Sabata yatha milandu ya Desertion ndi Makhalidwe Olakwika Pamaso pa Adani adalimbikitsidwa motsutsana ndi Sergeant Bowe Bergdahl. Tsoka ilo, Sergeant Bergdahl adapachikidwanso pamtanda, popanda umboni kapena kuzengedwa mlandu, m'malo ambiri, m'malo ochezera komanso pawailesi yakanema. Tsiku lomwelo Sergeant Bergdahl adaperekedwa ngati nsembe kwa akuluakulu andale aku Republican, olemba mabulogu, akatswiri, ankhuku ndi jingoists, pomwe ma Democrats nthawi zambiri amakhala chete pomwe Sergeant Bergdahl adawonetsedwa pakompyuta komanso pa digito mu Triumph yaposachedwa ya Global War on Terror, Purezidenti Ashraf. Ghani adayamikiridwa, payekha, ndi American Congress. Zochitika zoterezi, kaya zakonzedwa kapena mwangozi, nthawi zambiri zimawonekera m'nkhani zolembedwa kapena zamakanema, koma nthawi zina zimadziwonetsera m'moyo weniweni, nthawi zambiri zimawoneka kuti zimagwirizanitsa makhalidwe abwino ndi makhalidwe oipa a anthu chifukwa cha kupititsa patsogolo nkhani za ndale.
Vuto lokhala ndi izi mwangozi kwa iwo omwe ali kumanja, kumachita zongopeka za kupambana kwa usilikali waku America kunja, komanso kwa omwe ali Kumanzere, akufunitsitsa kutsimikizira kuti ma Democrats atha kukhala olimba ngati aku Republican, ndikuti chowonadi chitha kulowerera. Chokhumudwitsa ndi kudodometsa kwa ambiri ku DC, Sergeant Bergdahl atha kukhala ngwazi yodzipereka, pomwe Purezidenti Ghani atha kukhala wakuba, ndipo kuchoka kwa Sergeant Bergdahl ku gulu lake ku Afghanistan kungamveke ngati koyenera komanso nthawi yake ngati mkaidi. za nkhondo, pomwe Purezidenti Obama akupitilizabe kubweza ndikubweza boma ku Kabul, molipira antchito aku America ndi okhometsa misonkho, amavomerezedwa kuti ndi achiwerewere komanso achinyengo.
Anaikidwa m'manda ambiri atolankhani sabata yatha pa milandu yomwe idaperekedwa kwa Sergeant Bergdahl, kupatulapo CNN, ndi tsatanetsatane wa kafukufuku wa Army pa kutha, kugwidwa ndi kugwidwa kwa Sergeant Bergdahl. Monga zawululidwa ndi gulu lazamalamulo la Sergeant Bergdahl, ofufuza makumi awiri ndi awiri a asilikali apanga lipoti lofotokoza za kuchoka kwa Sergeant Bergdahl ku gulu lake, kugwidwa kwake ndi zaka zisanu monga mkaidi wankhondo zomwe zimatsutsa mphekesera zambiri zoipa ndi zowonetsera za iye ndi khalidwe lake.
Monga momwe zalembedwera m'mawu a maloya ake omwe adaperekedwa kwa Asitikali pa Marichi 25, 2015, poyankha kutumizidwa kwa Sergeant Bergdahl ku nkhani yoyambirira ya Article 32 (yomwe ili pafupifupi gulu lankhondo lofanana ndi bwalo lamilandu la anthu wamba), mfundo zotsatirazi tsopano zikudziwika za Sergeant Bergdahl ndi nthawi yake isanachitike komanso panthawi yomwe anali mkaidi wankhondo. :
• Sergeant Bergdahl ndi "munthu woona mtima" yemwe "sanachite ndi zolinga zoipa";
• Sanali ndi cholinga chothawira mpaka kalekale komanso analibe cholinga chochoka m'gulu lankhondo pamene amachoka kum'mawa kwa Afghanistan mchaka cha 2009;
• adalibe cholinga cholowa nawo gulu la Taliban kapena kuthandiza adani;
• adasiya ntchito yake kuti afotokoze "zovuta kwa mkulu wapafupi kwambiri".
