Othandekayo u-Aspiring Ranger,
Mhlawumbi usandula ukuphumelela kwisikolo samabanga aphakamileyo kwaye ngokungathandabuzekiyo sele usayine ikhontrakthi yoKhetho lwama-40 eqinisekisa ukuba udubule kwinkqubo yokufundisa iRanger (RIP). Ukuba uyenzile nge-RIP ngokuqinisekileyo uya kuthunyelwa ukuba uye kulwa kwiMfazwe yeHlabathi yoBugrogrisi. Uya kuba yinxalenye yento ebendihlala ndiyiva kusithiwa “yincam yomkhonto.”
Imfazwe osingise kuyo sele iqhubeka ixesha elide ngokumangalisayo. Khawucinge ngoku: wawuneminyaka emihlanu ubudala xa ndandiqala ukuthunyelwa e-Afghanistan ngo-2002. Ngoku ndiya kuba nengwevu, ndilahlekelwa kancinci phezulu, kwaye ndinosapho. Ndikholelwe, ihamba ngokukhawuleza kunokuba ulindele.
Wakuba ufikelele kwiminyaka ethile, akunakukwazi ukuzibamba ukucinga ngezigqibo ozenzileyo (okanye, ngandlel’ ithile, wenzelwa wena) ngoxa wawuselula. Ndiyakwenza oko kwaye ngenye imini uya kukwenza, nawe. Ukucinga ngeminyaka yam kumkhosi wama-75 weRanger, ngexesha apho imfazwe uya kuzifumana untywiliselwe kuyo isaqala, ndizamile ukubhala phantsi izinto ezimbalwa abangakuxeleli zona kwiofisi yokuqesha. okanye kwiimuvi zaseHollywood ezixhasa umkhosi ezinokuthi zibe nefuthe kwisigqibo sakho sokujoyina. Mhlawumbi amava am aya kukunika imbono ongakhange uyicinge.
Ndicinga ukuba ungena emkhosini ngesizathu esifanayo malunga nawo wonke umntu ovolontiya: kuvakala ngathi lukhetho lwakho kuphela. Mhlawumbi yayiyimali, okanye ijaji, okanye imfuneko yesithethe, okanye ukuphela kweenkwenkwezi zezemidlalo. Mhlawumbi usakholelwa ukuba i-US ilwela inkululeko kunye nedemokhrasi kwihlabathi liphela kunye nengozi ekhoyo evela "kubanqolobi." Mhlawumbi kubonakala ngathi yeyona nto ifanelekileyo yokwenza: ukukhusela ilizwe lethu kubunqolobi.
Imithombo yeendaba ibe sisixhobo esinamandla sepropaganda xa kuziwa ekukhuthazeni lo mfanekiso, nangona, njengomntu ongekho mkhosini, kusenokwenzeka ukuba ubulawe. omncinci kunomgrogrisi. Ndiyathemba ukuba awufuni kuzisola xa umdala kwaye kuyancomeka ukuba ufuna ukwenza into enenjongo ngobomi bakho. Ndiqinisekile ukuba unethemba lokuba ungoyena ugqwesileyo kwinto ethile. Yiyo loo nto ubhalisele ukuba yiRanger.
Ungenzi mpazamo: nokuba yintoni na iindaba ezinokuthi zithini malunga nokutshintsha kwabalinganiswa i-US iyalwa kunye nokutshintsha kweempembelelo emva ukutshintsha amagama "yemisebenzi" yethu yomkhosi kwihlabathi liphela, mna nawe siya kuba silwe kwimfazwe enye. Kunzima ukukholelwa ukuba uya kusingenisa kunyaka we-14 weMfazwe yeHlabathi yoBugrogrisi (nokuba yintoni na abayibiza ngayo ngoku). I wonder yeyiphi kwezi I-668 zasezantsi zaseMzantsi kwihlabathi jikelele uya kuthunyelwa kuyo.
