Kwapera gore kusvika zuva risati raurayiwa, Martin Luther King pachena uye zvine mutsindo akashora kwete chete hondo yeUS muVietnam asi mauto akagonesa hondo nekukanganisa nzanga yeAmerica. Mambo Kunze kweVietnam mharidzo, yakapiwa musi wa4 Kubvumbi, 1967, kuNew York's Riverside Church, yaifembera sezvayaiva nesimba uye neuporofita. Zvarinoreva uye kukosha zviriko nhasi sezvazvaiva zvakaita makore anoda kusvika 55 apfuura.
Mambo akanyatso sunga pamwe chete mauto akawandisa uye anoraira eUS nemadhimoni ehupfumi, magariro netsika ari kutambudza America. Zvakawanda sezvakaitwa neMutungamiri Dwight Eisenhower mune yake chisarai kero makore matanhatu apfuura, Mambo akatanga kujekesa hunyengeri hwechokwadi chehondo iyoyo kuburikidza kwete chete nehondo dzemhiri kwemakungwa uye nekutonga kwemauto-maindasitiri akaoma asi kudzikisira nekudzikira kwazvakaita kuvanhu veAmerica. Mambo akanzwisisa uye akazivisa hondo muVietnam se "chirwere chakadzika mukati memweya weAmerica." Kufa kunonyadzisa uye kunotyisa kwayakaunza mhiri kwemakungwa kwaive chinhu chekuparara kweAmerica. Akapfupikisa zvinangwa zvake mukupikisa hondo yeVietnam sekuedza kuponesa mweya weAmerica.
Kunyanya sezviri pachena, pakanga paine kuparadzwa kwepanyama uye kwepfungwa kweVietnamese, pamwe nekuparadzwa kwemhuri dzekushanda dzeAmerica. Pakasvika Kubvumbi 1967, vanopfuura 100 vokuAmerica, vazhinji vavo vatingarondedzera zvakarurama sevakomana, kwete varume, vaiurawa vhiki nevhiki muVietnam. Sezvatakapisa vanhu vokuVietnam nenapalm, takanga tichi“zadza misha yeUnited States nenherera nechirikadzi.” Avo vaidzoka vachibva “kunhandare dzehondo dzine rima uye dzine ropa [vakanga] vakaremara mumuviri uye vavhiringidzika mupfungwa.” Mhedzisiro yemhirizhonga iyi yemhiri kwemakungwa munharaunda yeAmerica yaive yakafanoona sezvo yakaratidza kuzviparadza. Mambo vakayambira vachiti:
Hatichakwanisi kunamata mwari woruvengo kana kuti kukotama pamberi peatari yokutsiva. Makungwa enhau akaitwa kuti anyanye kuvhiringidzika nemafungu anoramba achikwira oruvengo. Uye nhau yakazadzwa nokuparara kwamarudzi navanhu vakaronda iyi nzira yokuzvikunda yoruvengo.
Mambo akanzwisisa kuti mhirizhonga yeAmerica mhiri kwemakungwa uye kumba kwaisangova kuratidzwa kweumwe neumwe asi vaipindirana uye vachisimbisana. Mumharidzo yake yezuva iroro, Mambo akanga asiri kungotaura chete nemamiriro ezvinhu ehondo iyoyo muVietnam chete asi aitsanangura kupenga mukati mezvematongerwo enyika eAmerica, hupfumi uye tsika dzaive dzisina muganhu wenguva kana kutevedzera chizvarwa. Makore makumi mashanu namashanu gare gare, hondo dzakapfuurira mose muri muviri mumusha nokunze. Kubva 1991, US yakaitisa Kupfuura 250 mabasa emauto kunze kwenyika. Mukuuraya uye kuparadza, tinoona muUS makumi ezviuru anopondwa gore negore uye nenyika pakukura vagari vomujeri.
King akacherekedza kuti mhirizhonga iyi yakabvumidza sei kusateererwa kwetsika dzemarudzi muUS, sezvo zvinhu zvese zvichiva pasi pechinangwa chemhirizhonga. Varume vechidiki vatema nevachena, vaisazobvumidzwa kugara munzvimbo dzakafanana kana kuenda kuzvikoro zvakafanana muUS, vaive, muVietnam, vakakwanisa kupisa dzimba dzevarombo veVietnam mu "kubatana kwakashata." Hurumende yake yakanga iri “muchengedzeri mukurusa wechisimba munyika.” Mukutsvaga kwehurumende yeAmerica mhirizhonga iyoyo, zvimwe zvinhu zvese zvinofanirwa kuitwa pasi, kusanganisira kugara zvakanaka kwevanhu vayo.
