A Tale of Two Marines

NaDavid Swanson

Vaya vechidiki vaviri vanogona kuva nenhamba isingagumi yezvinhu zvakafanana, asi zviito zvavatora vhiki ino hazviiti.

One raishandiswa purogiramu yehondo-yepasiti yebhasikiti yemukana kuramba kupembererwa kwemauto, uye kuratidzira kupesana kwehondo-kuparidzira mumitambo.

One yakava iyo ichangobva kuiswa "mass shooter" - iyo yandakaisa mumashoko ekudzokorora chete nokuti iye akanga atova mutsindo mukuru, asi akanga ari rudzi rwakagamuchirwa rwevanhu vakawanda.

Musi weChishanu manheru, vekare veUnited States Marine Josuee Hernandez vakarongerwa kuti varemekedzwe nekuda kwezvaanonzi service mubasa rePortland Trailblazers. Akasunungura jekete rake kuti aratidze shati nemashoko anopikisa achinyadzisa boka racho kubvuma mari kubva kune mutengesi wezvombo. Akaramba bhegi yezvikomborero zvaakapiwa. "Hatifaniri kunzwa tichiremekedzwa nekupiwa chipo chezvikwata ndokubva taenda pamberi pevateereri," akadaro Hernandez. Akaruramisa uye akashinga, uye zvichida (ini handizivi chinhu pamusoro pake, asi ndave ndichiziva vakawanda veterans) therapeutically zvakare.

Musi weChitatu manheru, vekare veUnited States Marine Ian David Long vakakundikana kurega kuita basa rake. Akanga achishanda nehurumende yeUnited States kupisa pfuti yemapurisa kuvanhu. Icho chakanga chiri basa rake kwemakore, uye chikamu chenguva iyoyo ainge apinda muhondo yeA Afghanistan. Akange apihwa zvikwereti nokuda kwebasa rakanaka raakanga aita mukurwa. Hapana ainge atsamwa. Hapana munhu akanga amudana mazita kana kuti akabvunzurudza utsanana hwake.

CNN haina musoro, "Thousand Oaks gunman akabva kuMarine vet kusvika kuhotera shoma. Vatsvakurudzi vanoda kuziva kuti sei, "inoita chakavanzika umo hakuna. Mubvunzo hausi kuti wakava sei mutsoropodzi wevanhu asi kuti vakawanda sei vakakwanisa kurega kuva vapfuri vemhomho.

Ian David Long akafa nenzira yakajairika yevatori vechikamu muhondo dzekupedzisira dzeUnited States, kureva nekuzviuraya. Misiyano ndeyekuti akauraya vazhinji vevanhu-avo-nyaya pakutanga. Asi izvi, zvakare, hazvisi zvisiri izvo sezvatingada. Zvichida 35% (zvichida zvakawanda, uye zvinoratidzika zvichikwira) zvevanhu veSouth mass shooters vakadzidziswa neuto reUnited States.

Fungidzira kana 35% yevarwi vakawanda veUnited States vaiva. . . chero chinhu chipi zvacho: dema, Asia, Muslim, atheist, vakadzi, vapfumi, vatorwa, vhudzi tsvuku, Latino, gay. . . unogona kufungidzira here? Inenge iri iyo nyaya inotungamirira nyaya yevhiki. Panozove nezvigaro zvakapiwa kumayunivhesiti kuti zvidzidze. Asi chokwadi chokuti vazhinji vevaurayi varume avo vakarovedzwa kuuraya nehurumende inotungamirira kuuraya musangano haisi kungofanirwa kutaurirwa, asi inoratidzwa mune imwe neimwe yakasarudzwa sechinhu chisingazikamwi chinotsanangurwa mune mamwe mazwi.

Chimbofungidzira kana kuwedzera kwekufa kwekufa kubva kune idzi dzose kupfurikidza kusanganisira kwete mazana chete akaurayiwa mukati meUnited States asiwo mazana ezviuru akaurayiwa kunze kwaro. Fungidzira uchibata huwandu hwakawanda hwevarwere sekunge hwakakosha.

Nhaurirano yevanhu pamusoro pekutarisana nemhondi yevanhu vazhinji yakafanana nekunyengera sehurukuro yavose pamusoro pekuvaka imba yakasimba pamhenderekedzo. Kana iwe usingakwanisi kutaura nezvekurovedzwa kwevaurayi, uye iwe haungabvisi pfuti, uye iwe hauzoregi kuparadza mamiriro ekunze enyika, zvakasara ndezvoupenzi.

Kazhinji kupenga kunotora chimiro chekudzokorora uipi hunoenda husingatauri. Isai musungwa akachengeteka pamberi pezvivako zvose. Musi weChipiri mutemo iwoyo unongotsanangura zita remunhu wekutanga. Zvinogona kunyange (munhu anogona kungofungidzira chete) ataura muurayi ane chiitiko kana chirevo, chirevo chakanaka, chekutora "muvengi." Mhinduro yacho haisi kunyange varindi vakashonga zvombo.

Iyo mhinduro muhondo yeA Afghanistan inotonyanya kuuraya varwi. Hondo yeA Afghanistan inouya "kumba" kuCalifornia vhiki rino, asi vangani vanoziva izvozvo? Vanhu vangani vanoziva kuti hondo ichiri kurwisa? Vangani vanoziva kuti Obama akavimbisa kuwedzera uye akaita saizvozvo, uye kuti Trump yakavimbisa kuti ichaipedza uye yaizoiwedzera (kunyange zvishoma)? Vangani vakatsamwiswa apo Ian David Long aida kuuraya vaAfghan vega? Vangani vanoshungurudzwa nezviuru zvemauto eUnited States neNATO zvichiri mberi uko zvichiita kuti Afghanistan iwedzere uye kuunza hondo zvakare navo?

Vangani vanogona kuisa 2 uye 2 pamwe chete uye vanoziva kuti vatungamiri vehurumende vekuAmerica vakangobhadhara muA Afghanistan avo vanoti hondo inopesana nekubereka yakave yakarurama, zvokuti inogadzirisa vanhu chaivo vanofarira veterans pamitambo ye basketball - vanofara, ndiko kuti, chero bedzi ivo veterans vasingatendi kumira?