Kwiziseko zayo, imfazwe yethu yehlabathi ayintsonkothanga kakhulu ukuyiqonda kunokuba unokucinga, nangona kunzima ukugcina-ukulandelela iintshaba oya kuthunyelwa emva - nokuba yi-al-Qaeda ("phakathi," i-al-Qaeda e-Arabia. I-Peninsula, eMagreb, njl.), okanye iTaliban, okanye i-al-Shabab eSomalia, okanye i-ISIS (eyaziwa ngokuba yi-ISIL, okanye i-Islamic State), okanye i-Iran, okanye i-al-Nusra Front, okanye i-Bashar al-Assad yolawulo Siriya. Kuyavunywa, kunzima kancinci ukugcina ikhadi lamanqaku elifanelekileyo. Ngaba amaShia okanye amaSunni angamaqabane ethu? Ngaba yiSilamsi esisilwa nabo? Ngaba sichasene ne-ISIS okanye ulawulo lwe-Assad okanye zombini?
Kanye ukuba la maqela angoobani imiba, kodwa kukho ingongoma esisiseko ekulula kakhulu ukuyihoya kule minyaka yamva nje: ukusukela kwimfazwe yokuqala yeli lizwe yase-Afghan ngeminyaka yoo-1980s (eyakhuthaza ukusekwa kwe-al-Qaeda yantlandlolo), ilizwe lethu lasemzini kunye nomkhosi. imigaqo-nkqubo idlale indima ebalulekileyo ekudaleni abo uya kuthunyelwa ukuba balwe. Nje ukuba ukwilinye lamadabi amathathu e-75th Ranger Regiment, ikhonkco-lomyalelo liyakwenza konke okusemandleni ukunciphisa ezopolitiko zehlabathi kunye nokulunga kwexesha elide leplanethi ukuya kwezona zinto zincinci kwaye zithathe indawo yazo ngeyona inkulu imisebenzi: ukupolisha ibhutsi, iibhedi ezenziwe ngokugqibeleleyo, amaqela okudubula aqinileyo kuluhlu lokudubula, kunye neebhondi zakho kunye neeRanger ngasekunene kwakho nasekhohlo.
Kwiimeko ezinjalo, kunzima-ndiyazi kakuhle-kodwa akunakwenzeka ukuba uhlale ukhumbula ukuba izenzo zakho emkhosini zibandakanya ngaphezu kwayo nantoni na ephambi kwakho okanye kwizinto ozibonayo kwimipu nangaliphi na ixesha. Imisebenzi yethu yasemkhosini kwihlabathi liphela-kwaye kwakamsinya oko kuya kuthetha ukuba-uvelise zonke iintlobo ze-blowback. Ndicinga ngendlela ethile, bendithunyelwe ngo-2002 ukuba ndiphendule kwi-blowback eyenziwe yiMfazwe yase-Afghan yokuqala kwaye sele uza kuthunyelwa ukuba ujongane ne-blowback eyenziwe yinguqulelo yam yesibini.
Ndibhala le leta ngethemba lokuba ukukunika intwana yebali lam kungakunceda ukukubekela umfanekiso omkhulu.
Makhe ndiqale ngosuku lwam lokuqala "emsebenzini." Ndikhumbula ndilahla ibhegi yam ye-canvas duffle emazantsi ebhanti yam kwiNkampani yeCharlie, kwaye ngokukhawuleza ndabizelwa kwiofisi yam yeplatoon. Ndibaleke ndehla ngepaseji evuthuluke kakuhle, ndisithwe “yimascot” yeqela: umzobo wohlobo lwe-Grim-Reaper kunye nomsongo obomvu nomnyama weqela phantsi kwawo. Yayindanda ngathi yinto oyibonayo kwindlu enehange kudonga lwe-cinder block edibana ne-ofisi kasajini. Kwaba ngathi undijongile njengoko ndanditsalel’ ingqalelo kumnyango wakhe, iintsimbi zokubila zisebunzi. “Ukhululekile… Kutheni ulapha, Fanning? Kutheni ucinga ukuba ube yiRanger?" Yonke le nto wayeyithetha ngomoya wokukrokra.
Ndothukile, emva kokukhwaza ndiphuma ebhasini nazo zonke izixhobo zam, ngaphaya kwengca ephambi kwenkampu yenkampani, kunye nezitepsi ezithathu eziya kwikhaya lam elitsha, ndaphendula ndithandabuza, “Umm, ndifuna ukunceda ukuthintela enye 9 /11, iSajini yokuqala. Imele ukuba yayivakala ngathi ngumbuzo.
“Inye kuphela impendulo kule nto ndikubuza yona, nyana. Oko kukuthi: ufuna ukuva igazi elishushu elibomvu lotshaba lwakho lihla ngencakuba yemela yakho.
