Mbudzi 11th muUnited States yakaratidzirwa uye yakashatiswa nezororo iro nguva pfupi yadarika rakashandurwa zita raro kuva "Veterans Day" uye chinangwa chayo chakashandurwa nekutsveyamiswa kuita kupemberera hondo. Gore rino "Kutaurirana kweValor”Ichaitirwa kuNational Mall muWashington, DC
Mubhokisi kurudyi pane bhururu kubva pawebhusaiti yekonzati. "Maita basa renyu" uye "Tsigira mauto" zvirevo zvinoshandiswa kuti vanhu vatsigire hondo vasina kufunga nezvekuti vanofanirwa kunge vachitsigira hondo. Ziva kuti iwe unofanirwa kutanga watenda veterans uye kuvabvunza iyo hondo yavaive uye nezvavakaita mairi mumashure. Ko kana iwe uchipokana nehondo? Kana kuti ko kana iwe uchipokana nedzimwe hondo uye mamwe maitiro?
Heinoi iyo mhinduro inosemesa kune iyo Konisheni yeValor kubva kune veteran uyo anorwara nekutendwa nekuda kwezvaanonzi sevhisi:
“Hapana mubvunzo kuti tinofanirwa kukudza vanhu vanorwira kururamisira nerusununguko. Vazhinji veterans vakapinda muchiuto vachifunga kuti zvechokwadi vaishandira chinangwa chakanaka, uye hachisi manyepo kutaura kuti vakarwa neushingi hwehama nehanzvadzi dzavo kuruboshwe uye kurudyi. Nehurombo, vavariro dzakanaka panguva ino hadzisi chinotsiva matongerwo enyika akanaka. Hondo yekutyisa iri kupinda mugore rayo regumi nemana. Kana iwe uchinyatsoda kutaura nezve "kusimudzira kuzivisa," makore apfuura nguva apo chero munhu pano anokwanisa kunyepedzera kuti vedu vane makore gumi nemasere-vana vari kuenda kunouraya nekufa nechikonzero chakanaka. Ko zvakadii nezvema konzati akati kuti ubudise pfungwa iyoyo?
Ndiri kuzodzokorora pano chimwe chinhu chandataura mukati Hondo Iri Nhema:
Random House inotsanangudza gamba seinotevera (uye inotsanangura heroine nenzira imwechete, ichitsiva "mukadzi" kune "murume"):
"1. murume ane ushingi hwakakosha kana mano, anoyemura nokuda kwezviito zvake zveushingi uye unhu hwakanaka.
"2. munhu uyo, mumaonero evamwe, ane hunhu hunhu kana kuti akaita chiito chehushe uye anoonekwa semuenzaniso kana akanakisa: Aive gamba remunharaunda paakaponesa mwana anowira. . . .
"4. Classical Mythology.
"A. kubwinya kwehuMwari uye hune ruzivo uyo aiwanzokudzwa seumwari. "
Ushingi kana kugona. Zviito zvine ushingi uye hunhu hwakanaka. Pane chimwe chinhu chiri pano kupfuura kungova neushingi uye kushinga, kungotarisana nekutya nengozi. Asi chii? Gamba rinotariswa senzira kana yakakodzera. Zviri pachena kuti mumwe munhu akashinga kusvetuka 20-nyaya hwindo aisazosangana netsananguro iyo, kunyangwe kana ushingi hwavo hushingi sekushinga kwaingave nako. Zviripachena heroism inofanira kuda kushinga kwerudzi uko vanhu vanoona semuenzaniso ivo pachavo nevamwe. Inofanira kusanganisira kugona uye kugona. Ndokunge, kushinga hakugone kungova hushingi; zvinofanirawo kunge zvakanaka uye zvine mutsa. Kurovera kunze hwindo hakufanirwe. Mubvunzo, ipapoka, ndekuti kuuraya nekufa muhondo kunofanirwa kuve kwakanaka uye kwakanaka. Hapana munhu asina chokwadi kuti chakashinga uye chakashinga. Asi kwakanaka here muenzaniso seiya yemurume akasungwa svondo rino nekuda kwemhosva ye Kupa vane nzara chikafu?