• pamene anali mkaidi wankhondo kwa zaka zisanu, anazunzidwa, koma sanagwirizane ndi omwe anamugwira. M’malo mwake, Sajenti Bergdahl anayesa kuthaŵa nthaŵi khumi ndi ziŵiri, nthaŵi iriyonse ndi chidziŵitso iye akazunzidwa kapena kuphedwa ngati agwidwa;
• palibe umboni kuti asilikali a ku America anamwalira akufunafuna Sajeni Bergdahl.
Apanso, izi ndi zomwe apeza pakufufuza kwa Asilikali pakutha kwa Sergeant Bergdahl; sizikupepesa kapena zongopeka za gulu lake lazamalamulo, Marines adatembenuza anti-war peaceniks ngati ine, kapena a Obama fawning achiwembu. Tsatanetsatane wa mfundo izi zili mu lipoti la Asilikali, lolembedwa ndi Major General Kenneth Dahl, lomwe silinatulutsidwe poyera, koma mwachiyembekezo lidzaperekedwa kwa anthu pambuyo pa kumvetsera koyambirira kwa Sergeant Bergdahl mwezi wamawa kapena, ngati mlandu wothawa ndi khalidwe loipa. amatsatiridwa, pa nthawi ya nkhondo ya khoti lake.
Zomwe Sergeant Bergdahl adawona zomwe zingamupangitse kuyika moyo wake pachiswe, akuyenda wopanda zida kudutsa dera lolamulidwa ndi adani, kuti akapereke chidziwitso kwa mkulu wankhondo waku America, sizikudziwika. Ife tikudziwa kuti gulu la Sergeant Bergdahl linali la chilango chachikulu chisanachitike komanso pambuyo pa kugwidwa kwa Sergeant Bergdahl, kuti atsogoleri angapo a gulu lake adathamangitsidwa ndikusinthidwa asanagwidwe, komanso, kuchokera ku mauthenga pakati pa Sergeant Bergdahl ndi banja lake asanayambe. kugwidwa kwake, Sergeant Bergdahl anadwala ndi kukhumudwa ndi zochita za gulu lake, kuphatikizapo kuphatikizika kwake pa imfa ya mwana wa Afghanistan.
Ndizotheka kuti Sergeant Bergdahl adasiya gulu lake kuti akanene zaumbanda kapena milandu ina yayikulu yochitidwa ndi asitikali aku America. N’kutheka kuti ankayesa kunena za kulephera kwa utsogoleri wake kapena chinali chinachake, poganizira zam’mbuyo, chimene tsopano tingachione ngati chaching’ono. Zochita zoterezi pa gawo la Sergeant Bergdahl zingathandize kufotokoza chifukwa chake anzake omwe anali nawo kale, makamaka amuna omwe Sergeant Bergdahl adawasiya kuti afotokoze, akhala amphamvu kwambiri pomutsutsa, kotero kuti asamukhululukire chifukwa cha kusowa kwake. ndipo anaumirira kukana kwawo kusonyeza chifundo pa kuzunzika kwake pamene anali mkaidi wankhondo.
Chidziwitso ichi chikhoza kufotokoza chifukwa chake a Taliban ankakhulupirira kuti Sergeant Bergdahl adagwa m'mbuyo poyang'anira m'malo mothawa. Akadakhala kuti akuthawa, kuposa Sergeant Bergdahl ayenera kuti akanauza a Taliban zidziwitso zonyoza za asitikali aku US poyesa kukolola mabwenzi ndikupewa kuzunzidwa, koma ngati anali paulendo wake kukanena zolakwa, ndiye kuti sakanatha kufotokoza izi. uthenga kwa mdani. Izi zitha kufotokoza chifukwa chake Sergeant Bergdahl adauza omwe adamugwira bodza m'malo moulula kuchoka kwake mwakufuna kwawo kugulu lankhondo.
Izi zitha kutsimikiziranso chifukwa chake Sergeant Bergdahl adasiya maziko ake popanda chida kapena zida zake. Asanachoke ku malo ake akunja, Sergeant Bergdahl anafunsa mtsogoleri wa gulu lake zomwe zingachitike ngati msilikali atachoka pamalopo, popanda chilolezo, ndi chida chake ndi zida zina zoperekedwa. Mtsogoleri wa gulu la Sergeant Bergdahl anayankha kuti msilikaliyo afika m'mavuto. Kumvetsetsa Sergeant Bergdahl ngati sakusiya, koma kuyesa kutumikira Asilikali pofotokoza zolakwa ku malo ena kungafotokoze chifukwa chake anasankha kusanyamula chida chake ndikutulutsa zida kuchokera kumalo akunja. Sajeni Bergdahl sanali kukonzekera kuthawa, mwachitsanzo kusiya usilikali ndi nkhondo, ndipo sanafune kuti alowe m'mavuto chifukwa chotenga chida chake ndikumupatsa zida pa ntchito yake yosaloledwa.
