Mushure mekumaka kuparadzwa kwaNagasaki uye mapurisa-kuuraya kwaMichael Brown muFerguson muna Nyamavhuvhu 9th, maAmerican vane sarudzo dzekuti vayeuke musi waAugust 10. Ini ndinofarira kufunga kuti Nyamavhuvhu 10 inofanirwa kuzivikanwa zviri pamutemo seGulf yeTonkin Hondo Yekubiridzira Zuva. Asi ini handina chokwadi, nekuti chimwe chiitiko chiri mukutonyanya kuda kurangarirwa.
Raive zuva rakatevera kufa kwaNagasaki, makore makumi manomwe apfuura, kuti vakundi vehondo inotyisa kwazvo vakasarudza kuumba chikamu cheKorea padivi pechimakumi matatu nemasere - mutsetse waizoremekedzwa sechinhu chitsvene kana mauto eNorth Korea yakazosangana nayo, asi yakanzi “inofungidzirwa” apo mauto eU.S. akayambuka ichienda kuchamhembe.
Hondo yeKorea yaive kuHondo Yenyika II zvaive nemavara echigwadara kuna 9-11 - pasina iyo pfungwa dzakange dziine mukana chaiwo; zvechiuto zvakadzorwa kumashure zvakanyanya kudzamara Hondo yeKorea yagadzira chikonzero chehupfumi hwenyika yeumambo; asi hapana munhu anotomboyeuka zvakaitika. Kunyangwe Dean Acheson, uyo akaisa masanction kuJapan akatungamira kuPearl Harbor uye ane sarudzo yaive yekurwa hondo inotyisa muKorea, hazvizivikanwe. Muchidimbu izvi imhaka yekuti hondo yakabatana neMcCarthyism, uye vashoma vakashinga kutaura chokwadi nezvazvo panguva iyoyo. Muchidimbu imhaka yekuti kurangarira kunounza kunyanya kunyadziswa nekusemeswa.
Hondo isati yauya US inotora maSouth, kudzvanyirirwa kwevasiya, kuuraya kwevanhu neUS neSouth Koreans, kusanganisira kuurawa kwe30,000 kusvika 60,000 paJeju Island uko South Korea parizvino iri kuvaka hwaro hutsva hukuru hwe US Navy. Zvino kwakauya hukasha kubva kuSouth, kusanganisira gore rekurwisa kuyambuka nzvimbo inoera yechi38, uye yekuSouth yakazivisa chinangwa chekupinda muNorth.
Apo North yakapinda muSouth, United States inopomera nhema yeSoviet Union uye yakabatana pamwe chete sangano rekuda kuUnited Nations nekuzviti yakabata mauto eRussia. Pakarepo Siri Mukuru weUnited States Douglas MacArthur akawana mukana, akaenderera mberi, pamwe neMutungamiri Truman's inogamuchirwa, kumativi ose 38th uye kusvika kumuganhu weChina. MacArthur akanga achinyura hondo yeChina uye akaipisidzira, uye akakumbira mvumo yekurwisa, iyo iyo Joint Chiefs of Staff yakaramba. Pakupedzisira, Truman akadzinga MacArthur. Kurwisa chigamba chemhepo kuNorth Korea yakapa China, uye kuputira bheni guta, ndiyo yaiva pedyo MacArthur yakaenda pane zvaaida. Asi kutyisidzira kweUnited States kuChina, kana kuti svondo reUnited States rokukunda North Korea, rakaunza maChina neRussia kupinda muhondo.
Munguva yehondo, iyo US yakabhombesa zvakapoterera angangoita maguta ese uye taundi kumaodzanyemba uye mazhinji muSouth - makore matatu ekuputika kwebhapeti pasina kunetsekana zvakanyanya nekuda kwekuurayiwa kwevanhu, uye kubhomba kwemadhamu mafashama nekuuraya nzara vanhu. Misha yakaputirwa nemoto uye yakaputika. A New York Times mutori wenhau akarondedzera musha uine munhu wese akaomeswa nechando panzvimbo sezvo vanga vachifamba hupenyu hwavo, sekuPompei, asi vakapiswa kusvika pakufa napalm. Isu tinofunga nezveVietnam sehondo yepasalm, asi izvo zvaive zvakanyanya Korea. Mauto eUS neSouth Korea akaurayawo vanhu pasi. Maodzanyemba akaitisa hutsinye hwakawanda zvakare, asi iwo makuru chaizvo, sekuziva kwedu, aive ese kudivi reUS. Musangano weUN wekuparadza rudzi wakagadzirwa apo United States yaiita mhosva iyi kune vanhu avo mauto eAmerica angodaidzwa kunzi "gooks." Kudzoka kumba veruzhinji vaiziva zvishoma nezvehondo zvakadaro vachiri kuzvishora. Chiyero chekubvumirwa kwaTruman chakaisa rekodhi yakaderera kuti isatorerwe kusvika pasachigaro chaGeorge W. Bush.
Hondo isingazivikanwe "yakakanganikwa" yakadhura Korea mamirioni maviri hupenyu hwevanhu uye masoja eUnited States 37,000, uku achichinja Seoul nePyongyang kuita murwi wemarara. Vazhinji vevakafa vaive vauraiwa padhuze nepadhuze, vakaurayiwa vasina zvombo uye neropa rinotonhora nemativi ese. Uye muganho wakadzokera chaiko kwawakange uri, asi ruvengo rwakananga kumuganhu iwoyo rwakawedzera zvakanyanya. Hondo payakapera, isina kuita zvakanaka kune chero munhu kunze kwevagadziri vezvombo, "vanhu vakabuda kubva mumarara-kufanana mumapako uye mumatanho kuti vawane dambudziko mumagetsi ezuva."
Uye hapana runyararo rwakamboitwa nenzira. Hondo yacho inoenderera zviri pamutemo nanhasi. IUS haina kumbobva kuSouth, haina kumbobvira yachengeta nyika yakakamurwa sepamberi pehondo, haina kumbosiya kuraira kwemauto eSouth Korea, haina kumborega kutyisidzira nekutsamwisa North. Chirevo chazvino chePentagon chechikonzero chayo chekuvapo chinosanganisira North Korea seimwe yenyika ina iyo inobvuma kuti haina basa nekurwira United States asi iyo iriko irimo "zvine chekuita nezvechengetedzo."
Vanhu veKorea havachadi "rubatsiro". Zvakwana. Mushure memakore makumi manomwe, vasiyei vakadaro.