Kana iwe ukatarisa kumusoro "kushinga" muduramazwi, nenzira, iwe unowana "ushingi" uye "hushingi." Ambrose Bierce's Duramazwi raDhiyabheri inotsanangura "vhudzi" se
"Chikamu chehondo chisingabatsiri, basa, uye tariro yebheja.
'Sei wakamira?' akatinhira mutungamiri wechitendero paChickamauga, uyo akanga araira mutero: 'famba mberi, changamire, kamwechete.'
'Hukuru,' akadaro mukuru wemauto anonyengedza, "Ndine chokwadi chekuti chero kuratidzwa kwesimba nemauto angu kuchavaita kuti varwe nemuvengi."
Asi ko hutsinye hwakadai hwaive hwakanaka uye hune mutsa here kana kuparadza nekupusa? Bierce aive zvake ave musoja weChimubati kuChikuamauga uye aive auya nekusemeswa. Makore mazhinji gare gare, apo zvave kugona kuburitsa nyaya nezve Hondo yeParadise iyo isina kupenya nekubwinya kutsvene kwemauto, Bierce akaburitsa nyaya inonzi "Chickamauga" mu 1889 mu San Francisco Muongorori izvo zvinoita kuti kutora chikamu muhondo yakadai kuoneke senge zvakaipa zvikuru uye zvinotyisa zviitwa zvingaitwe nemunhu. Varwi vazhinji kubvira vataura nyaya dzakafanana.
Zvinoda kuziva kuti hondo, chimwe chinhu chinogara chichirondedzerwa sechinhu chakaipa uye chinotyisa, chinofanira kukodzera vatori vechikamu kuti vave nekubwinya. Zvechokwadi, kubwinya hakugari. Kutambudzika kwemazwi veterans kunosarudzwa kunze kwevanhu. Kutaura zvazviri, mune dzakawanda zvinyorwa zvakanyorwa pakati pe2007 ne2010, masoja avo vainge vaonekwa sepanyama uye mupfungwa vakagamuchirwa uye vakagamuchirwa kupinda muchiuto, vakaita "kukudzwa," uye vakanga vasina kunyorwa nhoroondo yezvinetso zvepfungwa. Zvadaro, pavakakuvadzwa, varwi avo vaimbove vane utano vakaonekwa kuti vaiva nehuwandu hwehutano husati hwavapo, vakabviswa, uye vakaramba kurapwa mavanga avo. Mumwe musoja akanga akavharirwa mune imwe kambani kusvikira akabvumirana kusayina chirevo chokuti akanga ane chirwere chisati chavepo-nzira iyo Sachigaro weCommunity Veterans Affairs Committee inonzi "kutambudzwa."
Kushanda kwevarwi, avo chaivo, havatariswi nemauto kana sangano nekuremekedza kana kuremekedza. Asi chirevo che "chikwata" chinowanzoitwa "sauto" ndeyevatsvene vese nekuda kwechido chake chokukurumidza uye kufa muhumwechete hwekushaya pfungwa dzisinganzwisisiki dzinoparadza nguva dzose.

Masvosve anorwa hondo refu uye dzakaomarara nesangano rakakura uye kutsunga kusingaenzaniswi, kana izvo zvatinganzi "hushingi." Ivo vakavimbika kune chakakonzeresa nenzira iyo hakuna munhu anozvidza nyika anogona kufananidza: "Zvingaite kunge mureza weAmerica wakatemerwa tattoo kwauri pakuzvarwa, "nyanzvi yezvemamiriro ekunze uye munyori wezvemifananidzo Mark Moffett akaudza Wired magazini.

Kune rimwe, mauto emasvosve anoshanda zvakanyatsorongeka kunyangwe achishaya mutemo. ” Uye hapana hondo dzaizove dzakakwana pasina kunyepa: "Sevanhu, masvosve anogona kuyedza kukunda vavengi nekunyepera nenhema." Mune mumwe mufananidzo, "masvosve maviri anotarisana mukuyedza kuratidza ukuru hwavo - iyo, mune iri rudzi rwemasvosve, inosarudzwa nehurefu hwepanyama.
