NaDavid Swanson we The Humanist

Usapemberere Zuva reVeterans. Pemberera Zuva reArmistice panzvimbo.

Usapemberere Zuva reVeterans - nekuda kwezvave zvave, uye zvakatonyanya kudaro nekuda kwezvaakatsiva uye kudzima mutsika dzeUS.

Aimbova Mutungamiri weAmerican Humanist Association, Kurt Vonnegut akambonyora kuti: “Zuva reArmistice rakanga riri dzvene. Veterans 'Zuva harisi. Saka ini ndichakanda Veterans 'Zuva pamusoro pefudzi rangu. Zuva reArmistice ini ndichachengeta. Handidi kurasa zvinhu zvitsvene. ” Vonnegut inorehwa ne "chinoyera" chinoshamisa, chakakosha, chakakosha kukosheswa. Akanyora Romeo naJuliet uye mimhanzi sezvinhu "zvinoyera".

Chaizvoizvo paawa regumi nerimwe regumi nerimwe remwedzi wegumi nemana, muna11, makore zana apfuura uyu kuuya kwaNovember 11, vanhu muEurope vakangoerekana vamira kupfura pfuti. Kusvika panguva iyoyo, ivo vaiuraya nekutora mabara, kudonha nekupopota, kuchema nekufa, kubva kumabara uye nemweya une chepfu. Uye vakabva vamira, na11: 1918 mangwanani, zana ramakore rapfuura. Vakamira, panguva. Zvaisave kuti vanga vaneta kana kupengenuka. Vese pamberi uye mushure me100 o'clock ivo vaingoteedzera mirairo. Chibvumirano cheArmistice chakapera Hondo Yenyika I chakamisikidza 11 o'clock seyakasiya nguva, danho rakatendera vamwe varume zviuru gumi nezviviri kuti vaurawe mumaawa matanhatu pakati pechibvumirano neawa rakatarwa.

Asi iyo awa mumakore akatevera, iyo nguva yekuguma kwehondo iyo yaifanirwa kupedza hondo dzese, iyo nguva iyo yakanga yatanga kupemberera kwepasirese kwemufaro uye kwekudzoreredzwa kwechimwe chimiro chehutano, yakava nguva kunyarara, kwekuchema kwebhero, kwekurangarira, uye kwekuzvitsaurira pachako kupedza hondo yese. Izvo ndizvo zvaive Zuva reArmistice. Yakanga isiri mhemberero yehondo kana yeavo vanotora chikamu muhondo, asi yenguva iyo hondo yapera.

Congress yakapa chisungo cheZuva reArmistice muna 1926 ichidaidzira kuti “zviitwa zvakaitirwa kuti rugare ruvepo nekuda kwekunzwisisa pamwe nekunzwisisana… kukoka vanhu veUnited States kuti vacherechedze zuva iri muzvikoro nemumachechi nemhemberero dzakakodzera dzehukama hwehukama nevamwe vanhu vese.” Gare gare, Congress yakawedzera kuti Mbudzi 11th yaifanira kuve "zuva rakakumikidzwa kuchinangwa cherunyararo rwenyika."

Isu hatina mazororo mazhinji akatsaurirwa kurunyararo zvekuti isu tinogona kubhadhara kungosiya rimwe chete. Dai United States yaimanikidzwa kubvisa zororo rehondo, ingadai iine akawanda okusarudza kubva, asi zororo rerunyararo haringokuri pamiti. Zuva raAmai rakadonhedzwa nezvarinoreva zvepakutanga. Martin Luther King Day akaumbwa akatenderedza caricature iyo inosiya zvese kukurudzira runyararo. Armistice Zuva, zvisinei, riri kudzoka zvakare.

Zuva reArmistice, sezuva rekupokana nehondo, rakange ragara muUnited States kumusoro kuburikidza nema1950 uye kunyange rakareba kune dzimwe nyika pasi pezita Remembrance Day. Yakanga iri chete mushure mekunge United States yatora Japan, yakaparadza Korea, yakatanga Hondo Yemashoko, yakagadzira iyo CIA, uye ikamisikidza chigaro chemauto chemabhizimusi chine zvigaro zvechigarire pasi rese, apo hurumende yeUS yakatumidza zita reArmistice Day seVeterans Day muna Chikumi 1, 1954.

Veterans Day haisisiri, kune vanhu vazhinji, zuva rekufara kupera kwehondo kana kunyangwe kushuvira kubviswa kwayo. Zuva reVeterans harisi kana zuva rekuchema vakafa kana kubvunza kuti sei kuzviuraya kuri pamusoro pekuuraya mauto eUS kana kuti nei varwi vazhinji vasina dzimba. Zuva reVeterans harisi kushambadzirwa senge pro-hondo kupemberera. Asi zvitsauko zveVeterans For Peace zvakarambidzwa mune mamwe madiki uye makuru maguta, gore rimwe nerimwe, kubva mukutora chikamu muVeterans Day parade, nechikonzero chekuti vanopokana nehondo. Veterans Day kuratidzira uye zviitiko mumaguta mazhinji zvinorumbidza hondo, uye zvese kurumbidza kutora chikamu muhondo. Vanenge vese maVeterans Zuva zviitiko ndezve nyika. Vashoma vanosimudzira "hukama hwehukama nevamwe vanhu vese" kana kushandira kugadzirwa kwe "rugare rwenyika."

