"Abaphathi be-CENTCOM base-US babhengeze namhlanje ukuba banenjongo yokugcina ubukho babo e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq naseQatar] kude kube ilanga liphuma kwi-hydrogen, ngaloo ndlela bebophelela i-US kwixesha elide lokuthunyelwa kwimbali yoluntu. Xa bebuzwa ukuba baceba njani ukugcina ubukho kula mazwe mathathu ubude obuqikelelweyo be-4 ukuya kwi-5 yeebhiliyoni zeminyaka, abacwangcisi bathi 'sisebenza kwisicwangciso saloo nto. Asikabi naso, kodwa ukungabi nasicwangciso okanye isizathu esikrelekrele sokwenza into akuzange kube ngumqobo kuthi kwixesha elidlulileyo; nathi asiyiboni kwangaphambili ukuba iya kuba sisithintelo esikhulu kuthi nakwixa elizayo.' Phakathi kwezinto ekunokukhethwa kuzo ebekuxoxwa ngazo yinkqubo entsha “yokudibanisa” abasebenzi abasasaziweyo. “Siza kukhuthaza amalungu omkhosi kula mazwe ukuba atshate kwaye akhulise abantwana abaza kuthatha indawo yabo kwixesha elizayo. Ngokuqinisekileyo, kunokuba nzima kancinane kwamanye amalungu ethu enkonzo yabasetyhini, kuba ngoku kukho malunga ne-8 yamadoda kuwo wonke umfazi ophaya, kodwa silindele ukuba yoyiswe yiMinyhadala (OBE) njengoko umlinganiso wesondo uya kuphuma ngaphandle isizukulwana okanye ezibini. Kuyo nayiphi na imeko isitshixo kwisicwangciso kukwenza ezi zabelo zingapheli kuphela, kodwa zizuze ilifa kunye nelifa. Umzekelo, ukuba ngoku usebenza kwidesika yemozulu yeJoint Operations Centre (JOC), baya kuba njalo nabantwana bakho, nabantwana babo, nabantwana babo, ad infinitum. Sithanda ukucinga ngayo njengokhuseleko lomsebenzi. " UCaptain (Iqela elidityanisiweyo loMsebenzi-180)
Ngokuhambelana nesicelo sePentagon sokuba amawaka angakumbi amajoni ase-US athunyelwe e-Afghanistan kuza uhlaselo olukhulu lwesithuthi esiqhushumbisiwe (VBID) eKabul esibulale phantse i-100 kwaye senzakalisa abanye abangama-400. Phakathi kwabonzakeleyo kuthiwa malunga neshumi elinambini labemi base-US, ekusenokwenzeka ukuba, bangabokhuselo kunye nenkxaso yeekontraka. AbakwaTaliban bakhanyele kabukhali nakuphi na ukubandakanyeka kolu hlaselo. I-Islamic State, okanye iqela elihlangeneyo, ngabarhanelwa ekunokwenzeka ukuba.
Kwaye ke umhlaba uphume uye elugqatsweni kwakhona ngomjikelo weendaba obonisa ukuboniswa kwexhoba lesiqhelo, udliwanondlebe kwindawo, uhlalutyo lweengcali, kunye neengxelo ezivela kwiinkokeli kwihlabathi liphela zigxeka uhlaselo kunye nesifungo sokuthwala umlo kubenzi bobubi. Umnqamlezo weminyaka eyibhiliyoni ngokwenene!
Abantu baseMelika babukela ukubulawa kwabantu kumabonwakude okanye kwi-Intanethi kwaye bavelana, mhlawumbi, imizuzu eli-10. Ke, ngengozi yabo, babuyela kwiisepha eziqhutywayo, imidlalo yevidiyo, iminyhadala yezemidlalo, isixhobo esiphathwayo kunye nothotho lweTV yeTrone: Kubonakala ngathi uninzi lwehlabathi lenza into enye. Sikwizibalo zabantu kumabonwakude, okanye kwi-Intanethi, ngoku kukho ingxelo yokufa kwejoni laseMelika. Oku akufani nokubalwa kwemizimba ngexesha leMfazwe yaseVietnam kuphela ngabemi abakhokela amanani amabi.
I-Mini-Tet Offensives
Ngeli xesha, uhlaselo lweKabul luba sisixhobo sokuxhasa isicelo sePentagon sokuba amajoni angaphezulu ase-US axhase i-Afghanistan, i-Iraq kunye nemfazwe engunaphakade yehlabathi yobunqolobi. Kodwa amawaka ambalwa amajoni ase-US athunyelwa njani ngapha nangapha ukuya kuzisa iTaliban emadolweni okanye anqande uhlaselo lwabanqolobi ukuba lwenzeke naphi na emhlabeni? Nangona i-Islamic State ichithwa e-Iraq naseSiriya, iyakwazi ukudala umonakalo eBaghdad, eKabul, kwiiPhilippines naseManchester, e-UK.
Ngaba asifuni 500,000 kunye namajoni njengoko senza eVietnam ukutyumza iintshaba? Kutheni le nto inyuka? Kutheni ungafuni iinkonzo ze-1 yezigidi zabemi baseMelika ngokusebenzisa idrafti yokuya kufumana umsebenzi e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq naseSiriya?
