Mashoko ane basa. Icho chidzidzo chinokosha chakadzidzwa nevana muyidhi yemauto uye PR vashandi vemuzvinyorwa zvakafanana. Ndokusaka ichangopfuura unheralded word changekuenda kuUnited States of Defense's Mission Statement isinganzwisisiki, kutaura zvishoma. MunaJanuary wegore rino, vatungamiri veTrump vakashandura nenzira inoshungurudza basa reDhipatimendi rekudzivirira kubva "kudzivisa hondo" kuti " inourayaJoint Force kudzivirira kuchengetedzwa kwenyika yedu uye kunotsigira simba reAmerica kune dzimwe nyika(zvinyorwa zvangu). "
Hurumende yeUnited States inonyatsoziva kukosha kwemashoko. Post-Hondo Yenyika II, hurumende-yepamusoro "Dhipatimendi reHondo"rakanga rakacheneswa uye rakanzizve Dhipatimendi re "Kudzivirirwa." Kudzokorora kubva ku "Hondo" kusvika ku "Kudzivirirwa" hakuna nzira yakashandura mafungiro ehurumende iyo inotamba nhau yakareba yekushongedza, panzvimbo yekudzivirira nyika iyo isina kumbovhiringidzwa nemauto "kunze" kubva Pancho Villa mu1910.
Hatifanire kutaurirana musiyano wakachena pakati pekudzivisa hondo nekutora mutauro weTrump kuti ipe "simba rinouraya," kunyange zvazvo mafungiro akafanana nehondo-asina kumbobvira aripo kumashure sekunge "vatungamiri vedu vehondo" vane hanya. Kupararira kwe "maAmerica simba kune dzimwe nyika," kunyange zvazvo zvitsva kuDoD zvakataurwa basa, inonyanya kuratidza kutendeseka kwezviito zveAmerica. Iyi pfungwa inoonekwa zvishoma nezvishoma apo kutanga kwe19thzana remakore, uye harks kumashure kune 1823 Monroe Dzidziso, iyo yakabatanidza kuwedzera kweU.S., nekunyengedza kurwisana neEuropean colonialism muAmerica. IAmerica "sphere" yakakura ichikura, ichitanga ne 1898 Spanish Spanish War kuti iwane Cuba nePhilippines, kuwedzera kweHawaii nePuerto Rico mugore rimwechete uye uye mberi. Kuchengeta mushure me mantra ye "kuparadzira democracy," yakagara iine hupfumi mune zvakasikwa. Semuenzaniso, Munyori weHurumende John Hay's "Open Door" Mutemo we1899 wakarondedzera ukama hweEurope neChina sechisingadikanwi kuparadzaniswa kwenyika, kuitira kuti US inogona kuva chikamu chemabhizimisi ekubhadhara kubva Chinese markets pane.
Panzvimbo pokudzivirira US kuzvinhu zvinopisidzira kunze, i Dhipatimendi re "Kudzivirirwa" rakakonzera kukanganisa kwemamwe marudzi anotonga, kutanga neuto reKorea (1951-1953), uye kuLebhanoni nePanama mu1958, Vietnam mu1960, uye Laos mu1962. Ipapo hondo yeUnited States yakapinda muPanama zvakare mu1964 uye Dominican Republic mu1965. Idzi ndidzo chete mumiririri we "mauto pasi" mune mamwe marudzi. IU.S. zvakare yakavhara marudzi nemasoja nemichina senyevero, yakadai seCuba mu 1962; yakatyisidzira kushandiswa kwezvombo zvenyukireya kumanikidza imwe nyika kuti ifukidze kuda kwayo, kazhinji, dzakadai saIraq neChina mu1958.
Nhoroondo yakazara zvakare nemuenzaniso wehurumende yeUnited States uye mapurisa ehurumende anotendeukira kune vayo vagari vemo uye kuuraya vanhu kana kuparadza vatongi vanoita rugare, Kent State Mu 1970, LA mu 1992, uye munguva ichangopfuura, pane Kudzoka KweDombo mu2016-2017. Saizvozvowo, sangano reBlack Lives Matter rinokurudzira utsinye hwemapurisa emisha, kazhinji kunotarirwa nevanhu vemavara nevhu. Yakatakura nezvombo zvehondo zvakasara, mapurisa akawanda eUnited States akaputirwa nemichina yakawanda kupfuura izvo zvinodiwa kuti dzivirire mhirizhonga.