Yakanga iri yezuva rinouya reVeterans iro Mutungamiri Donald Trump akange aronga hombe yezvombo zvekuratidzira mumigwagwa yeWashington, DC - chikumbiro chakamiswa nemufaro mushure mekunge chasangana nevanopikisa uye pamwe pasina kushingairira kubva kuruzhinji, vezvenhau, kana vemauto.

Veterans Verunyararo, pane avo mazano bhodhi wandinoshandira, uye World BEYOND War, iyo ini ndiri director wayo, masangano maviri ari kusimudzira kudzoreredzwa kweZuva reArmistice, uye kubatsira mapoka uye vanhu kuwana zviwanikwa zvekubata zviitiko zveArmistice Day.

Mune tsika umo mapurezidhendi neterevhizheni network vasina hunyengeri hwechiratidziro-uye-chekutaura chiitiko muchikoro chekutanga, zvirinani kukosha kutaura kuti kuramba zuva rekupemberera veterans hachisi chinhu chakafanana nekusika zuva rekuvenga veterans. Izvo zvazviri, sekurongwa pano, nzira yekudzorera zuva rekupemberera runyararo. Shamwari dzangu muVeterans For Peace vakaita nharo kwemakumi emakore kuti nzira yakanakisa yekushandira veterans ingangove yekurega kuumba yakawanda yadzo.

Chikonzero ichocho, chekumira kuumba varwi vazhinji, chinokanganiswa nekuparadzira kwemauto, nekukakavara kwekuti munhu anogona uye anofanira "kutsigira mauto" - izvo zvinowanzoreva kutsigira hondo, asi izvo zvingangoreva zvisingareve chinhu zvachose kana paine kupokana inomutswa kune zvarinoreva.

Izvo zvinodiwa, chokwadika, kuremekedza uye kuda munhu wese, mauto kana zvimwewo, asi kurega kutsanangura kutora chikamu mukuuraya kwakawanda - izvo zvinotiisa pangozi, zvinotitambudza, zvinoparadza nharaunda, zvinokanganisa rusununguko rwedu, zvinokurudzira xenophobia uye rusaruro nekusarura, njodzi kuuraya kukuru kwenyukireya, uye kunokanganisa kutonga kwemutemo - serumwe rudzi rwe "sevhisi" Kutora chikamu muhondo kunofanirwa kuchema kana kudemba, kwete kukosheswa.

Huwandu hukuru hweavo "vanopa hupenyu hwavo nekuda kwenyika yavo" nhasi muUnited States vanozviita kuburikidza nekuzviuraya. Iyo Veterans Administration yataura kwemakumi emakore kuti imwechete yakanangana nekuzviuraya kurwisa mhosva. Iwe hauzoone izvo zvakashambadzirwa mune mazhinji maVeterans Day Parade. Asi icho chinhu chinonzwisiswa nesangano riri kukura rekubvisa iyo yese institution yehondo.

Hondo Yenyika I, Hondo Huru (iyo yandinotora kuti ive huru mune ingangoita Make America Great Again pfungwa), yaive yekupedzisira hondo mune dzimwe nzira dzevanhu vachiri kutaura nekufunga nezvehondo dzaive zvechokwadi. Kuuraya uku kwakaitika zvikuru munhandare dzehondo. Vakafa vakapfuura vazhinji vakakuvadzwa. Vakakuvadzwa mumauto vakapfuura vanhuwo zvavo. Mativi maviri aya aive asiri, mazhinji acho, akashongedzerwa nemakambani akafanana ezvombo. Hondo yaive pamutemo. Uye vanhu vazhinji vakangwara vakatenda kuti hondo inoreva chokwadi uye vakachinja pfungwa. Zvese izvo zvinoenda nemhepo, kunyangwe isu tine hanya nekuzvibvuma kana kwete.

Hondo ikozvino kuuraya mativi, kunyanya kubva mumhepo, zvisiri pamutemo, pasina nhandare dzehondo dziri kuona - dzimba chete. Vakakuvadzwa vanodarika vakafa, asi hapana kurapwa kwakagadzirirwa maronda epfungwa. Nzvimbo dzinogadzirwa zvombo uye nenzvimbo panorwa hondo hadzina kumbobatana. Hondo zhinji dzine zvombo zveUS - uye vamwe vane varwi vakadzidziswa neUS - kumativi mazhinji. Ruzhinji rwevakafa uye vakakuvadzwa vanhuwo zvavo, sekushungurudzika uye avo vasina pekugara. Uye chirevo chinoshandiswa kusimudzira hondo yega yega chakapfekedzwa seyakare-zana-makore ekuti hondo inogona kupedza hondo. Runyararo runogona kupedza hondo, asi chete kana tichikoshesa nekuipemberera.
