Zadzidzidzi zadziko zimabweretsa nzeru zaku America komanso kufunitsitsa kusintha magiya - monga banja ku Maine amene analemba posachedwapa mu The Washington Post za kukonzanso kampani yawo kuti apange masks m'malo mwa hoodies. Chomwe chimalimbikitsidwa kwambiri monga chitsanzo ndikusinthika kwachangu kwa mafakitale amagalimoto kuti apange akasinja pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse.

Vuto ladziko limenelo linasintha kukhala Nkhondo Yamaukuru yanthaŵi yaitali. Ngakhale kuti nkhondoyo inatha m’kupita kwanthaŵi, kuchuluka kwa chuma cha dziko pankhondo sikunathe. Tikupitiriza perekani kuposa theka za bajeti yathu ya federal - gawo lomwe Congress imavotera chaka chilichonse - ku Pentagon, ndi ndalama zambiri, yosinthidwa kaamba ka kukwera kwa mitengo, kuposa mmene inalili panthaŵi ya Nkhondo Yozizira.

Sitikudziwa kuti mliriwu utha liti, kapena momwe usinthiratu moyo waku America. Koma tikudziwa kuti tifunika kuchita zina zazikulu, zosinthira zida zanthawi yayitali. Tsopano zowululidwa ndi mipata mu dongosolo lathu laumoyo wa anthu lomwe limapangidwa ndi kunyalanyaza bajeti. Tidzafunika kudzaza mabowowa kwanthawizonse m'malo mongoyang'ana mwadzidzidzi, kuti tikonzekere mokwanira mliri kapena mliri wotsatira. Ndipo chimodzi cha izi, kenako china, nditero kubwera, mochuluka kapena mocheperapo kutengera zomwe tikuchita pakadali pano. Kutsimikizika uku ndi chimodzi mwazotsatira zomwe asayansi azindikira kufulumizitsa kusintha kwa nyengo.

Kukonzanso kwakukulu kwa bajeti kudzafunika kukonzanso momwe Pentagon amawonongera ndalama ku chiwopsezo cha ma virus chomwe tonse takakamizika kuzindikira. Izi zikusintha mwachangu nzeru wamba.

Ogwira ntchito zankhondo ayesa kuletsa izi. Kuwapanga kukhala gawo la yankho kungathandize.

Kusalinganika kwa bajeti kwasokoneza luso lathu lopanga phindu. Ngakhale takhala ndi chuma chambiri pomanga malo otsogola kwambiri ankhondo padziko lonse lapansi, takhala tikuwona momwe dziko la China likuchitira ndalama zambiri. mankhwala, komanso mphamvu ya dzuwa. Makontrakitala ankhondo azitsatira ndalama; iwo nthawizonse amakhala nawo. Ngati bajeti ya feduro ipereka ndalama zochulukirapo pakukulitsa ntchito zapakhomo m'magawo awa, makontrakitala ayesa kutenga nawo gawo.

Pali vuto ndi nkhaniyi, komabe, chifukwa cha kusiyana pakati pa magulu ankhondo ndi anthu wamba. Pamene makontrakitala ankhondo ayesa kugwiritsa ntchito njira zogwirira ntchito zomwe akudziwa, monga machitidwe ankhondo, kuti alowe m'malo ena, ndalama zakwera kwambiri kuposa zomwe msika wamalonda ungakwaniritse. Pamene a gulu lankhondo la Boeing anayesera kupanga mabasi kubwerera m'zaka za m'ma 70, pambuyo pa kutha kwa nkhondo ya Vietnam, mchitidwe wankhondo wa "concurrency" - kugulitsa ndi kutumiza katundu wake nsikidzi zisanapangidwe - mabasi awo adawonongeka m'tawuni yonse. (Pamene concurrency idasiyidwa, mabasi adayenda bwino, koma kuwonongeka kwa ubale kunachitika.)

Nkhondo Yozizira itatha - nthawi ina kutsika kwa bajeti ya asilikali kunapangitsa kuti a Pentagon ayang'ane mozama pazomwe angachite - maboma a federal ndi maboma adayesetsa kuthana ndi mavutowa. Bungwe la Clinton Administration Technology Reinvestment Project, mwachitsanzo, adagwirizanitsa malonda ndi opanga asilikali, kuti anyamata ankhondo aphunzire kuchokera kwa anyamata amalonda momwe angapangire zinthu zomwe msika wamalonda ungagule. Dipatimenti ya Zamalonda Pulogalamu Yowonjezera Yopanga adapanga ukadaulo wothandiza opanga zida zankhondo kukonzanso mizere yawo yopangira ndikuphunzitsanso antchito awo ntchito zamalonda. Tifunika mapulogalamu atsopano ngati awa.