Ukuthatha amabhaso akhe omkhosi, iifolda ezininzi ezinde ze-manila kwidesika yakhe, kunye neefoto zento eyaba yiplatoon yakhe e-Afghanistan, ndatsho ngelizwi elikhulu elakhala ngokumangalisayo, ubuncinci kum, "Roger, Sajini yokuqala!”
Wawisa intloko waza waqalisa ukugcwalisa ifom. “Sigqibile apha,” watsho ngaphandle kokuzihlupha ngokujonga phezulu kwakhona.
Impendulo yeplatoon sajini yayinophawu olwahlukileyo lwenkanuko kuyo kodwa, ingqongwe zizo zonke ezo folda, naye wayejonge kum njengegosa. Ngokuqinisekileyo umbuzo onjalo ubufanelwe yinto engaphezulu kunemizuzwana engeyobuntu neyokuhlalisana endiyichithe kulomnyango.
Nangona kunjalo, ndajikeleza ndaza ndabaleka ndibuyela kwigumbi lam lokuhlala ukuze ndikhulule, kungekuphela nje izinto zam kodwa kwanempendulo yakhe ephazamisayo kumbuzo wakhe nowam, “Roger, Sajini Wokuqala!” phendula. Kude kube yiloo mzuzu, andizange ndiyicinge into yokubulala ngolu hlobo. Ngenene bendisayine ngombono wokuthintela enye i-9/11. Ukubulala kwakuseyinto engaqondakaliyo kum, into endandingayilindelanga. Ngokungathandabuzekiyo wayekwazi oku. Wayesenza ntoni ke?
Njengoko usiya kubomi bakho obutsha, mandizame ukukhupha impendulo yakhe kunye namava am njengeRanger yakho.
Masiqale loo nkqubo yokukhulula ngocalucalulo: Elo yayilixesha lokuqala nelokugqibela ndeva igama elithi “utshaba” emfazweni. Igama eliqhelekileyo kwiyunithi yam ibisithi "Hajji." Ngoku, iHajji lilizwi lembeko phakathi kwamaSilamsi, libhekisa kumntu oye wagqiba ngempumelelo uhambo oluya kwiNdawo Engcwele yaseMecca eSaudi Arabia. Kumkhosi wase-US, nangona kunjalo, yayiyi-slur eyayithetha into enkulu kakhulu.
Amajoni akwiyunithi yam acingela nje ukuba ubuthunywa beqela elincinci labantu abaye bawa phantsi iTwin Towers baza bafaka umngxuma kwiPentagon bangasetyenziswa kuye nawuphi na umntu wenkolo phakathi kwamaSilamsi angaphezu kwe-1.6 yezigidigidi kule planethi. Igosa lomkhosi laliza kundinceda ngokukhawuleza ukuba lindifake kwimo yokutyhola iqela kunye nolo “tshaba”. Ndandiza kufundiswa uhlaselo lwezixhobo. Intlungu ebangelwa yi-9 / 11 yayiza kudibaniswa kwi-dynamics yeqela lemihla ngemihla yeyunithi yethu. Le yindlela ababeza kundenza ngayo ukuba ndilwe ngokufanelekileyo. Ndandisele ndiza kwahlukana nobomi bam bangaphambili kwaye kwakuza kubandakanyeka ukulawulwa ngokwasengqondweni. Le yinto ekufuneka uzilungiselele yona.
Xa uqala ukuva uhlobo olufanayo lolwimi kwikhonkco-lo-myalelo kwilinge labo lokuthomalalisa abantu ozokulwa, khumbula ukuba I-93% yawo onke amaSilamsi yalugxeka uhlaselo lwe-9/11. Kwaye abo babevelana bathi boyika ukuhlala e-US kwaye bacaphula izizathu zezopolitiko ezingezizo ezenkolo ngenkxaso yabo.
Kodwa, ukuba buthuntu, njengoGeorge W. Bush watsho kwangoko (kwaye ayizange iphinde iphindwe), imfazwe yobugrogrisi yayicingelwa kwezona ndawo ziphakamileyo “njengemfazwe yomnqamlezo.” Ndithe xa ndikwi Rangers, yanikwa lonto. Ifomula yayilula ngokwaneleyo: i-al-Qaeda kunye neTaliban bamele yonke i-Islam, eyayilutshaba lwethu. Ngoku, kumdlalo weqela elityala, i-ISIS, kunye nelizwe layo elincinci e-Iraq naseSyria, ithathe indima. Yicace kwakhona loo nto phantse onke amaSilamsi zigatye iindlela zayo. Nditsho neSunni kwingingqi apho i-ISIS isebenza khona ziya zisanda ukwala iqela. Kwaye ngabo amaSunni anokuthi ngokwenene athathe i-ISIS xa ixesha lilungile.