Izi zitha kuchitika kwa atsogoleri akulu, ndipo pamapeto pake atolankhani ndi anthu aku America, za imfa za anthu wamba kapena zolakwa zina zithanso kuwerengera mgwirizano wosawululira gulu la Sergeant Bergdahl lomwe linakakamizika kusaina atasowa. Mapangano osawululira akhoza kukhala ofala kwa anthu wamba ndipo amakhalapo m'magulu ankhondo monga ntchito zapadera ndi luntha, koma kwa magulu ankhondo oyenda nthawi zonse amakhala osowa. Kugwidwa kwa Sergeant Bergdahl ndi mdani, mwina ali panjira kuti awulule milandu yankhondo kapena zolakwa zina, ungakhale mtundu wa zochitika zomwe gulu lamanyazi lingayese kubisala. Kubisa kotereku sikungakhale kochitika m'mbiri yankhondo yaku America.
Zofanana ndi zomwe zanenedwa ndi andale ambiri, akatswiri komanso asitikali akale omwe Sergeant Bergdahl adasiya chifukwa, kunena mwachidule, adadana ndi America ndipo amafuna kulowa nawo a Taliban, lingaliro loti adagwirizana ndikuthandiza a Taliban pomwe mkaidi wankhondo adatsutsidwanso. ndi kafukufuku wa Asilikali. Tikudziwa kuti Sergeant Bergdahl anakana omwe adamugwira m'zaka zake zisanu ali mkaidi wankhondo. Mayesero ake khumi ndi awiri othawa, ndi chidziwitso chonse cha zoopsa zomwe zimakhudzidwa ndi kubwezeretsanso, zikugwirizana ndi Machitidwe Mamembala onse aku America akuyenera kutsatira akamagwidwa ndi mdani.
M’mawu akeake, kufotokoza kwa Sergeant Bergdahl za chithandizo chake kumasonyeza zaka zisanu zowopsya ndi zankhanza za kudzipatula kosalekeza, kuwonekera, kuperewera kwa zakudya m’thupi, kutaya madzi m’thupi, ndi chizunzo chakuthupi ndi chamaganizo. Pakati pa zifukwa zina, kupulumuka kwake kuyenera kutsimikiziridwa ndi kulimba mtima kosagwedezeka kwa makhalidwe ndi nyonga zake zamkati. Makhalidwe omwewo omwe adamupangitsa kufunafuna mkulu wankhondo waku America kuti anene "zosokoneza" atha kukhalanso mphamvu zamaganizidwe, zamalingaliro komanso zauzimu zomwe zidamupangitsa kukhala wamoyo kupitilira theka lazaka zakumenyedwa mwankhanza, kutsekeredwa m'khola, ndi kuzunzidwa. Ndikumvetsetsa kwanga kuti mkaidi wankhondo waku US komanso alangizi a zankhondo aku US akuwerenga zomwe Sergeant Bergdahl adakumana nazo kuti aphunzitse bwino mamembala ankhondo aku America kuti athe kupirira zokumana nazo zamtsogolo ngati akaidi ankhondo.
Susan Rice, Pulezidenti Obama National Security Advisor, anali mozungulira lampooned ndi kudzudzulidwa chaka chatha ponena kuti Sergeant Bergdahl "anatumikira mwaulemu ndi wapadera". Ndiokhawo omwe amafunitsitsa kwambiri komanso olakalaka ndale pakati pathu omwe, tsopano akumvetsetsa kuzunzidwa kwa Sergeant Bergdahl, kukana kwake kwa mdani yemwe adamumanga mndende, komanso kutsatira malamulo a usilikali a US kwa zaka zisanu m'mikhalidwe yowopsya, angatsutse. kuti sanatumikire ndi ulemu ndi ulemu.