Kana iwe uchibvuma tsanangudzo yekushandura se "kukurudzira kana kukurudzira kwechisimba kune dzimwe nyika kana mapoka," kuzvidzivirira kunoratidzika kunge kusinganzwisisiki zvishoma nezvido zveAmerica zvisinei nehondo. Tichaitei chatinenge tisinganyatsozivikanwi mune izvo zvakataurwa zvinoreva dhipatimendi rehurumende ane simba rekutungamirira mauto eUnited States mune chero kukakavara, kuzvidzivirira kana zvimwe? Dhipatimendi rehurumende inotungamirirwa neine simba rekare reMarine Corps guru?
Munyori Wezvokudzivirira James "Mad Dog" Mattis ane nguva refu, dzimwe nguva pasi pekuremekedzwa, basa remauto. Anofungidzirwa semuchenjeri uye anonyatsoziva, kana kuti achitenda, simba remashoko kukurudzira. Uyu mutungamiri uyo, asati atumira ma Marines muIraq, akatumwa mvumo yekuverenga inotarisirwa ye 72 sarudzo dzezvinyorwa zvemauto, uye kopi yeT TE Lawrence ye "27 Articles" kuvatungamiriri vake. Iye ndiyewo mutungamiri mukuru wekutanga muMakumi manomwe emakore kuti ashumire pane ino.
Kutaura kwake kunokurudzirwa kumapoka akakurudzira chisimba uye kuponda kwakapfurikidza kuurasi: "Kokutanga iwe unorova mumwe munhu hausi chiitiko chisina basa... Izvozvo zvakati, kune mamwe mashomanene munyika iyo inongoda kudururwa. Iko kune vatsva uye kune avo vanotambudzwa. Nokuraira kwako, kuchenjerera, kuteerera nekuchenjerera, iwe uchasarudza kana iwe uri muvhimi kana munhu akabatwa. Icho chaizvoizvo gehero yemufaro mukuru. Iwe unenge uchinge wabuda kunze ... Ndinonzwa urombo kumwanakomana wose wechinhu chisingawani kuti ashumire newe. "
Apo munyori mutsva akapa chirongwa kuvashandi veDhipatimendi re "Kudzivirirwa," tsanangudzo yake yedhipatimendi yakauya pakarepo uye nyore, "Tiri dhipatimendi rehondo."
Kwete kuti urege kusiyiwa kunze kwemapenga ehondo, Trump pachake pachake akakumbira guru, mamiriyoni emamiriyoni emadhora ehondo, ino yaNovember 10 mumigwagwa yeWashington, DC Kubhadharira mutero, iyo extravaganza icharatidza simba reU.S., kuendesa motokari dzehondo, zvombo, uye ndege kuburikidza neguta guru reU.S. Vazhinji vakasarudzwa vakuru vehurumende vakataura zvinopesana nehuwandu hwehondo-provaganza, ne District of Columbia Council sarcastically tweeting "Matangi asi kwete matangi." Chaizvoizvo, ichangobva kuitikachisarudzo chisina kujairika neHondo yeMasoja yevaverengi vavo, nemhinduro dze51,000, vakawana 89% vachipikisana neparadhiso.
Stop Trump's Military Parade, ruzivo rwakakura rwehutano hwevanhu uye masangano anorwa-hondo, yakagadzira mukurwisana nechirongwa ichi, ichiritsanangurira sokukudzwa kwemhirizhonga uye kuparadza kwemari inogona kushandiswa zviri nani pane zvigaro zvemagariro evanhu uye zvakatipoteredza. Nhengo dzinosanganisira World BEYOND War, Kuda Kurwisana, CODEPINK, Veterans for Peace, Black Alliance for Peace, uye ANSWER.
