Muna 1915, kuratidzira kwaamai pamusoro pokupinza vana muhondo kwakava musoro werwiyo rutsva rweAmerica, “.Handina Kurera Mukomana Wangu Kuva Musoja.” Kunyange zvazvo ballad yakawana mukurumbira mukuru, havasi vose vakaifarira. Theodore Roosevelt, murwi mukuru wemauto panguva iyoyo, akataura kuti nzvimbo yakakodzera yevakadzi vakadaro yaiva “mumusha wevakadzi—uye kwete muUnited States.”
Roosevelt angafara kuziva kuti, zana ramakore gare gare, kugadzirira vana nokuda kwehondo kunopfuurira kusingadzoreki.
Ndizvo chaizvo nyaya muRussia yanhasi, uko zviuru zvezvikwata zvinotsigirwa nehurumende zviri kubudisa inonzi “dzidzo yehondo-yekuda nyika” yevana. Zvichigamuchira vakomana nevasikana, makirabhu aya anovadzidzisa maekisesaizi echiuto, mamwe acho anoshandisa zvombo zvinorema. Mune rimwe taundi duku riri kunze kweSt. Petersburg, somuenzaniso, vana vanobvira pamakore mashanu kusvikira ku17 ezera vanopedza madekwana vachidzidza nzira yokurwa nayo nokushandisa zvombo zvehondo.
Kuedza uku kunowedzerwa neVoluntary Society of Cooperation neHondo, Air Force, uye Navy, iyo inogadzirira vadzidzi vechikoro chesekondari cheRussia basa rechiuto. Sangano iri rinoti, mugore rapfuura chete, rakabata 6,500 mauto ekuda nyika zviitiko uye kuendesa vanopfuura zviuru mazana maviri vechidiki kutora bvunzo ye "Ready for Labor and Defense". Mari yehurumende yebhajeti resosaiti yakakura, uye yakura zvakanyanya mumakore achangopfuura.
"Dzidzo yekuda nyika" yeRussia inobatsirawo kubva munhoroondo dzehondo dzinogara dzichiitika. Mukuru webazi reMoscow reAll-Russian Military History Movement akaona kuti mapoka anoitisa mitambo yakadaro anobetsera vanhu “kuziva kuti havagoni kupedza upenyu hwavo hwose vachitamba neKinder Eggs kana kuti Pokemon.”
Sezviri pachena ichigoverana pfungwa iyoyo, hurumende yeRussia yakavhura hombe mauto theme park muna June 2015 muKubinka, kweawa imwe nemotokari kubva kuMoscow. Inowanzo kunzi "Disneyland yemauto," Patriot Park yakaziviswa "chinhu chakakosha muhurongwa hwedu hwebasa rekuda nyika nevechidiki" neMutungamiri Vladimir Putin. Padivi pekuvhurwa uye achitsigirwa nekwaya yemauto, Putin akaunzawo mashoko akanaka ekuti zvombo zvinokandwa makumi mana zvepasi rose zvakanga zvawedzerwa kuzvombo zvenyukireya zveRussia. Maererano ne nhau dzakashuma, Patriot Park, kana yapera, ichaita $365 miriyoni uye kukwevera kusvika ku100,000 vashanyi pazuva.
Vaya vaipinda pakavhurwa pakavhurwa vakawana mitsara yematangi, vatakuri vevashandi vane zvombo, uye masisitimu ekukanda zvombo pakuratidzira, pamwe nekukwira kwematangi uye kupfura kwepfuti. zvinosimudzira zvakanyanya. “Paki iyi chipo kuvagari veRussia, avo zvino vanogona kuona simba rakazara remauto akashongedzerwa eRussia,” akadaro Sergei Privalov, mupristi weOrthodox yokuRussia. “Vana ngavauye kuno, vatambe nezvombo uye vakwire mumatangi uye vaone michina yechizvino-zvino.” Alexander Zaldostanov, mutungamiri weNight Wolves, chikwata chechisimba chebhasikoro chiri kuronga paki yakafanana, akati: “Zvino tose tinonzwa tiri pedyo neuto” uye ichocho “chinhu chakanaka.” Mushure mezvose, "kana tikasadzidzisa vana vedu isu America ichatiitira." Vladimir Kryuchkov, muratidziri wezvombo, akabvuma kuti zvimwe zvinokandwa zvinokandwa zvairemera vana vaduku zvikuru. Asi akaramba achiti magirinedhi madiki aizovaitira zvakanaka, achiwedzera kuti: “Vanhurume vose vemazera ose vadziviriri venyika uye vanofanira kunge vakagadzirira hondo.”
