Kwi-twist ephawulekayo, amalungu amane eNdlu yoWiso-mthetho ye-Hawai'i ekugqibeleni acela umngeni emkhosini wase-US e-Hawai'i. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo kusetyenziswa ukuvuza okukhulu kwejethi yejethi yomkhosi wamanzi wase-US eRed Hill eye yangcolisa amanzi okusela kubahlali abangaphezu kwe-100,000 base-O'ahu njengendawo yokuwohloka kobudlelwane bomkhosi kunye nabemi baseHawai'i, nge-23 kaMatshi 2022, abameli abane babambe intlanganiso. Ingxoxo enesihloko esithi “Ukubhengeza Ngokungaphaya Kwezomkhosi ukuba sisisongelo kuKhuseleko lwaseHawaii kunye noLuntu lwaMazwe ngaMazwe.”
Ndisebenze iminyaka engama-29 kuMkhosi woMkhosi wase-US kunye nooMkhosi woMkhosi kunye nokuthatha umhlala-phantsi njengeColonel, ukwangunozakuzaku wase-US e-Asia-Pacific, iminyaka emibini kuMzi wozakuzo wase-US kwi-Federated States yaseMicronesia nakwi-Ambassy yase-US eMongolia nanjengoko. Unozakuzaku wase-US onomsebenzi weminyaka emibini kwi-ofisi yeMicimbi yaMazwe ngaMazwe yeOfisi yeRhuluneli yeLizwe laseHawai'i ngo-2000-2002, ndivumelana kakhulu nokuchazwa kweHawai'i “njengomkhosi ongaphaya komkhosi.”
Ilizwe laseHawai'i "linomkhosi ogqithisileyo" ukulimaza. Ngaphezulu komkhosi kusisoyikiso kukhuseleko lwaseHawaii ngokwalo kunye neendawo ezisixhenxe zomkhosi eO'ahu kuphela:
- Ikomkhulu le-Indo-Pacific Command eCamp Smith, eAiea,
- I-Pearl Harbour Naval Base kunye neKomkhulu le-US Pacific Fleet
- I-Hickam Air Force Base kunye nekomkhulu le-US Air Force Pacific
- Fort Shafter, Ikomkhulu le-US Army Pacific
- Isiseko seMarine eHawaii eKaneohe, kwikomkhulu le3rd Umkhosi waseLwandle
- Schofield Barracks 25th Infantry Division yokuFakelo loMkhosi
- IKhompyutha yaseLwandle kunye noNxibelelwano lweNdawo yeSikhululo esiPhakathi sePasifiki
- IZiko leMisebenzi yeNgingqi yaseKunia SIGINT
- Iziko laseAsia-Pacific leZifundo zoKhuseleko
IKauai inendawo enkulu yoVavanyo lweMissile yasePasifiki kwaye ityhalwa ligqiza lethu leCongressional ukuba libe likhaya labantu abaxabanayo, ababiza imali eninzi nabangafunwayo ngumkhosi wase-US weHomeland Defense Radar.
ISiqithi esikhulu sinoMmandla omkhulu woQeqesho wePohakuloa/uluhlu lokubhobhoza.
UMaui unenkqubo enkulu yekhompyuter yeSebe lezoKhuselo eMaui. Esi sikhululo somkhosi sikhulu esikwiZiqithi zaseHawaii senza iziqithi zibe yeyona nto iphambili ekujoliswe kuyo kubachasi abanokubakho, ngakumbi i-O'ahu, apho ibhombu enye yenyukliya eye yawela kwisiqithi yayiza kutshabalalisa umyalelo womkhosi wase-US kunye nolawulo lwePasifiki naseAsia.
Iithagethi ezininzi zomkhosi zithetha ukuba ukhuseleko lwethu loluntu lubingelelwe ukhuseleko "lwesizwe". Ngelixa igqiza lethu leCongressional lizingca “lizisa ekhaya ibhakoni” kwiinkcitho ezinkulu zomkhosi kwiiprojekthi zomkhosi eHawai'i, iimfuno ezisisiseko zemfundo kunye neziseko zophuhliso kubemi baseburhulumenteni bayasokola.
Kwiinyanga ezine ezidlulileyo, sibone ukunqongophala kwenkathalo yomkhosi wase-US kubantu, umhlaba kunye namanzi aseHawaii. Uzazi ngokupheleleyo iingozi ezibangelwa kukuvuza kweetanki zejethi ezivuzayo ezineminyaka engama-80 ubudala eRed Hill, umkhosi wase-US wala ukuxoxa ngokuthomalalisa iitanki de ukuvuza okukhulu kungcolise amanzi okusela abahlali abayi-100,000 baseO'ahu, uninzi lwabo ababengabo. iintsapho zabo zomkhosi. Isiqithi ngoku sijongene nokunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwamanzi ngokuzithandela okulandelwa kwiinyanga zasehlotyeni zokunciphisa amanzi okunyanzelekileyo ngenxa yokungabikho kwamanzi akhoyo ukukhusela i-jet fuel plume ukuba isasazeke kuyo yonke i-aquifer yamanzi okusela kwindawo enabantu abaninzi besiqithi.
Ngokunjalo, imizabalazo yabemi ngokuchasene nokuqhushumba komkhosi kwisiqithi saseKaho'olawe kunye neMakua Valley kunye nezixa ezikhulu zomhlaba ezingonakaliswa ngumkhosi zithetha ukuba kungekudala, kunokuba kamva, abemi baya kunyanzela umkhosi ukuba uphelise umzabalazo wawo. ukongamela kwezi ziqithi.
Kukhuseleko lwethu, lixesha lokuba i-State of Hawai'i ingaxhomekeki kakhulu kwinkxaso-mali yomkhosi egameni lokhuseleko lwesizwe.
Lixesha lokuba uyeke “Ngaphezu kweMilitarization” yaseHawai'i.
