Kulula kakhulu eUnited States ukufumana imipu, ukufumana iindawo onokuzisebenzisa, kunye nokufumana abaqeqeshi abakulungeleyo ukukufundisa ukuyisebenzisa. Akukho sidingo sokuba unxibelelane nomkhosi wase-US ukuze unxibe kwaye usebenze ngokungathi usemkhosini, njengoko uninzi lwabaphangi belwenza, abanye babo besilwa iimfazwe zabo zokukhohlisa ngokuchasene nabaphambukeli okanye amanye amaqela. Kodwa kuyamangalisa ukuba ubuncinci i-36% yabadubuli baseMelika (kwaye kunokwenzeka ngakumbi nangakumbi) baqeqeshiwe ngumkhosi wase-US.
Kuyamangalisa ngokulinganayo ukuba, nangona bendihlaziya kwaye ndibhala malunga nesi sihloko iminyaka, iphantse yenziwa mhlophe kwimithombo yeendaba zase-US. Kwiingxelo zokudubula kwabantu abaninzi, nakuphi na ukukhankanywa kokubandakanyeka emkhosini wase-US kuhlala kungumbhalo ongezantsi. Kwiimeko ezininzi, andazi nje, ngophando lwam olunqongopheleyo, nokuba umhlaseli osisidalwa ligqala lomkhosi okanye akunjalo. Kungenxa yoko le nto inani lam lama-36% lisenokuba phantsi. Ngokubhekisele kwiipateni zokudubula ngobuninzi, iingxelo zosasazo zisixelela, ngokunjalo, malunga nokufikelela kwimipu, iintlobo zemipu, iirekhodi zolwaphulo-mthetho, iirekhodi zempilo yengqondo, ukungaziphathi kakuhle, ubuhlanga, ubudala, isini, kunye nezinye izinto ezivela kubadubuli. Ukuba abahlaseli baninzi babenentloko ebomvu, bengqingili, i-vegan, isandla sasekhohlo, okanye abalandeli bebhasikithi besingazi kakuhle. Ukusebenza kwayo kuya kuba yimfihlakalo, kodwa siyayazi loo nto. Ukanti inyani yokuba ngaphezulu kwesithathu kubo, kwaye nangaphezulu, baqeqeshwe ngobuchule ekubulaleni ayinakuchazeka, ngaphandle kokubaluleka kwayo okucacileyo kunye nexabiso lenkcubeko elicingelwayo "lokulandela isayensi" naphina apho inokukhokelela khona.
Siyaxelelwa rhoqo ukuba abahlaseli baninzi ngabantu abangamadoda, ngaphandle koloyiko malunga nokubangela intiyo yamadoda, uninzi lwabo ingengabo abahlaseli baninzi, kwaye uninzi lwabo lunokufa kunokuba lube ngabaphangi abaninzi. Siye sixelelwe rhoqo ukuba abahlaseli babenemipu kwaye bayayithanda imipu, nokuba babenemicimbi yezempilo yengqondo, kwaye babengamalolo, ngaphandle kokuthandabuza nokuba singa dala ubandlululo kubanini bemipu okanye kwizigulana zempilo yengqondo okanye kwizingeniso. Siyazi ngokubanzi ukuba uninzi lwabantu aluthethi ngokunganyanisekanga, uninzi lwabantu luya kubamba-kwaye lungaxhamli-kwinto yokuba i-teeny encinci yeepesenti yomkhosi wamajoni angabaphangi abaninzi abasixeleli kwanto ngabo bonke abalindi, njengoko beya kuthanda ukukhetha kwinto yokuba uninzi lwabaphangi abaninzi abangabo bangengomagqala, nto leyo engasisixeleli nto ngabo bonke abangengomagqala. Ukanti isingxengxezo sokungaze sichaze ubalo olumangalisayo kwisihloko esingentla siqhelekileyo siyingozi yokudala icala ngokuchasene namagqala.
UMama Jones Iphephancwadi liyihlaziye sedata zokudubula eMelika. Ndiyikhuphele kwaye ndenze iinguqu ezimbalwa, ngaphambi kokuba ndiyithumele Apha.
Olona tshintsho lukhulu endilwenzileyo ibikukongeza ikholamu ebonisa ukuba umtoli wayelijoni lomkhosi waseMelika. Ndizicimile ezinye zezehlo zokudubula, ukunciphisa uluhlu ukusuka ku-121 ukuya ku-106. Ndikwenzile oku, njengakwisihlandlo esidlulileyo, ukuze ndikwazi ukwenza uthelekiso oluchanekileyo kubemi ngokubanzi. Khange ndibalwe ngokudutyulwa kutsha nje eColorado kuba akukho ndawo yemithombo yeendaba ethe yabiza umrhanelwa. Ngokwentelekiso bambalwa abantu basetyhini abangamagqala okanye abadubuli, kwaye izehlo zokudutyulwa kwabasetyhini zibonakala zimbalwa kakhulu ukuzithelekisa nazo. Ukujonga emadodeni kuphela, ipesenteji yamagorha kubemi base-US yahluka kakhulu ngokobudala. Ke, ndikususile ukudubula ngabafazi okanye ngamadoda angaphantsi kwe-18 okanye ngaphezulu kwe-59. Ndishiye kudutyulo olunye olwenziwe yindoda nomfazi omncedayo. Ndicime olunye uhlaselo ebeluhlasela umkhosi wase-US ngumdubuli ozelwe kwilizwe langaphandle, njengoko kubonakala ngathi akunamsebenzi ukubuza ukuba ingaba lo mfo wayephethe umkhosi wase-US. Njenge-blowback, nangona kunjalo, olo dubulo lwalubandakanya umkhosi wase-US njengayo nayiphi na enye.
