Ndi David Swanson, World BEYOND War, April 21, 2023

Mayiko ena amakhala ndi tchuthi cha Tchalitchi cha Katolika tsiku lililonse pachaka. United States imakhala ndi tchuthi chankhondo tsiku lililonse pachaka. Ena a iwo, monga zomwe zimatchedwa Tsiku la Veterans, inayamba ngati maholide amtendere omwe - monga Tsiku la Amayi kapena Tsiku la Martin Luther King Jr. - adachotsedwa mosamala chilichonse chokhala ndi mtendere, ndipo m'malo mwake adatembenuzidwira ku ulemerero wa nkhondo ndi kukonzekera nkhondo. Matchuthi ambiri amtendere komanso maholide akale amtendere komanso maholide amtendere omwe atha kupezeka mu Peace Almanac pa mtenderealmanac.org.

Mudzawona pa ulalo wa "Tsiku Lankhondo" pamwambapa kuti lomwe kale linali Tsiku la Armistice ku United States linali ndipo likadali Tsiku la Chikumbutso m'maiko ena. M’maiko amenewo, lasintha kuchoka ku maliro kupita ku chikondwerero cha mabungwe amene amalinganiza kulenga akufa ambiri. Njira yofananirayi imatha kujambulidwa pamatchuthi ena ambiri ku US komanso padziko lonse lapansi, monga Tsiku la Anzac ku New Zealand ndi Australia. Chitsanzo chodziwika bwino ndi Tsiku la Chikumbutso ku United States, lomwe limakhala Lolemba lomaliza la Meyi chaka chilichonse. Nazi zomwe tingawerenge mu Peace Almanac:

Mayani 30. Patsiku lino mu 1868, Tsiku la Chikumbutso linawonedwa koyamba pamene amayi awiri ku Columbus, MS, anaika maluwa pa manda onse a Confederate ndi Union. Nkhaniyi yonena za amai ikuzindikira anthu omwe adaphedwa chifukwa cha Nkhondo Yachibadwidwe poyendera manda ndi maluwa m'manja mwawo makamaka zinachitika zaka ziwiri m'mbuyomo, pa April 25, 1866. Malingana ndi Pakati pa Nkhondo Yachiwawa, panali amayi, amayi, ndi ana ambirimbiri omwe amakhala m'manda. Mu April wa 1862, wolemba zachipembedzo wochokera ku Michigan anaphatikiza akazi ena ochokera ku Arlington, VA kuti akongoletse manda ku Fredericksburg. Pa July 4, 1864, mayi akuyendera manda a abambo ake pamodzi ndi ambiri omwe abambo, abambo, ndi ana awo anamwalira, asiya nkhata pamanda onse ku Boalsburg, PA. Kumayambiriro kwa 1865, dokotala wina opaleshoni, yemwe adakhala Dokotala Wamkulu wa a National Guard ku Wisconsin, adawona akazi akuyika maluwa m'manda pafupi ndi Knoxville, TN pamene adadutsa pa sitima. "Atsikana a Southland" anali kuchita chimodzimodzi pa April 26, 1865 ku Jackson, MS, pamodzi ndi akazi ku Kingston, GA, ndi Charleston, SC. Mu 1866, amayi a Columbus, MS adamva kuti tsiku liyenera kukhala lodzipereka kukumbukira, ndikutsogolera ndakatulo "Blue ndi Gray" ndi Francis Miles Finch. Mkazi ndi mwana wamkazi wa Colonel wakufa kuchokera ku Columbus, GA, ndi gulu lina lachisoni kuchokera ku Memphis, TN anapanga zofanana ngatizo ku Carbondale, IL, ndi Petersburg ndi Richmond, VA. Mosasamala kuti ndi ndani yemwe anali woyamba kubadwa wa tsiku kuti azikumbukira akale, iwo potsiriza anavomerezedwa ndi boma la US.

Sindikutsimikiza ngati tikanagwiritsa ntchito mawu oti “ankhondo akale” pamenepo. Tidayenera kunena mosapita m'mbali. Chikumbutso (poyambirira Tsiku Lokongoletsa) chinali, ndipo ndi, chokumbukira, kapena kukumbukira, omwe adamwalira ali nawo pankhondo. Kwa zaka zambiri, taphunzira kunena kuti "kutumikira" ngati kuti nkhondo ndi ntchito, ndipo tawonjezera tchuthi ku nkhondo zonse za US. Koma, chofunikira kwambiri, tazichepetsa kuchokera pakukumbukira kodabwitsa kwa iwo omwe adamwalira mbali zonse zankhondo kukumbukira okhawo omwe adafera mbali ya US yankhondo zambiri. Ndipo pamene nkhondo zasintha kuchokera ku masoka amene ambiri mwa akufa anali asilikali kukhala masoka amene ambiri amakhala anthu wamba, Tsiku la Chikumbutso langochepetsako chiŵerengero cha akufa kukumbukiridwa. Mwina 5% ya omwe adamwalira munkhondo zaposachedwa zaku US akhala asitikali aku US, ndipo ena onse akhala makamaka anthu omwe amakhala komwe nkhondo idachitikira, kuphatikiza omwe adalimbana ndi kuwukira kwa US. Palibe aliyense m'magulu aŵiri omalizirawo amene akukumbukiridwa. Kaya ndi chifukwa chake kapena zotsatira zake, anthu ambiri ku United States sadziwa yemwe amamwalira pankhondo zaku US. Kunja kwa chikumbutso cha "Collateral Damage" ku Santa Cruz, Calif., Sindikudziwa za zikumbutso zilizonse ku United States za anthu ambiri omwe anamwalira pankhondo zambiri zaku US, pokhapokha mutawerenga sukulu iliyonse ndi tawuni ndi msewu wotchedwa. kwa anthu oyambirira okhala ku North America.

