Noba kutheni ukuqaphela Nye izipho le izibakala kubantu kwiimeko zehlabathi zangempela, okanye kwiimidiya ze-intanethi, inomathotholo ehamba phambili, kunye nonxibelelwano lwamaTV nakwi-US, akukho nje ukuyeka malunga nabantu baseUnited States bekholelwa inkolelo eyinqaba kakhulu ngeMfazwe Yehlabathi II.
Ngoko, isicwangciso sam esitsha se-debunking nguMnye omnye. Akunjalo ukuba ndicinga ukukhuthaza ukunyakaza kwam Meo. Ndicinga ukuba uphuhliso olwamkelekileyo kwiinkcubeko zase-US. Akunjalo, nokuba kunjalo, nayiphi na into yokunyaniseka okwenziwe ngabanye abathi ngokoqobo ukutshutshiswa ngokwesondo kufuneka kukholwe kungakhathaliseki ukuba yintoni, into enokwenzeka ukuba ayikwazi ukukhawulela imbali ye-lynchings yase-US, ezininzi ukuxolelwa ngo-DNA ubungqina, okanye ukujonga Xa Basibona kwi-Netflix kwaye engenakho intloko.
Kodwa iinjongo eziqhelekileyo zokuhamba, ukunika abantu isibindi sokuthetha, ukuphulaphula ngentlonelo, nokuzama ukuphelisa ubundlobongela: oku kuyimfuneko. Kwaye kuzuza ukuva. Kwaye kuthatha i-gloss kwiinkcukacha ezininzi zoluntu. Ngoko, lo umbuzo wam: Kuthekani ukuba isiganeko esidlangalaleni esiphezukileyo kwi-United States 'imbono ngokwaso sinokuthi "Ndiye"?
Kuthekani ukuba iMfazwe Yehlabathi II ingabonakali nje ngeyokuba i-United States yenqwenela ukuwamkela amaYuda awayefuna ukuwaxosha amaNazi, kungekhona kuphela ukuba amaRashiya ayinqobile imfazwe, kungekhona nje ukuba iibhomu zenyukliya zazenza izenzo zokubulala ngokukhululeka kungekhona ukusindiswa kwamanzi, kungekhona nje ukuba ininzi amasosha awazange adubule kwiintshaba zawo (ezobugcisa into enje, njl njl njl njl), kodwa nangenxa yokuba iMfazwe Yehlabathi II kunye neyokulwa kwayo inkululeko emva koko yayininzi i-extravaganzas yamadlwengulo obudlwengulo kunye nokudlwengulwa kwamagqirha kwizinga eliphezulu lokurekhoda kwehlabathi?
Nanku ukuvulwa kwe inqaku kwi ENew York Times:
Amajoni awela eNormandy ngomhla we-D-Day babingeniswa njengabakhululi, kodwa ngexesha le-American GI libuyela ekhaya ngasekupheleni kwe1945, abaninzi abemi baseFransi bawajonga ngendlela eyahlukileyo. Kwidolophu yasechwebeni yaseLe Havre, iorolophu yayibholwa ngamagama avela kubahlali abanomsindo ngokukrakra, izigulane ze-jeep, ukuhlaselwa ngokwesondo - 'ulawulo lwentlonelo,' njengalowo obekayo, olwenziwe ngabaqhenqa. Oku akusiyo 'isizukulwana esikhulu' njengoko sele sichazwe kwimbali edumeleyo. Ngaphakathi Ziziphi iinqwelo ezenzayo: Ubulili kunye ne-American GI kwiMfazwe Yehlabathi II eFransi, umbhali-mlando uMary Louise Roberts ubhala kwiifolda zaseFransi, iirekhodi zamajoni zaseMerika, iingxelo zeemfazwe kunye neminye imithombo ukuqhubela phambili ingxabano ekhuselekileyo: Ukukhululwa kweFransi 'kuthengiswa' kumajoni kungekhona njengemfazwe yenkululeko kodwa njengento ekhuselekileyo phakathi kwamaFrentshi angaphandle. , ukuphazamisa 'i-tsunami yenkanuko yenyama' ukuba abantu ababethekileyo nabangathembeki babedla ngokuba babetha njengesihlandlo sesibini kwindongamo kunye nesithunzi. "
U-Alice Kaplan, umbhali-mlando waseYale, ubhale ukuba ukudlwengulwa kwabasetyhini base-Jamani baseJamani abangaphezu kwesiFrentshi, kwaye oko kubonakala ngathi yinto ethile-kwaye ibonakala iyinyaniso. Okwangoku uJ. J. Lilly, umbhali we Kuthathwa nguMandla: Ukudlwengula kunye ne-American GIs eYurophu kwiMfazwe yehlabathi II,Uqikelele ukuba amasosha ase-US enze izidlwenguli ze-14,000 eFransi, eJamani, nase-United Kingdom phakathi kwe-1942 kunye ne-1945. Okunye uqikelelo, ezinye zazo zingaphezu kwamaqhinga, ziya phezulu njengezidlwengulo ze-190,000, nje eJamani, nje ngamasosha ase-US.
Le nxalenye yemfazwe yayiyinxalenye yemfazwe ngemihla yokuxhela iintsapho zaseMerika zaseMelika, kwaze kwaba yimihla (ezi ngoku) zokuxhela iintsapho zaseMpuma Ephakathi. Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, kube yinto ebalulekileyo ebomini kwimpi yase-US, kunye nomdlwenguli kunye nexhoba eliqeshwe liziko elizukileyo.
Kodwa iMfazwe Yehlabathi II ingcwele. Kufuneka ukuba ifike emva kweemfazwe ezindala kunye nezobuhlanga kwaye ngaphambi kobuchwephesha obuphezulu, ukuhlanjululwa-mbumbulu, iimfazwe zehlabathi. IMfazwe Yehlabathi II kufuneka ukuba yinto ebalulekileyo, eyenziwa sisizukulwana esikhulu. Ukuba umzuzu wam unako ukuvula umnyango wengqondo ukuze uqaphele into eyona nto eyona eyenziwe yinto engaphantsi kweyona nto inkulu kunayo yonke, leyo iya kuba yinye inxaxheba enkulu kum.