Uhlaselo lokuzibulala lu-mini-Tet Offensives: Bakhumbuza iinkokeli zehlabathi kunye nabacwangcisi bezomkhosi ukuba ubukhulu becala abanakukwazi ukuphelisa uhlaselo lwabanqolobi. Amanani asezantsi okomeleza acelwe yiPentagon ayadida. Ukuba i-US yayifuna ukubhangisa iTaliban kunye ne-Islamic State, babeza kwenza uMbutho uphela waseMelika ubandakanyeke kulo msebenzi. Uninzi lwabantu baseMelika alukhathali ngezenzo zomkhosi wase-US e-Afghanistan, eIraq okanye eSyria.
Ukonwaba
“Kwinqaku le<em>New York Times lomhla ka-Agasti 7, 1967, kwacatshulwa iinjengele ezimbini ezingaziwayo ezathi zalitshabalalisa izihlandlo ezithathu icandelo elinye loMntla Vietnam: “'Ndileqe iiyunithi zomkhosi ophambili kwilizwe lonke kwaye ifuthe libe lizilch. Kwakungathethi nto ebantwini. Ngaphandle kokuba umxholo owakhayo noxhokonxa ngakumbi kunoko uchasene nobukomanisi obulula unokufunyanwa, imfazwe ibonakala inokuqhubeka de umntu adinwe aze ayeke, nto leyo enokuthabatha izizukulwana.’”
Esinye isicatshulwa somnye jikelele sasi Ngalo lonke ixesha iWestmorland isenza intetho malunga nokuba ulunge kangakanani uMkhosi waseVietnam waseVietnam, ndifuna ukumbuza ukuba kutheni eqhubeka ebiza abantu abaninzi baseMelika. Imfuno yakhe yokomelezwa ngumlinganiselo wokusilela kwethu kunye nabaseVietnam.’”
Faka esikhundleni "i-anti-communism kunye neVietnam" kunye neTaliban, i-Islamic State okanye nayiphi na iqela lamaphekula kunye neemvakalelo ezivela kwi-1967 zifanelekile kwi-2017.
Ngeendlela ezininzi, uluntu lwaseMelika lwahlulahlulwe ngokwenkcubeko kwaye lufakwe isitovu kumacandelo amathathu: ekhohlo, ekunene naphakathi. Oku akufani nokwasekupheleni kweminyaka yee-1960, ekuqaleni kweminyaka yee-1970. I-Aggressive Alt-Righter's ithathe i-mantel ye-Neo-White Nationalism, ingcamango efumana abahlobo kwi-Republican White House kunye neSebe lezoBulungisa kwi-Gqwetha likaJefferson Sessions.
IDemocrat Ekhohlo isakhalaza ngokuphulukana noHillary Clinton kuTrump ngo-2016 kwaye okwangoku, akukho qonga linamandla lokuchasa i-Alt Right okanye ukubhenela abalandeli bayo abalahlekileyo. IZiko eliZimeleyo lijonge eKhohlo nasekunene kwaye liyayicekisa ingcamango engqongqo, engaguqukiyo abayiphetheyo. Ukuba izitovu ziyaqhekeka ngeyona ndlela imbi, izitrato kulapho iinkanuko ziya kulwelwa khona njengoko zazinjalo ngexesha leVietnam.
Vietnam
Kukho ezinye izinto ezifanayo kumava aseVietnam. Ulawulo lukaMongameli uDonald Trump luphazamisekile kwaye luphantsi kophando lweSebe lezoBulungisa laseMelika. I-CNN ibika ukuba owayesakuba ngumlawuli we-FBI uJames Comey uya kunika ubungqina kwi-Senate yase-US ukuba uTrump wamxina ukuba amise uphando kwimisebenzi yempembelelo yaseRashiya ngexesha logqatso lukamongameli lwe-2016. Ilizwe lilizwe elisemfazweni kwaye lidlala ngothando ngemfazwe echasene noMntla Korea. Ulawulo lukaTrump lunekona kwaye luyingozi.
Kunzima ukungathelekisi kunye namava eMfazwe yaseVietnam. Ukudibana kweentshukumo ezichasene nemfazwe kunye nokuchasana nobuhlanga, uphando lolwaphulo-mthetho lukamongameli uRichard Nixon, kunye notshintsho lolwandle lwenkcubeko olucela umngeni kucwangco olusekiweyo, lwalungazange lubekho ngaphambili. Iziporho zayo zibonakala ngathi zikhathaza iRiphabhlikhi yaseMelika ngalo mzuzu ngexesha.
Ngokutsho kwe-History.com: "Nangona imikhosi yase-US kunye ne-Vietnamese yaseMzantsi ikwazile ukubamba uhlaselo lwamaKomanisi e-Tet, iindaba zokuhlaselwa (kuquka iMfazwe ende yaseHue) zothusa kwaye zothusa uluntu lwaseMelika kwaye zayiphelisa ngakumbi inkxaso yemfazwe. Ngaphandle kweengxwelerha ezinzima, iNorth Vietnam iphumelele uloyiso olucwangcisiweyo ngeTet Offensive, njengoko uhlaselo lwaphawula inguqu kwiMfazwe yaseVietnam kunye nokuqala kokurhoxa kancinci, okubuhlungu kwaseMelika kulo mmandla.
Imbali iyaziphinda kuba abantu bazizidalwa eziphindaphindayo.
“Kwaye ubuqhophololo bukrwitsha ilizwe. Amapolisa ajonge abantu kwaye abantu abaqondi. Asazi ukuba siyikhathalele njani na eyeyethu imicimbi, kuba ihlabathi liphela limelwe kukuba libe njengathi kanye. Ngoku silwa imfazwe phaya kodwa nokuba ngubani ophumeleleyo asikwazi kuzihlawula iindleko.” I-Steppenwolf Monster, ngo-1969.
