Ndi John LaForge
Zimakhala zovuta kuganiza zokondwerera nkhondo ya nyukiliya, koma ndi zomwe zinali ku Hill Air Force Base, pafupi ndi Ogden, Utah Lachinayi lapitali, Feb. 12.
Pa phwando la zikondwerero za boma, panali mphoto za "opanga pamwamba" kuphatikizapo Team of the Year, Volunteer of Year ndi Wokwatirana Waka Chaka. Mtsogoleri wa maboma, Col. Ron Jolly, adati, "Airmen apa akuwona chithunzi chachikulu ndikudziwa kuti ndi ... pokhudzana ndi kupereka thandizo kwa Team Hill."
Kodi "Gulu la Team" n'chiyani? Pa maola angapo miliyoni ndi anthu a 20,000, Hill AFB ili ndi ntchito yokhala ndi kuyesa "kudalirika" pakati pazinthu zina, mizinda ya 450 Minuteman III yamtundu wa intercontinental kapena ICBM. Mapulaneti a 60 -atali, miyala ya 39-ton, ndi 335-kiloton nuclear weaponsheads (kuganiza za Hiroshima, nthawi 22), akhoza kuthawa 6,000 ku 7,000 mailosi asanatuluke pa zolinga zomwe zasankhidwa ndi Global Strike Command (dzina lake lenileni) ku Omaha.
Malo oyesera a Hill AFB a "state of the art" amayesa "kuuma kwa nyukiliya, kupulumuka, kudalirika"… "ma radiation a nyukiliya, kuphulika kwa mpweya, kugwedezeka komanso kugwedezeka" komanso "magetsi amagetsi." Izi ndi zotsatira za kuphulika kwa zida zanyukiliya, ndipo maziko ake amasunga ma ICBM athu kukhala "odalirika" - omwe ali okonzeka kukhazikitsa kuchokera ku bunkers kudutsa North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado ndi Nebraska.
Muzinthu zamatsenga, "kudalirika" kumatanthawuza chitsimikizo chakuti moto wamoto wotentha wa 40-square-miles-per-warhead ukhoza kutulutsa dziko kutali pogwiritsa ntchito makomboti omwe amayamba ndi kutembenuka kwa fungulo. (Daniel Berrigan nthawi ina analemba kuti mu Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko lonse, Ajeremani adapereka anthu ku crematoria, ndipo kuti mfuti tsopano imanyamula crematoria kwa anthu.)
Mu Epulo 2014, magulu ankhondo omwe akugwirabe ntchito yawo ya Cold War - zaka 26 nkhondo itatha - adalimbikitsidwa pomwe Hill AFB idapereka "Brent Scowcroft Awards" Adapita kwa ogwira ntchito molimbika mu "Launch and Test Team" ndi kwa ena omwe akugwira ntchito yokonza zinthu, kugula zinthu, ndi zina zotchedwa "kupititsa patsogolo."
Mphothoyi imatchedwa Lt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, yemwe adalimbana ndi Cold War, adayambitsa ntchito ya Reagan yomwe inalimbikitsa kuti azigwiritsa ntchito ma ICBM. Komiti ya 1983 Scowcroft inalimbikitsa "mphamvu yopezeka pamtunda ndichinthu chofunika kwambiri, mwamsanga kuti chiwononge mphamvu."
Mawu achipongwe akuti "chandamale chopha" amatanthauza bomba la H lolondola mokwanira kuwononga mivi yankhondo ina mnyumba zosanja zisanayambike - "kuwukira koyamba kwa nyukiliya" Izi ndi zomwe mivi ya Minuteman III itha kuchita ndikukwaniritsa zomwe akuwopseza, 24/7, ndimitu yawo yankhondo ya Mark 12A. Commission ya Scowcroft idalangiza a Air Force kuti apange zida zankhondo zankhondo imodzi, ndizomwe zida zathu za Minuteman IIIs zakhala.
Monga "omenyana" omwe amanyansidwa ndi zolaula, m'mayendedwe awo otsekemera, omwe amatha kufa, pafupi ndi Malmstrom Air Base, FE Warren Air Base ndi Minot AFB, Team Hill akukonzekera ndikupukuta makina a zida za nyukiliya. Chipatala cha ICBM System Programme chimakhala ndi "real" Minuteman missile "malo opangira zowonetsera malo komanso malo oyendetsera malo." Hill's Nuclear Weapons Center "ikukula, imapeza ndikuthandizira ma ICBMs-silo makale ... amasamalira mankhwala ... amasamalira machitidwe a ICBM" ndipo amagula " magawo osungira, mautumiki, ndi kukonzanso "za" Mapulogalamu a Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) ndi zida. "
Zaka ziwiri zapitazo, Hill inapereka mgwirizano wa $ 90 miliyoni ku Cincinnati kulimbikitsa galimoto yatsopano yochotsa ma ICBM akuluakulu. Galimotoyo, yotchedwa "transporter erector," imayika ndi kutumiza miyalayi. Malinga ndi Air Base, "idzatumikira Minuteman III ICBM kupyolera mu 2035."
Nanga bwanji za Purezidenti wa Mphotho Yamtendere "wopanda zida za nyukiliya"? Munthu Wamphamvu Kwambiri sangathe kutseka koloni yaying'ono, yatsopano, yakunyanja ku Guantanamo. Kulimbana ngakhale - osachepetsanso - ndalama zankhaninkhani, nkhondo ya nyukiliya, Prez angafunike kupandukira kwamphamvu kwambiri komanso kuwopa MLK.
Panthawi yomweyi, akuluakulu a boma, otsogolera ndi othandizira omwe akukonzekera ndi kuchita zinthu zosayembekezereka, ndi osokonezeka, kapena osokonezeka, kuti Team Hill wa Feb. 12 gala, "atsogoleri odziwika bwino a m'mudzi ndi alendo apadera amapereka mphoto." Komiti imodzi yogwirizanitsa -chair anati, "Tinkafuna kuti olemba mphoto athu azikhala ngati anthu otchuka." Ofesi yotchedwa Public Affairs office inadzitamanda kuti "malo otsekemera magalimoto, ofunsa mafunso pa 'pepala lofiira,' oimba, makina a quartet ndi kuvina."
Ndikadutsa nthawi kuti kuvomereza kuti khalidweli lidodometsedwa ndi kulengeza chipani cha nyukiliya. Funso silili momwe angelo angayenderere pamutu wa pini, koma ndi angati omwe ali "okwatirana" omwe angagwiritsidwe ntchito pa 450 ndi ICBMs.
- John LaForge amagwira ntchito ku Nukewatch, gulu loyang'anira zida za nyukiliya ku Wisconsin, amasintha kalatayi ya Quarterly, ndipo amaphatikizidwa PeaceVoice.