Ukuba ufuna ukunyaniseka kuwe, musa ukutshayelwa kucalucalulo lwangoku. Umsebenzi wakho kufuneka ube kukuphelisa imfazwe, ungayiqhubeki. Ungaze uyilibale loo nto.
Eyesibini indawo yokumisa kule nkqubo yokukhutshwa kufuneka ibe yintlupheko: Emva kweenyanga ezimbalwa, ekugqibeleni ndathunyelwa eAfghanistan. Safika ezinzulwini zobusuku. Njengoko iingcango kwi-C-5 yethu zavuleka, ivumba lothuli, udongwe, kunye neziqhamo ezindala zaqengqeleka kwisisu saloo nqwelo-moya. Ndandilindele ukuba iimbumbulu ziqalise ukubethelwa ndim njengoko ndandiyishiya, kodwa sasikwi-Bagram Air Base, indawo ekhuseleke kakhulu ngo-2002.
Gxumela phambili kwiiveki ezimbini kunye nokuhamba ngenqwelo-ntaka yeeyure ezintathu kwaye sasikwisiseko sethu sokusebenza phambili. Ngentsasa emva kokuba sifikile ndabona inkosikazi yase-Afghan ibetha kumhlaba omthubi oqinileyo ngefosholo, izama ukugrumba isihlahla esincinci ngaphandle kweendonga zamatye zesiseko. Ngelihlo le-burqa yakhe ndiye ndakwazi ukubona intwana yobuso bakhe obusele bukhulile. Iyunithi yam yemka kweso siseko, imatsha ecaleni kwendlela, ndinethemba (ndikrokrela) ukuvusa ingxaki encinci. Sasizenza isithiyelo, kodwa asizange silunywe.
Xa sabuyayo kwiiyure ezimbalwa kamva, elo bhinqa lalisamba yaye litheza iinkuni, ngokungathandabuzekiyo laliza kuphekela intsapho yalo isidlo sangokuhlwa ngobo busuku. Sasineziqhushumbisi zethu eziqhushumbayo, imipu yethu eyi-M242 eyayidubula imijikelo engama-200 ngomzuzu, iiglasi zethu zokubona ebusuku, nokutya okuninzi - konke kuvaliwe kwaye zonke zinencasa efanayo. Sasixhotyiswe ngcono kakhulu ukujongana neentaba zase-Afghanistan kunalo mfazi-okanye kwakubonakala ngathi ngoko. Kodwa ke, yayililizwe lakhe, ingelilo elethu, kunye nentlupheko yalo, njengaleyo yeendawo ezininzi onokuthi uzifumane kuzo, ndiyakuqinisekisa, ngokungafaniyo nantoni na owakha wayibona. Uya kuba yinxalenye yomkhosi wezobuchwephesha ophambili eMhlabeni kwaye uya kubuliswa ngabo bangamahlwempu. Izixhobo zakho kuluntu oluhlwempuzekileyo ziya kuziva zilihlazo kumanqanaba amaninzi. Ngokwam, ndaziva ngathi ndingumntu oxhaphazayo ixesha elininzi e-Afghanistan.
Ngoku, lixesha lokukhupha “utshaba”: Uninzi lwexesha lam e-Afghanistan yayizolile kwaye izolile. Ewe, iirokethi ngamanye amaxesha zazihlala kwiziseko zethu, kodwa uninzi lwamaTaliban lwalunikezele ngexesha ndingena kweli lizwe. Ndandingayazi ngoko, kodwa njengoko uAnand Gopal enzile umbiko kwincwadi yakhe ebalaseleyo, Akukho Amadoda Alungileyo Phakathi Kwabaphilayo. Ke iiyunithi ezifana nezam zathunyelwa ukuya kukhangela “utshaba.” Umsebenzi wethu yayikukutsala amaTaliban-okanye nabani na ngokwenene-abuyele edabini.