Kulimba mtima, mwakuthupi komanso m'maganizo komwe zolemba zankhondo mu lipoti lake la Sergeant Bergdahl zikusiyana kwambiri ndi anthu aku America omwe adalandira chiyamiko chotere kwa Purezidenti Ghani sabata yatha. President Ghani, omwe adaba chisankho cha pulezidenti wa Afghanistan chaka chatha moyipa modabwitsa komanso modabwitsa, adalandiridwa ngati ngwazi ndi mamembala azipani zonse ziwiri, omwe ambiri mwa iwo adatsutsa mwamphamvu kuti Sergeant Bergdahl ayenera kukhalabe mkaidi wankhondo.
Monga adachitira Purezidenti Hamid Karzai mchaka cha 2009, pomwe Purezidenti Karzai adaba chisankho cha Purezidenti wa Afghanistan chaka chimenecho, Purezidenti Obama adalamulanso kupitiliza kwachuma komanso kuthandizira ku America kwa Purezidenti Ghani. Monga Purezidenti Karzai, boma la Purezidenti Ghani limapangidwa ndi omenyera nkhondo komanso ogulitsa mankhwala osokoneza bongo. Ambiri mwa omwe ali ndi mphamvu ku Afghanistan ali ngati Wachiwiri kwa Purezidenti wa Afghanistan, Rashid Dostum, zigawenga zankhondo zodziwika bwino, pomwe ena ndi amuna omwe adapeza chuma chambiri polumikizana ndi zigawenga zankhondo pazaka makumi angapo zankhondo zaku Afghanistan, monga Chief Executive wa Afghanistan. Abdullah Abdullah (Abdullah Abdullah adadziwonetsanso kuti ndi wakuba kuvota pazisankho zapulezidenti wa chaka chatha ndipo adapatsidwa udindo wowonjezera pa Constitution). Kwa amuna awa, chifukwa cha mphamvu zawo komanso phindu lawo, Purezidenti Obama adalamula kuti asitikali aku US achoke ku Afghanistan. Izi zipangitsa kuti boma la Kabul likhale lokhazikika, pomwe ndalama zofananira ndi ndalama zaku America zidzalola kuti maukonde achitetezo, omwe ndi njira yeniyeni ya boma la Afghanistan, kugwira ntchito.
Komabe, monga momwe Purezidenti Ghani amafunikira Purezidenti Obama kuti awonetsetse kuti boma la Afghanistan lipulumuka, Purezidenti Obama amayang'ana kwa Purezidenti Ghani kuti athandizire kuteteza kunamizira kuti United States yachita bwino pankhondo yake ku Afghanistan. Ndi ndondomeko za ku America zikulephera mochititsa chidwi ku Middle East ku Greater Middle East, chifukwa cha kuzunzika kwa anthu mamiliyoni ambiri, Purezidenti Obama sangakwanitse zandale kuti awone boma la Afghanistani, boma limene United States likuika ndikusunga mphamvu, likugwa. Chifukwa chake, mpaka atachoka paudindo, Purezidenti Obama apitiliza kusunga boma la Afghanistan kukhala lamoyo.
Pamene Purezidenti Ghani adayendera Washington, DC, bodza lalikulu la nkhondo yomwe ikugonjetsedwa, yomwe nthawi zambiri imawonekera m'mbiri ya ufumu uliwonse, idadzutsidwa mobwerezabwereza. Pakuyika konse kwa Nkhondo Yabwino, makamaka panthawi ya kampeni ya Purezidenti Obama ku 2008 komanso nthawi yake paudindo, zenizeni zankhondo ku Afghanistan ndikuti. zikwi mazanamazana afa, kuphatikizapo 2,356 Achimereka, mazana a zikwi anapunduka, odulidwa ndi ovulazidwa, ndipo pamene ovulala amisala mwina sangadziwike konse, lingaliro liyenera kukhala lakuti iwo ali mu mamiliyoni.
Afghanistan pansi pa ulamuliro waku Western idakhalabe dziko opanda chuma, kuchirikizidwa kokha ndi thandizo lakunja. Makampani okhawo omwe angalankhulepo ndi malonda a mankhwala osokoneza bongo, omwe amapereka dziko lapansi pa 90% ya opiamu ndi heroin komanso momwe boma la Afghanistani limagwiritsira ntchito ndalama zambiri. Chaka chilichonse, pansi pa ulamuliro wa Azungu, ogulitsa mankhwala osokoneza bongo apeza pafupifupi zokolola zambiri pachaka.