Ukujonga ukudubula okungama-106 kwindawo yogcino lwedatha eseleyo, ndiphawule ama-38 kubo njengabenzi bemikhosi yaseMelika. Kumatyala amathathu, oku kubonisa igqala le-JROTC, elinye linokuthi okanye lingabinakho ukuthatha inxaxheba kwezomkhosi. Aba bathathu baqeqeshwa ngokudubula ngendleko zikawonke-wonke ngumkhosi wase-US. Omnye wabo wayengumdubuli eSpringfield, eMissouri, ngoMatshi 2020. Ukuba lo Nguye, waye waya kwenye yeebhodi eziphezulu zesizwe Zikolo kuqeqesho lwemipu, Umkhosi kunye neMikhosi yaseNavy.
Andibandakanyanga njengamajoni awayedubula ayengoonogada okanye oonogada basejele. Andibandakanyi njengabadubuli bamajoni ababekwiirekhodi ezichaza ulwaphulo-mthetho lwabo lwexesha elizayo ngokucacileyo ukuba bathathe inxaxheba kwaye babhekisa ngegama emkhosini wase-US, ngaphandle kokuba ndingaqiniseka ukuba bebekwijoni lase-US. Ndishiye kuluhlu lwe-106 inani elincinci labadubuli abavela kwamanye amazwe, abanokuthi okanye abangazange baqeqeshwe ngamajoni angaphandle, kwaye abanye babo babengenakho ukujoyina ngokusemthethweni umkhosi wase-US; akukho nanye kwezi iphakathi kwama-38 aphawulwe njengamagqala. Kwakhona phakathi kwe-106 ubuncinci amadoda amabini azama ukujoyina umkhosi wase-US kwaye akhatywa; ababalwa phakathi kwamagqala angama-38. Ubuncinane omnye kwabali-106 wayesebenza kumkhosi waselwandle waseUnited States kodwa engengomntu wamajoni aseMerika; akabalwa njengegqala. Eyona nto ibaluleke kakhulu, khange ndikwazi ukumisela imeko yasemkhosini ngenye indlela okanye enye kwisininzi sabadubuli kuluhlu; kunokwenzeka ukuba ngaphezulu kwama-38 babe ngamagqala omkhosi. I-38 ephawulwe njengamagqala ngamajoni kuphela endinokumisela ukuba yayingamagqala ngokufunda iingxelo zeendaba.
Iziphumo zayo yonke le nto kukuba, kolu datha luhlaziyiweyo, i-36% yabadubuli baseMelika (bebodwa, abesilisa, i-18-59) ngamagqala. Ukuba sibashiya ngaphandle abathathu abangamagqala e-JROTC, sisafumana i-33% yokuba ngamagqala. Ngokwahlukileyo, i-14.76% yabemi ngokubanzi (eyindoda, i-18-59) ngamagqala. Ke, umjukujelwa ongaphezulu kokuphindaphindeka ngamanani ukuba abe ligqala lomkhosi.
Ngaba kunokwenzeka ukuba amanye ala magqala akaqeqeshelwanga ukudubula imipu ngomkhosi kwaye kwafuneka ayifunde kwenye indawo? Nantoni na inokwenzeka, kodwa oku akunakulindeleka, kwaye kwiimeko ezininzi siyazazi ezinye zeenkcukacha zoqeqesho lwabo ekusebenziseni imipu.
Ngaphandle kokuthetha, okanye mandithi, ndinqwenela ukuba bekungeyomfuneko ukuba bathi, amagqala maninzi kakhulu kunabatoli abaninzi. Uninzi lwamagqala-phantse onke amagqala emfazwe - ASINGABO batola abantu. Ngokufanayo, abo banemicimbi yezempilo yengqondo bangaphezulu kakhulu kwabadubuli. Phantse bonke abantu abaneengxaki zempilo yengqondo, okanye onke amadoda athe aphatha gadalala abantu basetyhini, okanye onke amadoda, okanye bonke abanini bemipu, ASINGABO batola abantu.
Ngaphandle kokuthetha, okanye mandithi, ndinqwenela ukuba bekungekho mfuneko yokuba sithi, ngaphezulu kwegalelo elinye kwibhombu yokudubula inokubaluleka ekujonganeni nayo.
Ngaphandle kokuthetha, okanye mandithi, ndinqwenela ukuba bekungekho mfuneko yokuba bathi, abantu abathanda ukudubula abantu abaninzi banokuzimisela ukujoyina umkhosi, benze ubudlelwane budibane kwaye bungabi sisizathu. Ngapha koko, ndingothuka ukuba bekungekho nyani kuloo nto. Kodwa kunokwenzeka ukuba uqeqesho kunye nokulungiswa kwimeko kwaye unikwe ulwazi ngokudubula kwabantu abaninzi-kwaye kwezinye iimeko amava okuzibandakanya kudubulo oluninzi kwaye uluthathe njengolwamkelekileyo okanye oluncomekayo- lwenza ukuba umntu abe nakho ukudubula. Andiqondi ukuba akukho nyani kuloo nto.
