UJeremy Deaton ubonakala njengombhali olungileyo malunga notshintsho lwemozulu de akhubeke kwi-propaganda yomkhosi wase-US. Ndigxininisa lo njengomzekelo wakutsha nje wento eqhelekileyo ukuba iphantse ibe yeyendalo iphela. Le patheni kumaqela aphambili okusingqongileyo, iincwadi zokusingqongileyo, kunye nezendalo ngamawaka. Ngapha koko, ayikhawulelwanga ngakwimeko-bume yezendalo, injalo kwimeko yokusingqongileyo, ukungaboniyo kumonakalo owenziwe ngumkhosi wase-US kubaluleke kakhulu kwimpembelelo yawo.
“Libala ngokuGcina umbane. Oku malunga nokuGcina uBomi. ” Esi sisihloko esihle senqaku malunga nayo nayiphi na into engeyiyo eyomkhosi, eyilelwe ukutshabalalisa ubomi, okanye njengoMgqatswa kaMongameli kwiRiphabhlikhi uMike Huckabee ngokunyaniseka wakubeka kwingxoxo-mpikiswano yakutshanje: "ukubulala abantu kwaye wophule izinto." Ngapha koko, oku kuvezwa ngumxholo ophantsi ka-Deaton othi: "Ukusebenza kwamandla kwenza uMkhosi wamaNxweme ungoyisi, ungoyiki." Wenza ntoni umatshini wokulwa ngenkani? Bulala abantu kwaye uqhekeze izinto.
Kodwa uDeaton, onjengeendawo ezifanelekileyo zendalo esingqongileyo kufuneka azinakekele ngomhlaba, uchaza ukuba, njengokuba kunjalo, phantsi kwepellishthi yempi, yena kuphela uyakhathalela i-4% yabantu emhlabeni. Elinye i-96% inokugwetywa:
“Amafutha asefosil aluxanduva olukhulu kumajoni aseMelika. Iinqanawa zolwandle ezilayishwe yigesi zihleli amadada kwiimbumbulu zotshaba kunye neebhombu ezisecaleni kwendlela. Ukusebenzisa amandla amancinci kuthetha ukuhambisa iindlela ezifutshane: iithagethi ezimbalwa, amaxhoba ambalwa, amajoni amaninzi aseMelika awenza ukuba abe likhaya kwiintsapho zawo. ”
Ingaba ezo migca zobonelelo zibonelela ngantoni kanye? Izixhobo zokubulala abantu abaninzi, kunjalo. Umbono wokuba umatshini obulalayo "usindisa ubomi" ujika ube ngumbono wokuba ngelixa ubandakanyeka ekubulaleni abantu abaninzi unethemba lokulahlekelwa ngabambalwa: "Imalunga nokuqinisa iigiya kumatshini wemfazwe." Ewe, ukuba yayinokuyeka ukuhlala kwiilwandlekazi namanxweme ehlabathi, ivusa inkathazo, nokulwa iimfazwe, yayiza kusindisa ngamnye koomatiloshe bayo (okanye amajoni okanye iiMarines). Umkhosi ondlongondlongo wehlabathi oneenjini zomoya ezimbalwa usindisa ubomi ngendlela efanayo nokuthenga i-ayisikrimu enkulu ngeCawa obungafuni ukonga imali xa ithengiswa.
UDeaton ucaphula uNobhala woMkhosi waselwandle, nokuba ukhutshiwe kwaye uncamathisela ngqo kumaphephandaba okanye akunjalo, esithi, “Oomatiloshe nabaseManzini bayaqonda ukuba ezi nkqubo zibanceda babe ngabaphumi-mkhosi abangcono.” Kwaye benza ntoni abalwa imfazwe? Balwa iimfazwe. Babulala inani elikhulu labantu kwaye badale inani lokonzakala kunye nexhoba lomothuko kunye neembacu. UDeaton ucinezela ephindaphinda ukuba ukonga amandla kuphucula ukubulala abantu abaninzi, kuba ubona ngokucacileyo oku njengokukhetha ukunika imbonakalo malunga neplanethi. Ucaphula i-Wilson Centre ecinga ngetanki (n., Umntu ocinga ngamatanki): “Umnqweno wabo wokusebenzisa amandla ngamandla uqhutywa ngokupheleleyo. Akukho nto icingayo malunga nayo, kwaye iluncedo kakhulu. ” Kunene. UThixo akavumeli ukuba bakhathalele ngokweengcinga nokuba iplanethi igcina imeko yemozulu ehlala abantu.
