaphwanya ufulu wachibadwidwe wa anthu aku America… Yadutsa nthawi kuti Congress ichotse SSS kwamuyaya.

Rep. DeFazio's mawu kwa rekodi anaphatikizapo kope la lipoti la kalembera wa anthu ofuna kulowa usilikali lokonzedwa kumayambiriro kwa 1980 ndi Dr. Bernard Rostker, yemwe anali Mtsogoleri wa SSS. Lipotilo linanena kuti kulembetsa anthu olembetsa, komwe kudayimitsidwa mu 1975, kungakhale "kopanda ntchito komanso kosafunikira." Koma monga Dr. Rostker wafotokozera mu zake memoir, Purezidenti Carter adaganiza - pazifukwa zandale osati zankhondo - kunyalanyaza (ndi kuyesa kupondereza) lipotilo, ndipo m'malo mwake adaganiza zokonzanso kalembera. Dr. Rostker anauzidwa za chisankhocho patatsala maola ochepa kuti chilengezedwe mu Pres. Carter's State of the Union Address mu 1980.

Monga Mtsogoleri wa SSS, Dr. Rostker adayesetsa mwakhama komanso mwakhama kukhazikitsa pulogalamu yolembetsa Pres. Carter adapempha ndipo Congress idavomereza (ndipo ikupitilira lero). Koma sizinaphule kanthu monga momwe ananeneratu. Mu 2019, Dr. Rostker adapuma pantchito kuti akachitire umboni pamaso pa National Commission on Military, National, and Public Service (NCMNPS) kuti kusamvera kwapangitsa kuti nkhokwe yapano ikhale yosakwanira komanso yolakwika kotero kuti "zingakhale zopanda ntchito" pakuchita zenizeni. kulemba, komanso kuti Congress ichotse lamulo la Military Selection Service Act. Kodi ndi kangati wotsogolera wakale wa bungwe la Federal akuchitira umboni poyera kuti bungwe lonse lomwe analitsogolera liyenera kuthetsedwa? Akatero, monga momwe Dr. Rostker wachitira molimba mtima, mwina a Congress ayenera kumvetsera.

Umboni wa Dr. Rostker unachitiridwa chithunzi ndi wa m’modzi wa akale ake oyambirira. Nthawi ya a kumva mu 1980 pamalingaliro oti ayambitsenso kulembetsa, Dr. Curtis Tarr, yemwe anali Mtsogoleri wa SSS mu 1970-1972, adachitira umboni kuti "Kukhazikitsa lamulo lodziwitsa Selective Service za adilesi yomwe yasinthidwa kungakhale kovuta kwambiri kuposa kukakamiza kulembetsa…. Ndikuwoneratu kuthekera kozemba kochuluka kuti izi zitha kuchulutsa mabungwe omwe ali ndi udindo wokhazikitsa malamulo komanso makhothi. ”

Congress idanyalanyaza umboni wakale wa SSS Director Tarr mu 1980, koma zidakhala zolosera zolondola. Congress sayenera kunyalanyaza umboni waposachedwa wa Mtsogoleri wakale wa SSS Rostker.

Tsoka ilo, ngakhale Dr. Rostker kapena wina aliyense amene maganizo ake amasiyana ndi a NCMNPS omwe adaitanidwa kapena kuloledwa kuchitira umboni pa Nyumba ya Malamulo pa May 19th. Mboni zokhazo zinali mamembala akale a NCMNPS, omwe adalimbikitsa kukulitsa kalembera kwa amayi koma sanaphatikizepo ndondomeko yoyendetsera ntchito kapena bajeti yoyendetsera ntchito mu lipoti lake ndi malingaliro ake ku Congress.

Monga Mpando Wapampando wa HASC, Rep. Smith analunjika ku mfundo ya funso lake loyamba kwa mboni: "Pansi pa lamulo, mukuyenera kudziwitsa boma komwe muli pakati pa zaka za 18 ndi 26 - zomwe ndingatsimikizire. palibe amene amatero…. Ndinasuntha pang'ono pakati pa zaka zapakati pa 18 ndi 26, ndipo ... Ndili wotsimikiza kuti palibe amene anauza boma kumene ndimakhala. Ndiye tinene kuti dongosololi linayenera kukhazikitsidwa. Tiwapeza bwanji anthu?…. Selection Service palokha, posatengera kuti imagwira ntchito kwa amuna kapena akazi, imakhala yovutirapo ngati mungayang'anenso zigawozo ndikuziyang'ana. Chifukwa chake ndili wofunitsitsa kumva chigamulo chanu cha momwe timagwirira ntchito dongosololi…. Kodi dongosololi limagwira ntchito kwa aliyense, posatengera kuti ndi mwamuna kapena mkazi?"