Ndikholelwe, yayimbi. Sasidla ngokujolisa ngokwaneleyo abantu abamsulwa ngokusekwe kubukrelekrele obubi kwaye kwezinye iimeko side sibambe abantu base-Afghan ababethembise ngokunyanisekileyo kwimishini yase-US. Kwabaninzi ababengamalungu eTaliban, yaba lukhetho olucacileyo: ukulwa okanye ukulamba, ukuthatha izixhobo kwakhona okanye ukubanjwa ngokungenamkhethe kwaye mhlawumbi ubulawe. Ekugqibeleni amaTaliban aphinda ahlanganisana kwaye namhlanje akhona u buyele. Ndiyazi ngoku ukuba ubunkokeli belizwe lethu belunoxolo ngokwenyani engqondweni, ngebekuphelile e-Afghanistan ekuqaleni kwe2002.
Ukuba uthunyelwe ngenqanawa e-Iraq kwimfazwe yethu yamva nje apho, khumbula ukuba abemi beSunni oza kujolisa kubo basabela kulawulo lwe-Shia oluxhaswa yi-US e-Baghdad olubenze bamdaka iminyaka. I-ISIS ikhona kwinqanaba elibalulekileyo ngenxa yokuba amalungu amaninzi e-Ba'ath kaSaddam Hussein ayebhalwe ukuba lutshaba njengoko bezama ukunikezela emva kohlaselo lwase-US luka-2003. Abaninzi kubo babenomnqweno wokubuyiselwa kuluntu olusebenzayo, kodwa akukho. ithamsanqa elinjalo; kwaye ke, ngokuqinisekileyo, igosa eliphambili lolawulo lukaBush lathumela eBaghdad ivele yachithwa Umkhosi kaSaddam Hussein waza wayiphosa 400,000 amajoni aphuma esiya ezitalatweni ngexesha lokungaqeshwa kwabantu abaninzi.
Yayiyindlela ephawulekayo yokudala ukuchasa kwelinye ilizwe apho ukunikezela kwakunganelanga ngokwaneleyo. Abantu baseMelika ngelo xesha babefuna ukulawula i-Iraq (kunye noovimba bayo). Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, ngo-2006, baxhasa i-autocrat ye-Shia uNouri al-Maliki njengenkulumbuso kwimeko apho amajoni aseShia ayesanda nenjongo yokuhlambulula abantu baseSunni kwikomkhulu laseIraq.
Xa ndinonikwa i ulawulo loloyiko eyalandela, ayingothusi ukufumana amagosa omkhosi wangaphambili weBaath zikhundla eziphambili kwi-ISIS kunye neSunni ekhetha eso sinxibo sibi njengesona sincinci sobubi obubini kwihlabathi layo. Kwakhona, utshaba oluthunyelwa ngenqanawa ukuya kulwa, okungenani ngokuyinxenye, a imveliso lokugxuphuleka kwekhonkco lomyalelo wakho kwilizwe elizimeleyo. Kwaye khumbula ukuba, nokuba zithini na izenzo zalo ezimbi, olu tshaba alubonisi sisongelo kukhuseleko lwaseMelika, ubuncinci uthi USekela Mongameli uJoe Biden. Yivumele loo nto ingene okwethutyana kwaye emva koko uzibuze ukuba ngaba ungayithatha nzulu imiyalelo yakho yokumatsha.
Okulandelayo, kule nkqubo yokukhulula, qwalasela abangalwi: Xa abantu base-Afghan abangaziwayo bedubula kwiintente zethu ngeziqhushumbisi zerokethi ezindala zaseRussia, sasiqikelela ukuba iirokethi zivela phi size sibize uhlaselo lwasemoyeni. Uthetha ngeebhombu ezingama-500. Kwaye ngoko abantu abaqhelekileyo babeza kufa. Ndikholelwe, yiloo nto kanye isembindini wemfazwe yethu eqhubekayo. Nawuphi na umntu waseMelika onjengawe esiya kwindawo yemfazwe kuyo nayiphi na le minyaka wayenokuthi abone into esiyibiza ngokuba "umonakalo wesibambiso." Ngabantu abafayo.
