Zvakaoma kufungidzira kupemberera hurongwa hwehondo yenyukireya, asi ndizvo zvaive pane zvaiitika paCharm Air Force Base, pedyo neOgden, Utah musi weSvondo rapfuura, Feb. 12.
Pamutambo wemupaiti wepamutemo, maiva nemikomborero ye "vashandi vepamusoro" pachigadziko kusanganisira Team of the Year, Volunteer yegore uye Mudiwa Anokosha wegore. Mutungamiri weChina, Col. Ron Jolly, akati, "VaAirmen pano vanoona mufananidzo mukuru uye vanoziva kuti ... pamusoro pokupa rubatsiro kune Team Hill."
Chii chinonzi "Team Hill"? Pane imwe-miriyoni acres uye vanhu vane 20,000, Hill AFB inosungirwa nekuchengetedza uye kuedza "kuvimbika", pakati pezvimwe zvinhu, mamiriyoni e450 Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic kana ICBMs. I-60-nhatu-yakareba, 39-tonet rocket, ine 335-kiloton nuclear nyuzi (funga Hiroshima, nguva 22), inogona kubhururuka 6,000 kusvika 7,000 makiromita zvisati zvasarudzwa pane zvinangwa zvakasarudzwa neGlobal Strike Command (zita racho chaiyo) muOmaha.
Hill AFB "mamiriro eunyanzvi" bvunzo nzvimbo inoita bvunzo dze "kuomarara kwenyukireya, kurarama, kuvimbika"… "nyukireya radiation, kuputika kwemhepo, kuvhunduka uye kudedera" uye "electromagnetic pulse." Iyi ndiyo mhedzisiro yezvombo zvenyukireya, uye hwaro hunochengetedza maICBM edu "akavimbika" - ayo akagadzirira-kuvhura kubva kumabunkers kuNorth Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado neNebraska.
MuBallistic missile mazwi, "kuvimbika" zvinoreva chivimbo chekuti moto unopisa moto unobatanidza 40-square-miles-per-warhead unogona kusunungura nyika kure nekushandisa mahwendefa anotanga nekutendeuka kwekiyi. (Daniel Berrigan akambonyora kuti muHondo Yenyika II maGermany akaendesa vanhu kune crematoria, uye kuti ikozvino zvombo zvinotakura zvinonzi crematoria kuvanhu.)
Muna Kubvumbi 2014, zvikwata zvemauto zvichiri kuita basa ravo reCold War - makore makumi maviri nematanhatu mushure me "hondo" yapera - vakapihwa kurudziro nyowani apo Hill AFB yakapa "Brent Scowcroft Awards." Vakaenda kuvashandi vanoshanda nesimba mu "Chikwata Chekutanga uye Chekuyedza" uye kune vamwe vanoshanda mukugadzirisa, zvigadzirwa, kutora uye chimwe chinonzi "kusimudzira."
Mubayiro wacho unonzi zita reLt. Gen. Brent Scowcroft, uyo akakwidziridzwa neCold War hutsinye hwakatungamirira reagan-era commission yakakurudzira kushandiswa kwemari kuI ICBMs. I1983 Scowcroft Commission yakakurudzira "simba rinotarisa nyika rine chinhu chinokosha, nokukurumidza chinangwa chinouraya kukwanisa."
Euphemism "hard target kill" inoreva maH-mabhomba akarurama zvakakwana kuti aparadze zvombo zveimwe nyika mumabunkers vasati vatangwa - yenyukireya "yekutanga-kurwisa." Izvi ndizvo zvinoitwa neMinuteman III zvombo zvinoita uye izvo zvavanotyisidzira izvozvi, 24/7, neMark 12A yavo misoro. Scowcroft's commission yakaraira iyo Air Force kuti igadzire imwechete-yehondo misoro, zvinova chaizvo zvombo zvedu zveMinuteman IIIs zvave.
Kufanana neve "vatongi" vakavhunduka vari mumatambudziko avo, kupera kwekupedzisira kutanga nzvimbo dzakapoteredza Malmstrom Air Base, FE Warren Air Base neMinot AFB, Team Hill inogadzira uye inopisa mishonga yekuparadza kwenyika yenyukireya. Yayo ICBM System Program Office ine "chaiyo" Minuteman missile "kuisa zvivako uye kutora nzvimbo dzekuchengetedza nzvimbo." Hill yeNuclear Weapons Center "inotanga, inowana uye inotsigira silo-based ICBMs ... inotarisira nzvimbo ... inotsigira sasi-based ICBM systems" uye inotenga " spare parts, services, uye repairs "ye" Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) mapurogiramu uye zvinyorwa. "
Makore maviri akapfuura, Gomo rakapa chikamu che $ 90-mamiriyoni kumakambani eCincinnati kuvaka imwe itsva yekutora maIgbm makuru. Iko motori, inonzi "transporter erector," inoisa uye inotakura ma rockets. Maererano neAir Base, "ichashumira Minuteman III ICBM kuburikidza ne2035."
Asi zvakadiniko neMutungamiriri weMubairo Werunyararo “nyika isina zvombo zvenyukireya”? Munhu Ane Simba Zvikuru haakwanise kana kuvhara diki, iri nyowani, yekumahombekombe ekuranga koloni kuGuantanamo. Kutoita kupokana - ndoda kudzikisira - iyo trillion-madhora ehondo yenyukireya bhajeti, iyo Prez yaizoda hupamhi hwakakura hwekurwisa-nuke kupandukira uye kusatya kweMLK.
Zvichakadaro, vabati vehurumende, vashandi nevatsigiri vanoronga uye vanoita zvisingabvumirwi zvakanyanyisa, vakavhiringidzika kana kuti vakavhiringidzika, kuti paTime Hill's Feb. 12 gala, "vanozivikanwa zvikuru vatungamiri vomunharaunda uye vaenzi vakakurumbira vakapa zvikwereti. -chair akati, "Taida chaizvo kuti mupiro wekodzero yedu inzwe sevanhu vanozivikanwa." Imwe yePublic Affairs yakaratidza kuti "nzvimbo yepasititi, inobvunzurudzwa pa 'chifukidzo chekundu,' hors d'oeuvres, chine quartet uye kutamba."
Nguva yapfuura kubvuma kuti tsika iyi inodedera uye inoparidzira hupenyu hwehondo yenyukireya. Mubvunzo hausi kuti ingirozi dzakawanda dzinogona kutamba sei pamusoro wepini, asi vangani "vakaroorana vanokosha" vanogona kushandiswa pane 450 yakazara ICBMs.