Zvechokwadi vakagadzirira muUnited States. Muna 1916, Congress yakagadzira Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC), iyo nhasi inobudirira muzvikoro zvapamusoro 3,500 XNUMX zvokuAmerica uye inonyoresa vana vokuAmerica vanopfuura hafu yemirioni. Zvimwe zvirongwa zvehurumende zvekudzidzisa zvechiuto zvinotoshanda mukati Zvikoro zvepakati zveUS. In JROTC, vadzidzi vanodzidziswa nevakuru vemauto, vanoverenga mabhuku anotenderwa nePentagon, vanopfeka yunifomu dzechiuto, uye vanoita maforamu echiuto. Mamwe maJROTC mayunitsi anotoshandisa otomatiki pfuti dzine mhenyu. Kunyangwe Pentagon ichivhara imwe mari yechirongwa ichi chinodhura, chasara chinotakurwa nezvikoro pachazvo. Iyi "chirongwa chekusimudzira vechidiki," sekudanwa kwainodanwa nePentagon, inobhadhara mauto kana vadzidzi veJROTC vakura vobatana nemauto-chiito chinofambiswa nenyaya yekuti vanotora mauto eUS vanowanzogara vari mumakirasi.
Kunyangwe kana vadzidzi vechikoro chesekondari vasingatore chikamu muzviitiko zveJROTC, vanotora mauto vanowana nyore kwavari. Chimwe chezvirongwa zve Hapana Mwana Akasiiwa ya2001 inoda kuti zvikoro zvepamusoro zvigovane mazita evadzidzi uye ruzivo rwekusangana nevanotora mauto kunze kwekunge vadzidzi kana vabereki vavo vabuda muurongwa uhwu. Pamusoro pezvo, mauto eUS anoshandisa mobile exhibits―izere nezviteshi zvemitambo, mahombe-screen terevhizheni seti, uye zvekurimisa zvombo-kusvika vana kuzvikoro zvepamusoro uye kumwewo. GI Johnny, chidhori chinofema, chinogaya-chema chakapfeka kuneta kweHondo, chave chiitiko chikuru pakati pevana vadiki. Maererano nomumwe anotora basa rechiuto, “vana vaduku vanonzwa vakasununguka zvikuru naJohnny.”
Muna 2008, mauto eUS, achiziva kuti nhandare dzevhidhiyo nemitambo yemunhu wekutanga kupfura yainyanya kufarirwa kupfuura nzvimbo dzayo dzekuverengera vanhu mumaguta ghettoes, yakatanga Army Experience Center, hofori yevhidhiyo arcade muFranklin Mills mall kunze kwePhiladelphia. Kuno vana vakanyura muhondo yehi-tech panzvimbo dzemakombuta uye mumahoro maviri makuru ekuenzanisa, mavaikwanisa kuchovha motokari dzeHumvee nezvikopokopo zveApache vopfura nzira yavo nemumasaisai e“vavengi.” Zvichakadaro, varwi vemauto vakatenderera nemapoka evechidiki, vachivanyorera kumauto.
Chaizvoizvo, yevhidhiyo vanogona kuita basa ririnani rekuita zvechiuto kupfuura zvinoitwa nevanotora basa. Yakagadzirwa dzimwe nguva mukushandira pamwe nevakuru vekondirakiti yezvombo, mitambo yemavhidhiyo yechisimba inotambwa nevana inonyadzisa vanopikisa uye inopa zvikonzero zvekuva "vapambadza". Ivo havangosimudzire hutsinye husina tsitsi hungangoitwa neWehrmacht ― ona, semuenzaniso, anozivikanwa zvikuru Tom Clancy's.
