Semurwi wenguva yeVietnam, ndakanyatsoteerera kune Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel's Veterans Day kutaura, yakapiwa paVietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. Munyori Hagel, murwi wehondo yeVietnam, akataura kuti tinofanira kudzidza zvidzidzo zvehondo dzakapfuura, uye kwete kuita mauto eUS kumakakatanwa asingafarirwe, asingakundiki. Akataura nezve Hondo yeVietnam, asi anogona kunge ari kutsanangura zviri nyore basa reUS kuIraq neAfghanistan.
Hurumende yeUS nemauto sezviri pachena vakazvirasisa ivo vachitsausa vanhu vekuAmerica, vachiti mabasa aya aidiwa, aive nezvinangwa zvakajeka uye aikunda. SekuVietnam, vakanyepa nezvekufambira mberi kwavo muIraq neAfghanistan. Paiva nechiedza pamagumo emugero wacho, takaudzwa, kana tikangobvumira kumwezve “kuvhiya” kumwe.
Kubata kweUS kweIraq neAfghanistan kwauya nemutengo wakakura. Mabhirioni pamabhiriyoni emadhora, aidiwa zvikuru pakuvandudzwa kwehupenyu hwevanhu vekuAmerica, akaraswa pavatungamiriri vane huori uye makondirakiti ekudzivirira. Vanosvika miriyoni yeIraqi nemaAfghan, kunyanya vanhuwo zvavo, vakarasikirwa neupenyu. Mamwe mamiriyoni akava vapoteri vasina pokugara uye nherera.
Zviuru zvitanhatu zvemauto eUS akarasikirwa nehupenyu muAfghanistan neIraq, uye huwandu hwakatokura hwatora hupenyu hwavo kubva pavakadzoka kubva kuhondo. Mazana ezviuru zvevarwi vehondo vacharamba vachitambura nemaronda emuviri, epfungwa uye etsika, uye vazhinji vari kubatana nevarwi veVietnam vachiri kugara mumigwagwa yemaguta edu.
Zvikuru zvakabudirira zveaya mabasa eUS kwave kusimbaradzwa kweTaliban muAfghanistan, kusikwa kweuto reISIL muIraq neSyria, uye kukonzeresa ropa, hondo dzevagari vemo dzinozoenderera kwemakore anotevera.
Saka tadzidza here zvidzidzo zvenhoroondo sezvakayambira Secretary Hagel paVeterans Day? Sezviri pachena kwete. Mutungamiri Obama vakazivisa svondo rino kuti vabvumidza kutumira mamwe mauto e1500 kuIraq ("pakukumbira kwaMunyori Hagel"). General Martin Dempsey, Sachigaro weJoint Chiefs of Staff, akaudza Congress svondo rino kuti “zvamazvirokwazvo tiri kufunga” kuendeswa kwemauto eUS kuIraq.
Zvichakadaro, US iri kuita chirongwa chekubhomba chakakura chinopesana nezvinangwa zveISIL kwete muIraq chete, asi muSyria, uko vanhu vanopfuura mazana masere nemakumi mashanu vakaurayiwa nemabhomba eUS, kusanganisira vanhu vazhinji.
Vatungamiri vedu vemauto nemauto vari kufuratira zvakajeka chidzidzo chepakati chekukundwa kweUS muVietnam: mabhomba eUS nemauto haagone kukunda mhirizhonga mune dzimwe nyika; vanhu vomunyika idzodzo chete ndivo vanokwanisa kuzvisarudzira ramangwana ravo. Uyezve, iyo US haina kodzero, zviri pamutemo kana tsika, yekupinda dzimwe nyika.
Kana hurumende yedu ikaramba kudzidza zvidzidzo izvi, vanhu vanofanira kuita kuti manzwi edu anzwike. Hatigone kubvumira hurumende yedu kuti irambe ichibhejera neropa redu rinokosha uye pfuma, ichipeta kaviri pasi pemitemo yakakundikana.
Veterans For Peaceiri kutumira meseji kuWhite House neCongress. Taneta nehondo dzisina musoro. Tinoda kubviswa kwemauto ese kubva kuIraq neAfghanistan. Isu tinopokana kumwe kubatanidzwa kweUS muhondo yemasekete muSyria.
Kufanana nemamiriyoni evarwi vehondo dzakawanda dzeUS, isu tinotenda kuti yave nguva yekuti hurumende yedu idzidze zvidzidzo zvenhoroondo. Panzvimbo pekuramba tichitsvaga kupindira kwemauto panzvimbo yezvinonzi "zvido zveUS" (kazhinji zvido zvevapfumi 1%, vakatengwa neropa revarombo 1%), tinotenda kuti kuratidza ruremekedzo kune rusununguko rwemamwe marudzi ndiko. nzira yeramangwana rakanaka revanhu vese, kumusha nekune dzimwe nyika.