Zachidziwikire, ndikufuna kulira aliyense amene wakhudzidwa ndi nkhondo, kuphatikiza omwe akutenga nawo mbali, koma kuti ndipewe kupanga zambiri, osati kuti ndithandizire kupanga zambiri. Kodi nchiyani chimene chingachitidwe pa Tsiku la Chikumbutso kuti tiphunzitse ndi kusonkhezera maliro a mtendere m’malo mwa kulemekeza kaamba ka kuthiridwa mwazi kowonjezereka?

Choyamba, werengani US Army: 0 - Internet: 1

Chachiwiri, werengani Tikufunika Tsiku la Chikumbutso Kuti Tibise Choonadi Chosapiririka Chokhudza Nkhondo

Tsiku lina lapitalo la Chikumbutso, Ndidalemba - lilime-mu-tsaya - za kufunikira kopeza njira yokumbukira anthu omwe akutenga nawo mbali pankhondo yanyukiliya yomwe ikubwera yomwe sidzasiya opulumuka. Ndipo posachedwapa ndaganiza kuti mwina zomwe tiyenera kuchita ndikuwonetsa poyera chifundo chathu kumayiko onse achisoni omwe sanakhalepo ndi nkhondo zaposachedwa ndipo osakhala ndi chisangalalo cha Tsiku la Chikumbutso - mayiko ang'onoang'ono odziwika monga, mukudziwa, China. Koma - ngakhale ndemanga zabwino pansi pa nkhani yomwe yalumikizidwa pamwambapa - ndili wotsimikiza kuti mtendere- ndi okonda nkhondo amalumikizana kutsutsana ndi zomwe amavomereza kuti ndi mdani wawo weniweni, yemwe ndi satire. Kotero, mwinamwake ife tiyese chinachake.

Chinanso chomwe ndachita ndi yesani kuwerenga zabodza mukulankhula kwa Tsiku la Chikumbutso ndi membala wa Congress. Koma chiganizo chimodzi chingakutengereni mpaka nthawi yayitali zitatha zozimitsa moto ndipo nyama yonse yakufa pa grill yatenthedwa yakuda kuposa munthu wokonda chidwi.

Lingaliro lina lomwe ndili nalo ndiloti, monga momwe zimakhalira ndi omwe adaphedwa ndi apolisi atsankho, titha kukumbukira ONSE omwe adamwalira pankhondo potchula mayina awo mokweza - kapena mayina ambiri momwe tingasonkhanitsire. Ndikudziwa kuti Ed Horgan wakhala akulemba mndandanda wa mayina a ana ozunzidwa pankhondo. Ndiwonjeza ulalo pano ngati ndingapeze. Koma akanakhala mayina angati, ndipo zingatenge nthawi yaitali bwanji kuti awerenge? Sizikanatenga nthawi yaitali kuposa, kunena, kuimba Star Spangled Banner, sichoncho?

Chabwino, apa pali mlandu wa 6 miliyoni omwe adafa pankhondo zaposachedwa za US, osawerengera zaka 5 zapitazi. Kwa mawu 12 miliyoni (mayina 6 miliyoni ndi omaliza 6 miliyoni) I kuwerengera Mphindi 9,2307.7 kapena maola 153,845 kapena kupitirira pang'ono masiku 64. Iwo amati pali mitundu itatu ya anthu, amene amadziwa masamu ndi amene alibe. Ndine wamtundu wotere. Koma ndikutsimikiza kuti izi zingatenge nthawi yabwino kuti ndichite. Komabe, munthu akhoza kuchita choyimira pang'ono.

Chochitika china chocheperako chingakhale chopereka moni kwa ogula pa Tsiku la Chikumbutso ndi zikwangwani, malaya, timapepala towulutsa, ndi zina zotero, kufunsa mafunso osasangalatsa monga akuti: “Kodi nkhondo yosatha ili yoyenera kuchotsera? Kodi anthu anafera 30% yanu? Ndi malonda ati omwe ali osawona mtima, ankhondo kapena amalonda a Tsiku la Chikumbutso?

Koma Tsiku la Chikumbutso likhoza kukhala chochitika chamtendere kapena zochitika zilizonse, chifukwa chifukwa choyamba chothetsera nkhondo ndikuti nkhondo imapha anthu.

Malingaliro ena a malaya omwe mungavale ku zochitika za Tsiku la Chikumbutso:
