Zviri nyore kwazvo muUnited States kuwana pfuti, kutsvaga nzvimbo dzekudzidzira kudzishandisa, uye kuwana varairidzi vanoda kukudzidzisa iwe kuishandisa. Hapana chikonzero chekutaurirana nemauto eUS kuitira kuti upfeke uye uite sekunge uri muchiuto, sezvinoitwa nevakawanda vanopfura, vamwe vavo vachirwira yavo yekunyepedzera kurwa nevatorwa kana mamwe mapoka. Asi zvinoshamisira kuti kanokwana makumi matatu neshanu muzana yeUS mashoma vapfuri (uye pamwe zvingangoita zvakanyanya) vakadzidziswa nemauto eUS.
Izvo zvakaenzana zvinoshamisa kuti, kunyangwe ndanga ndichivandudza uye ndichinyora nezvenyaya iyi kwemakore, zvakacheneswa-kubva kuUS media. Mumishumo yekupfura kwevanhu vazhinji, chero kutaurwa kwekubatana nemauto eUS kazhinji kacho konyorwa kezasi. Muzviitiko zvakawanda, ini handizive, nekutsvagurudza kwangu kushoma, kuti anga ari wekupfura muhondo kana kuti kwete. Ichi chikonzero nei huwandu hwangu hwe36% hungave hwakaderera. Nezve mapatani mukuwandisa-kupfura, nhepfenyuro nhepfenyuro dzinotiudza, naizvozvowo zvavanofanirwa, nezve kuwana pfuti, mhando dzepfuti, zvinyorwa zvematsotsi, marekodhi ehutano hwepfungwa, misogyny, rusaruraganda, zera, bonde, uye zvimwe zvinoitika zvevapfuri. Dai vapfuri vazhinji vanga vasina mutsvuku-zvisingaenzaniswi, ngochani, vegan, kuruboshwe-ruoko, kana vateveri vebhasikiti isu tinotadza kuzviziva. Kukosha kwayo kwaizove kusinganzwisisike, asi isu taizozviziva. Asi chokwadi chekuti anopfuura chikamu chimwe muzvitatu chavo, uye pamwe zvimwe, vakadzidziswa zvine hunyanzvi mukuuraya hazvitaurike, zvisinei nekukosha kuri pachena uye hunhu hunofungidzirwa hwetsika "yekutevera sainzi" chero kwainotungamira.
Isu tinogara tichiudzwa kuti vazhinji vanopfura vanowanzova varume, pasina kana kutya pamusoro pekugona kwekukonzera ruvengo rwevarume, vazhinji vacho vasiri vazhinji vanopfura, uye vazhinji vacho vangatoda kufa pane kuva vapfuri vazhinji. Isu tinogara tichiudzwa kuti vapfuri vazhinji vaive nepfuti uye vaifarira pfuti, kuti vaive nenyaya dzehutano hwepfungwa, uye kuti vaive vakasurukirwa, vasingazeze kana nekumbopokana kuti tingave tichiunza rusaruro kune varidzi vepfuti kana varwere vehutano hwepfungwa kana vatangiri. Isu tinowanzoziva kuti vanhu vazhinji havataure zvisakanaka, kuti vanhu vazhinji vanozobata - kunyangwe vasina kubvumidzwa - kune chokwadi chekuti chidiki chidiki chezana muzana muzana chevarwi vemauto vari vapfuri vazhinji haitiudze chero chinhu nezve vese veterans, chete sezvavanenge vachida kutora pamusoro pekuti ruzhinji rwevapfuri vazhinji havasi varwi, izvo nenzira imwecheteyo hazvitiudze chinhu nezve vese vasiri varwi. Asi chikonzero chekusambotaura nezvechiverengero chinokatyamadza mumusoro wenyaya uri pamusoro ingangova njodzi yekugadzira rusaruro kurwisa veterans.
Amai Jones magazini yakagadzirisa yayo Database yeUS vakawanda kupfura. Ini ndarodhaunirodha ndikaita shanduko shoma, ndisati ndatumira pano.
Shanduko huru yandakaita yanga iri yekuwedzera ikholamu inoratidza kana mupfuri aive murwi wemauto eUS. Ini ndadzimawo zvimwe zvezviitiko zvekupfura, ndichideredza runyorwa kubva pa121 kusvika pa106 kupfura. Ndakaita izvi, sezvakangoitika pachiitiko chakapfuura, kuti ndikwanise kuenzanisa chaizvo neruzhinji rwevanhu. Ini handina kuverenga kupfura kuchangobva kuitika muColorado nekuti hapana chiteshi chevhepfenyuro hachisati chatumidza munhu anofungidzirwa. Vashoma vakadzi vashoma muhondo kana vanopfura, uye zviitiko zvekupfurwa nevakadzi zvinoita kunge vashoma kuti vaenzanise kubva. Tichitarisa kune varume chete, iyo muzana avo vari veterans muhuwandu hweUS vanosiyana zvakanyanya nezera reboka. Nekudaro, ndakabvisa kupfura nevakadzi kana nevarume vari pasi pegumi nemasere kana kudarika makumi mashanu nemapfumbamwe. Ndasiya mupfuti imwe yakaitwa nemurume nemukadzi achimubatsira. Ndabvisa zvekare kupfura kumwe kwakange kuri kurwiswa kwemauto eU.S. nemupfuri akaberekerwa kune dzimwe nyika, sezvo zvinoita sekusina basa kubvunza kana iye mupfura anga ari muchiuto cheUS. Sezvo blowback, zvisinei, iko kupfura kwaisanganisira mauto eUS zvakanyanya sevamwe.
Tichitarisa kupfura makumi maviri nenhanhatu mudhatabhesi rasara, ndakamaka makumi matatu nesere senge dzakazvipira nemauto eUS. Muzviitiko zvitatu, izvi zvinoratidza murwi weJROTC, mumwe wavo anogona kana angave asina kumbobvira apinda muchiuto. Vatatu ava vakadzidziswa kupfura vachibhadharirwa neruzhinji nemauto eU.S. Mumwe wavo aive mupfuri muSpanish, Missouri, munaKurume 106. Kana ichi ndiye, akaenda kune imwe yenyika yepamusoro boarding zvikoro yekudzidzira pfuti, iyo Mauto uye Navy Academy.
Ini handina kusanganisira sevamiriri vekupfura avo vanga vari magadhi ekuchengetedza kana varindi vejeri. Ini handina kusanganisira sevamiriri vevapfura vaive pachinyorwa vachitsanangura mhosva yavo yeramangwana nenzira yakajeka muchiuto sekunge vari kutora chikamu uye vachidoma nezita mauto eUS, kunze kwekunge ndaona kuti vanga vari mumauto eU.S. Ini ndasiya pane runyorwa rwe106 vashoma vanoverengeka vanozvarwa vekunze vanopfura, vanogona kana vasina kudzidziswa nemauto ekunze, uye vamwe vacho vangadai vasina kujoina zviri pamutemo mauto eU.S. hapana chimwe cheizvi chiri pakati pe makumi matatu nemasere akaratidzirwa semhare. Zvakare pakati pevane gumi neviri pane varume vaviri kana vaviri vakaedza kujoina mauto eU.S. uye vakarambwa; havaverengerwe pakati pemakumi matatu nemana emhare. Anenge mumwe chete pakati pevane zana nevapfumbamwe akashanda panzvimbo yeU.S. Navy asi kwete senhengo yemasoja eU.S. haaverengerwi semhare. Kunyanya kukosha, ini handina kukwanisa kuona chinzvimbo chemauto neimwe nzira kana imwe yacho kune vazhinji vevanopfura vari pachirongwa; zvinokwanisika kuti vanopfuura makumi matatu nemasere vaive varwi vemauto. Iwo makumi matatu nemasere akaratidzirwa seveve veterans ingori avo vandaigona kuona kuti vaive veterans nekuverenga nhau dzenhau.
Mhedzisiro yeizvi zvese ndeyekuti, neiyi dhatabhesi yakavandudzwa, makumi matatu muzana evapfuri veUS vakawanda (vega, murume, 36-18) varwi vekare. Kana isu tikasiya vatatu avo vangori mavetera eJROTC, isu tichiri kuwana 59% kuve veterans. Mukupesana, 33% yehuwandu hwevanhu (murume, 14.76-18) veterans. Nekudaro, mupfuri wepasuru anodarika kaviri zvingangoita kuve muhondo wemauto.
Zvinoita here kuti vamwe veaya ma veteran vasina kudzidziswa kupfura nepfuti nemauto uye vaifanira kuzvidzidza kumwe kunhu? Chero chinhu chinogoneka, asi izvi hazvigoneke, uye mune akati wandei isu tinoziva zvimwe zvemashoko ekudzidziswa kwavo mukushandisa pfuti.
Pasina basa kutaura, kana kuti, ndinoshuva dai zvaive zvisina basa kutaura, veterans zvakanyanya kuwanda vanhu vanopfura. Vazhinji veterans - vangangoita vese veterans - HAVASI vakawanda vanopfura. Saizvozvowo, avo vane hutano hwepfungwa zvakanyanya kukunda vazhinji vanopfura. Vanenge vese vanhu vane matambudziko ehutano hwepfungwa, kana vese varume vakashungurudza vakadzi, kana vese varume, kana vese varidzi vepfuti, HAVASI vapfuri vakawanda.
Hazvina basa kutaura, kana kuti, ndinoshuva dai zvainge zvisina basa kutaura, zvinopfuura chimwe chinokonzera kupfura kwevanhu vakawanda kunogona kukodzera kugadzirisa.
Hazvina basa kutaura, kana kuti, ndinoshuva kuti dai zvainge zvisina basa kutaura, vanhu vanofarira kupfura vanhu vazhinji vanogona kungoitawo zvekujoinha mauto, zvichiita kuti hukama hwacho huwirirane kwete chikonzero. Muchokwadi, ndingadai ndakakatyamadzwa dai pakange pasina chimwe chokwadi kune icho. Asi zvinokwanisika kuti kuve nekudzidziswa uye kugadziriswa uye kupihwa kujairirana nekupfurwa kwevanhu - uye mune dzimwe nguva ruzivo rwekuita kupfura kwevanhu vazhinji uye nekuita senge kunogamuchirwa kana kurumbidzwa - kunoita kuti mumwe awedzere kupfura vakawanda. Handikwanise kufungidzira kuti hapana chokwadi mune izvo.