Zigawenga za ku Afghanistan zikuyenda bwino komanso pansi pa kukhalapo kwa America ndi NATO. Kupambana kwankhondo motsutsana ndi a Taliban, omwe adalonjezedwa ndikutsimikiziridwa ndi akazembe aku America otsatizana, sikunawonekere ndipo tsopano a Taliban ndi amphamvu kuposa nthawi iliyonse kuyambira 2001. Kulimbikitsidwa ndi mkwiyo pa ntchito zakunja ndi zolosera boma lachinyengo lolamulidwa ndi mafuko, mafuko ndi amitundu, anthu a Pashtun akum'mawa ndi kumwera kwa Afghanistan akupitilizabe kupereka chithandizo chofunikira kwa a Taliban kuti chaka chilichonse aphe ziwerengero za anzawo aku Afghanistan, onse. anthu wamba ndi magulu a chitetezo.
Chifukwa chake Purezidenti Ghani atafika ndi dzanja lake ku Washington, quid pro quo ndiye kulimbikitsa boma lake kuti likhazikitse Bodza la Ubwino wa Nkhondo ya Afghan, Sergeant Bergdahl adaponyedwa pagulu. Imfa za anyamata ena akuimbidwa mlandu pa iye, popanda kumvera kuti anyamatawo adamwalira chifukwa anali pankhondo ku Afghanistan, osati chifukwa cha zochita kapena kusachita kwa mnyamata wazaka makumi awiri ndi ziwiri wa ku Idaho. kutsatira chikumbumtima chake, ndipo, ine ndikanati, chikhulupiriro chakenso, mwa zopusa, zoipa ndi kupha kwa nkhondo. Pakali pano, ndale zathu ndi zoulutsira nkhani zimatiuza ngati tili ndi chifundo kwa Sajeni Bergdahl ndi banja lake, ndiye kuti sitingasamale kapena kusonyeza chikondi kwa mabanja a anyamata omwe anamwalira. Kukambiranaku kumawonetsedwa ngati chowonadi chapadziko lonse lapansi ndipo mkwiyo wathu, kukhumudwa, chisokonezo, kudziimba mlandu, manyazi ndi chisoni pankhondoyo zimasamutsidwa pamavuto amunthu payekhapayekha komanso kudzipereka. Nkhondo iyi yopanda cholinga ndi yopanda mapeto; nkhondo imeneyi kuti lipenga ngati nkhondo yolimbana ndi zoipa, koma, monga angachitire umboni ndi kuvulaza khalidwe zomwe zimandivutitsa ine ndi ankhondo anzanga, tikukhala ndi chidziwitso kuti nthawi zambiri zoyipa zimatha kupezeka mwa ife tokha, zatiwonetsa ngati kuipitsidwa mwamakhalidwe monga adani athu, monganso akazembe osawerengeka omwe adathandizira ndi kuvomereza nkhondoyi sanaimbidwepo chifukwa cha zolephera zawo kapena kuyankha chifukwa cha "chiyembekezo".
Nthawi zonse pakhala pali Alice ku Wonderland ngati khalidwe la ndale, malingaliro a anthu ndi nkhondo, makamaka mu tsiku lino la ndale zosatha za ndale ndi hyper-partisanship. Mmwamba ndi pansi, chaching'ono ndi chachikulu, ndi zina zotero. Zochitika zotere sizodabwitsa monga Sergeant Bergdahl, Purezidenti Ghani ndi Nkhondo Yabwino akuphatikizidwa, koma zoona zake ndizakuti nkhondoyo yalephera ndipo sizabwino, Purezidenti Ghani sali wochuluka kuposa wachisankho wozunguliridwa ndi akupha, mankhwala osokoneza bongo. mafumu ndi opindula pankhondo, ndi Sergeant Bergdahl, chabwino, kuchokera ku zomwe tikudziwa tsopano, akhoza kukhala yekha munthu wamakhalidwe abwino mwa izi, mnyamata yemwe adadzipereka ndi kuvutika pankhondo ndipo tsopano akutchedwa wachinyengo ndi wamantha, chifukwa. ayenera kuti ankangofuna kunena zoona zokhudza Nkhondo Yabwino.