Maj Genl. Joe Heck, yemwe anali Wapampando wa NCMNPS, adazemba funsoli polankhula za momwe, ngakhale sizothandiza pakulemba, kulembetsa kwa Selection Service "kumapereka mwayi wolembera usilikali" - ngati kuti tiyenera kuwopseza anthu ndi ndende basi. kupanga mndandanda wa zolinga za anthu ofuna kulowa usilikali, kapena ngati kuti chiwopsezo choterocho chingakhale chothandiza pokopa anthu mwakufuna kwawo kuti alembetse.

Rep. Smith adabwereranso ku nkhani ya (kusamvera) ndi kukakamiza: "Kodi mukudziwa momwe zimagwiritsidwira ntchito, ngati anthu satsatira, kaya ndi kulembetsa koyamba kapena zofunikira zotsatila [kudziwitsa Selective Service System. zakusintha ma adilesi]?

Maj. Genl. Heck adayankha mwachidwi pofotokoza momwe malamulo a Federal ankafuna kuti amuna azilembetsa kuti alembetse kuti athe kulandira thandizo la Federal pamaphunziro apamwamba. Koma Heck adapewa kutchula izi chofunikira ichi chinachotsedwa ndi Congress monga gawo lachiwongolero cha omnibus chomwe chinakhazikitsidwa kumapeto kwa chaka chatha ndipo chikuyembekezeka kugwira ntchito pasanathe 2023.

Nanga bwanji omwe amalembetsa nthawi ina, koma amasuntha osadziwitsa Selective Service System? Kodi akhoza kulembedwa? Ichi ndiye chidendene cha Achilles cha dongosolo lakale lolembetsa.

"Pankhani ya anthu akusuntha, ndipo osapezeka, ndikuganiza kuti mfundo yonse ndiyo kudziwa komwe anthu ali osati kuti adalembetsa," adatero Rep. Smith. "Kodi izo zimagwira ntchito bwanji?"

Maj Genl. Heck adavomereza kuti, "Limenelo ndi funso lalikulu, Congressman Smith. Ndipo kunena zoona, mukulondola. Ngakhale pali chofunikira kudziwitsa [Selective Service] System zakusintha kwa ma adilesi, pakadali pano palibe njira yolimbikitsira. ”

Ngakhale Rep. Jackie Speier (D-CA), Wapampando wa Komiti Yoyang'anira Usilikali komanso wokondwerera kuwonjezera kulembetsa kwa amayi, adapempha mboni kuti zitsimikizire - monga momwe adachitira - kuti lamulo la Military Selective Service Act silikugwiritsidwa ntchito. Izi zingapangitse munthu kuganiza kuti, atatsimikizira kuti n'kosatheka, lamuloli liyenera kuthetsedwa. Koma Rep. Speier akuwoneka kuti akunena kuti bola palibe amene akutsekeredwa, palibe vuto kupha anthu mamiliyoni ambiri.

Koma Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Wachiwiri kwa Wapampando wa Komiti Yang'ono Yogwira Ntchito Zankhondo, ananena kuti akazi ambiri amene anadzipereka ku ntchito ya usilikali akuona kuti boma lawalepheretsa. "Kodi sikuyenera kukhala chilungamo kwa amayi omwe ali usilikali tisanauze kuti akazi alembetse?" kuti ayenerere kulowa usilikali mokakamizidwa, anadabwa mokweza.

Kuwonjezera kulankhula za choyenera usilikali, kumva kwa lero kunaphimba nkhani zina zambiri zokhudzana ndi kudzipereka ntchito zomwe zinayankhidwa ndi NCMNPS. Pali kuthekera kuti Rep. Speier adzayitanitsa msonkhano wotsatira mu Komiti Yoyang'anira Gulu Lankhondo makamaka za Selection Service, monga adalonjeza chaka chatha kuti adzachita.