Kuna Mambo, varombo vekuAmerica vaive vavengi vazhinji vehurumende yeAmerica seVietnamese. Zvisinei, hondo yeAmerica nemauto zvaiva nevabatsiri sezvavakaita vavengi. Muchingava chikamu chakakurumbira zvikuru chemharidzo yake, Mambo anofanotaura nhevedzano chaiyoiyo youipi: “Apo michina nemakombiyuta, vavariro dzemhindu uye maruramiro epfuma, zvinorangarirwa kuva zvinokosha zvikuru kupfuura vanhu, hofori huru nhatu dzorusaruraganda, kudisa zvenyika kwakanyanyisa, uye hondo. havakwanisi kukurirwa.”
Utatu uhu husina hutsvene hwerusaruraganda, kuda zvinhu, uye mauto nhasi hunotsanangura uye hunotonga nzanga yedu. Ruvengo runoparidzwa nebato rezvematongerwo enyika revachena rinonyanya kuenderera mberi rinosvika pane zvakapfuura pasocial media uye zviito zveugandanga zvemunhu mumakwikwi ezvematongerwo enyika akabudirira uye mutemo unoshanda zvine hutsinye. Tinoona nekunzwa hutatu hwehuipi mumisoro yenhau, munharaunda, nemhuri dzedu. Kukunda zvine mutsindo musarudzo nematare edzimhosva zverusununguko zviri kumiswa. Urombo huchiri kutsanangura nharaunda dzevatema, dzebrown uye dzechivanhu; varombo pakati pedu kazhinji vanamai vasina murume. Mhirizhonga, ingave iri kuuraya kwemapurisa kwevanhu vatema nevatema vasina zvombo, mhirizhonga mudzimba pamusoro pevakadzi, kana mhirizhonga yemumugwagwa inoitirwa ngochani nevanotadzira vanhu, inoenderera pasina tsitsi kana kururamisira.
Tinozviona mune zvinokosheswa nehurumende yedu. Zvakare, zvinhu zvese zvinofanirwa kuve pasi pekutsvaga mhirizhonga. Mutongo unozivikanwa zvikuru waMambo wemharidzo iyoyo yaApril 4, “Rudzi runopfuurira gore negore kushandisa mari yakawanda mukuzvidzivirira muchiuto kupfuura kuzvirongwa zvekusimudzira nzanga yava kusvika parufu rwomudzimu,” hairambiki. Kwemakore, hurumende yeUS yakashandisa yakawanda yebhajeti rayo muhondo uye mauto pane kugarisana kwevanhu vayo. Pamadhora 1.7 bhiriyoni akatorwa neCongress yeUS nguva yeKisimusi yapfuura, anenge 2/3, $ 1.1 trillion, inoenda kuPentagon nemutemo. Muzana rino rose rezana, non-defense-related discretionary Kushandiswa kwemari nehurumende yeFederal kwagara kwakadzikama kana kudzikira, kunyangwe huwandu hweUS hwakakura ne50 miriyoni.
Mibairo yekukosheswa kwemhirizhonga uku haidzivisiki sezvairi kusvibisa. Mazana ezviuru veAmerica vakafa muCOVID denda kubva mukutadza kubhadhara hutano. Sezvo Congress yakabvumira kuwedzera kwe $ 80 bhiriyoni yePentagon muna Zvita, yakacheka kudya kwemasikati kwechikoro mapurogiramu. 63% veAmerica vanorarama mubhadharo wekubhadhara, nekuwedzera kwegore-madhijitari akawanda emitengo yepamusoro senge hutano, dzimba, zvekushandisa uye dzidzo; makambani anoita rekodhi purofiti uye zvishoma kubhadhara mitero. Hupenyu hunotarisirwa hwevanhu vekuAmerica hwadzikira 2 ½ makore mumakore maviri, sezvakangoita wekutanga uye wechitatu mukurusa vaurayi vevana vedu ipfuti uye kuwandisa ...
Ndakatsanangura mharidzo yaMambo seine simba, uprofita uye kufungidzira. Zvaivewo zvechimbichimbi uye zvinokurudzira. King akadana "shanduko yechokwadi yetsika" kusimudzira, kudzinga uye kutsiva uipi hwerusaruraganda, kudisa zvenyika uye zvechiuto zvinotonga hurumende yeAmerica nenzanga. Akatara nhanho chaidzo uye akatsanangura kupedzisa hondo muVietnam sezvaakaraira mishonga yehurwere hwemweya weAmerica. Hatina kuvatevera.
Mambo vakanzwisisa kwaizoenda America kupfuura Vietnam. Akaziva uye akataura chokwadi chehutatu hwehuipi, rufu rwemweya wenyika uye hondo yekurwisa varombo. Akanzwisisa kuti izvo chaizvoizvo zvakanga zviri chisarudzo chenzanga uye kuti zvaizoipa sei, uye akataura kudaro. Martin Luther King akapondwa gore kusvika pazuva nekuda kwekutaura kwakadaro.