Inani labangengawo amajoni abulewe ukusukela nge-9/11 ngaphesheya koMbindi Mpuma oMkhulu kwimfazwe yethu eqhubekayo ibimangalisa kwaye isoyikisa. Zilungiselele, xa usilwa, ukukhupha abantu abaninzi kunokudubula imipu okanye “abahlaseli” abaphethe ibhombu. Ubuncinane, kuqikelelwa Abantu base174,000 Wafa ngogonyamelo ngenxa yeemfazwe zase-US eIraq, Afghanistan, nasePakistan phakathi kuka-2001 noAprili 2014. 70% kwabo bafayo kuqikelelwa ukuba yayingabahlali. Ke zilungiselele ukujongana nokufa ngokungeyomfuneko kwaye ucinge ngabo bonke abo baphulukene nezihlobo kunye namalungu osapho kwezi mfazwe, kwaye bona ngokwabo ngoku banamanxeba ubomi. Uninzi lwabantu abangazange bacinge malunga nokulwa naluphi na uhlobo lwemfazwe okanye ukuhlasela abantu baseMelika ngoku bayayonwabisa imbono. Ngamanye amazwi, uya kube uqhubela phambili imfazwe, uyinikezela kwixesha elizayo.
Okokugqibela, kukho inkululeko kunye nedemokhrasi yokukhulula, ukuba ngokwenene siza kukhupha loo ngxowa ye-duffel.: Nantsi into enomdla onokuthi uyithathele ingqalelo, ukuba ukusasaza inkululeko kunye nedemokhrasi kwihlabathi liphela bekusengqondweni yakho. Nangona iirekhodi zingaphelelanga kulo mbandela, amapolisa abulele into enje 5,000 abantu kweli lizwe ukususela 9/11 - ngaphezulu, ngamanye amazwi, ngaphezu inani lamajoni American ababulawa "ngabavukeli" ngexesha elifanayo. Kwakuloo minyaka, iimpahla ezifana neeRanger kunye neminye imikhosi yase-US ibulale abantu abaninzi kwihlabathi liphela, ijolise abona bantu bahluphekayo emhlabeni. Kwaye ngaba bambalwa abanqolobi kufutshane? Ngaba yonke le nto inengqiqo eninzi kuwe?
Xa ndandibhalisela ukuya emkhosini, ndandinethemba lokuphucula ihlabathi. Endaweni yoko ndanceda ukuba kube yingozi ngakumbi. Ndandisandul’ ukuphumelela ekholejini. Kwakhona bendinethemba lokuba, ngokuvolontiya, ndiza kuhlawulelwa imali-mboleko yam yokufunda. Njengawe, bendikhangela uncedo olusebenzayo, kodwa nentsingiselo. Ndandifuna ukwenza okulungileyo ngosapho lwam kunye nelizwe lam. Xa ndijonga emva, kucace ngokwaneleyo kum ukuba ukuswela kwam ulwazi malunga nemishini ebesiyenza kundingcatshile-kunye nawe kunye nathi.
Ndinibhalela ngokukodwa kuba ndifuna nazi ukuba akukafiki ixesha lokuba nitshintshe ingqondo. Nda. Ndiye ndaba ngumxhathisi wemfazwe emva kokuthunyelwa kwam okwesibini e-Afghanistan ngazo zonke izizathu endizikhankanye apha ngasentla. Ndagqiba ndakhupha izinto, ndatsho. Ukuyeka emkhosini kwakuyeyona nto yayinzima kodwa inomvuzo ebomini bam. Injongo yam kukuthatha into endiyifunde emkhosini kwaye ndiyizise kubafundi besikolo samabanga aphakamileyo kunye nabafundi beekholeji njengolunye uhlobo lomqashi. Mninzi kakhulu umsebenzi omele wenziwe, xa unikwe 10,000 abaqeshe emkhosini e US ukusebenza kunye phantse $ 700 yezigidi uhlahlo lwabiwo-mali lwentengiso. Ngapha koko, abantwana kufuneka beve omabini amacala.
Ndiyathemba ukuba le leta iyindawo yokutsiba kuwe. Kwaye ukuba, ngalo naliphi na ithuba, awukatyikityi isivumelwano soKhetho lwama-40 okwangoku, awunyanzelekanga. Unokuba ngumqeshi osebenzayo ngaphandle kokuba ngumfana owayesakuba ngumkhosi. Abantu abatsha kulo lonke eli lizwe bawadinga ngamandla amandla akho, umnqweno wakho wokuba ngowona ubalaseleyo, ukufuna kwakho intsingiselo. Sukudlala e-Iraq okanye e-Afghanistan okanye eYemen okanye eSomalia okanye naphina kwenye indawo iMfazwe yeHlabathi yoBugrogrisi inokukuthumela.
Njengoko besisithi kwiRanger…