Nangona uthanda okanye ubekezela iimfazwe, umkhosi wemvelo ufana ne-coke yokutya. Njengoko World Beyond War uyathetha, umkhosi ulwa iimfazwe zawo ngenxa yezibaso kwaye usebenzisa uninzi lwazo kwinkqubo kunokuba nabani na esenza enye into. I-oyile inokuvuza okanye itshiswe, njengakwiMfazwe yaseGulf, kodwa ngokuyintloko isetyenziswa kuzo zonke iintlobo zoomatshini abangcolisa umoya ojikeleze umhlaba, basibeka emngciphekweni. Abanye bade banxibelelanise ukusetyenziswa kweoyile kunye nozuko ekuthiwa luzuko kunye nobugorha bemfazwe, ukuze amandla ahlaziyekayo angabeki emngciphekweni wentlekele yehlabathi ajongwa njengeendlela zobugwala kunye nokungathandeki kwilizwe lakho ukuhambisa oomatshini bethu.
Ukudibana kwemfazwe neoyile kuya ngaphaya koko, nangona kunjalo. Iimfazwe ngokwazo, nokuba zilwelwe okanye azilwelwa ioyile, ziyayitya kakhulu. Omnye wabathengi abaphambili beoyile, enyanisweni, kunjalo umkhosi waseMelika. Umkhosi waseMelika uvutha ngeenombolo ze-340,000 zeoli ngosuku ngalunye. Ukuba i-Pentagon yayiyilizwe, yayiza kuba yi-38th kwi-196 kwi-oyile.
Ingqongileyo njengoko siyazi ukuba ayiyi kuphila imfazwe yenyukliya. Kwakhona kungenakuphila "imfazwe" yesizwe, kuqondwa ukuba ithetha iindidi zemfazwe ngoku eziye zenziwa. Umonakalo omkhulu uye wenziwa ngeemfazwe kunye nophando, ukuvavanywa, kunye nemveliso eyenziwa ukulungiselela iimfazwe. Iimfa kwiminyaka yakutshanje zenze iindawo ezininzi ezingahlaliyo kwaye zavelisa amashumi ezigidi zababaleki. Imfazwe "isichaphazela izifo ezithathelwanayo ngenxa yehlabathi elibangela ukuxhatshazwa nokufa," ngokutsho kukaJennifer Ukuxhomekeka kweHarvard Medical School.
Mhlawumbi izixhobo ezifa kakhulu ezishiywe emva kweemfazwe yimigodi yomhlaba kunye neibhola zeqoqo. Iingamashumi ezigidi zazo ziqikelelwa zilele emhlabeni, zingaboni naziphi na izimemezelo zokuvakalisa uxolo. Uninzi lwabo lwabaxhoba luluntu, ipesenti enkulu yabantwana.
Umsebenzi waseSoviet nowaseMelika eAfghanistan batshabalalisile okanye bonakalisa amawaka ezilali kunye nemithombo yamanzi. I-Taliban iye yathengisa amaplanga ngokungekho mthethweni ePakistan, nto leyo ekhokelela ekugawulweni kwamahlathi. Iibhombu zaseMelika kunye neembacu ezidinga iinkuni zongeze kumonakalo. Amahlathi ase-Afghanistan sele emkile. Uninzi lweentaka ezifudukayo ezazidla ngokudlula e-Afghanistan azisenzi njalo. Umoya kunye namanzi ayo afakwe ityhefu ngeziqhushumbisi kunye nezixhobo zerokethi. Iiphaneli ezimbalwa zelanga aziyi kuyilungisa le nto.
Ukuba ama-militari ayenziwe eluhlaza ngokwemisebenzi yabo, ayeza kulahlekelwa esinye sezizathu zawo eziphambili zemfazwe. (Akukho mntu unokukwazi ukufumana ilanga okanye umoya.) Kwaye sasinokuba luhlu olude ... Ezinye izizathu zokuphelisa imfazwe.
