Ikhonkco elahlekileyo kwiNgxabano yeGund

I-America iphakame kwiingalo ngezibhamu. Ukuba inyanga edlulileyo "Ngomhla weMpilo Yethu," ekhangele ngaphezu kweebhiliyoni ezili-600 emhlabeni jikelele, ngaba kukho nawuphi na umqondiso, sinenkinga enkulu ngogonyamelo lwebhamu, kwaye abantu baxoshwa malunga nalo.

Kodwa oko kungathethiweyo malunga namajelo aqhelekileyo, okanye ngabaququzeleli kunye nabathathi-nxaxheba kwiNkqaso yokunyakaza kweMpilo yethu, kukudibanisa phakathi kwenkcubeko yobundlobongela bombundu kunye nenkcubeko yemfazwe, okanye impi, kulolu hlanga. U-Nik Cruz, umqhubi waseParkland, ngokutsha, ufundiswe indlela yokudubula isixhobo esibulalayo kwisikolo esaye sajolisa kwi-Dayacon Day Day Massacre. Ewe oko kulungile; bethu abantwana baqeqeshwe njengabahlaseli kwiivenkile zabo zesikolo, njengenxalenye ye-US Military Reserve Training Officers Corps (JROTC).

Phantse i-2,000 yezikolo eziphakamileyo zase-US zineenkqubo zokumakisha ze-JROTC, ezihlawulwa ngumhlawuli werhafu kunye nesitampu serabha yi-Congress. Iicafeteriya ziguqulwa zaba zizigaba zokudubula, apho abantwana, abaneminyaka eli-13 ubudala, bafunda ukubulala. Ngosuku uNik Cruz wavula ngalo umlilo kwabo wayefunda nabo, wayenxibe isikipa esinombhalo othi "JROTC". Imotto yeJROTC? "Ukukhuthaza abantu abaselula ukuba babe ngabemi abangcono." Ngokubaqeqesha baphathe umpu?

Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba kutheni iMelika ingangqubuzana neenkqubo zamanqaku omkhosi. Ndifuna ukwazi ukuba kutheni izigidi zingangqongqo kwizango zabameli kwaye zenqabe ukuhlawula irhafu, kwada kwaze kwasuswa izikolo zokuqhuma izicwangciso ezikhutshweyo ezikolweni. Okwangoku, i-hobnob yamajoni abaqeshwe nabafundi ngexesha lokuphuka kwexesha lesidlo, baqeqeshe indlela yokudubula kuloo ndawo yokutya kunye neenjongo zokuzibhenca. Akungabazeki ukuba umkhosi wempi unqabileyo, kwaye ucebisa umnotho. Okokude, ade abaqeqeshi bajike abafundi babo esikolweni kunye nootitshala.

Mhlawumbi into ebalulekileyo ngaphezu kwayo yonke into, nangona kunjalo, kukuba i-JROTC, kunye ne-US impi ngokubanzi, ifakwe kwisakhelo sethu senzululwazi njengabantu baseMerika, kangangokuthi ukubuza ukuba kukungabaza ukungathandabuzeki ngokunyaniseka kwelo hlanga kuluntu. Kum, oku kuchaza ukuba kutheni uxhulumaniso lwe-Nik Cruz JROTC alukho ukhetho kwitheyibhile kwiingxoxo malunga nodlova. Kutheni, ngoMatshi weNyanga yokuPhila kwethu kwiDkt., Xa oogxa bam bebambe iimpawu malunga neprogram ye-JROTC yamanqaku, abaxhasi baxhamla ngokuvuma kwaye baqhayisa ukuba babeyi-JROTC eqeqeshiwe.

Inkcubeko yemfazwe iyaphazamiseka kuluntu lwethu, ngokusebenzisa ifilimu yaseHollywood kunye nemidlalo yevidiyo, ukulwa kwamapolisa kunye neenkqubo ze-JROTC kunye ne-ROTC ezikolweni zethu. I-Pentagon ithola amagama, idilesi kunye neenombolo zomnxeba zabo bonke abantwana bethu, ngaphandle kokuba abazali baxelele izikolo zabo abantwana ukuba bazikhethe. Phantse sonke sinokugwetywa, ngokungazi okanye ngokungazi, ekuxhaseni ukusabalalisa kwezempi zase-US ngokunyanisekileyo kwethu kunye neerhafu zethu zerhafu.

Umyinge we-mass mass kulo lizwe, ngokubanzi, indoda yaseMerika eneembali zesifo sengqondo, iintlawulo zolwaphulo-mthetho, okanye ukusetyenziswa kweziyobisi ezingekho mthethweni, ngokutsho kweNgxelo ye-March 2018 eyayisanda kukhishwa yi-US Secret Services. Akayena umtsalane we-ISIS okanye u-Al-Qaeda. Enyanisweni, ukufunyaniswa kubonisa ukuba, ngaphezu kwayo nayiphi na ingcamango, abahlaseli bamanzi basoloko bekhuthazwa yi-vendetta. Ingxelo Yeenkonzo Zemfihlo ayithethiyo, nangona kunjalo, inani elingafaniyo labahlaseli bamanzi abaye baqeqeshwa ngumkhosi waseMelika. Ngelixa i-akhawunti ye-veterans i-13% yabantu abadala, idatha ibonisa ukuba ngaphezu kwe-1 / 3 yabantu abadala abenzi bokudlwengula obukhulu be-43 ukubulala okukhulu phakathi kwe-1984 kunye ne-2006 babekho emkhosini wase-US. Ukuqhubela phambili, uphando lwe-2015 kwi-Annals of Epidemiology lufumene ukuba i-veterans ibulale ngokwawo i-50% ephakamileyo kunabo abalingana nabo. Oku kuthethwa ngokubanzi malunga nefuthe leengqondo leemfazwe, kwaye, ndiza kuthetha, ukuxhatshazwa kwezinto ezinxamnye nemfazwe "thina ngokumelene nabo" iingcinga ze-JROTC kunye ne-ROTC ezifaka iingqondo ekuphuhliseni ulutsha, kungakhankanyi ukuba izakhono abazifundisayo.

Nangona ukufunyanwa kwezempi kunye nokufikelela kwisibhamu kukubeka umngcipheko kubantu baseMerika ekhaya, okwangoku, amajoni ethu aphesheya asebenze ngokugqithiseleyo kumapolisa kwihlabathi. Njengenkcitho yempi iye yagqithisa kwiminyaka emva nje, ngoku ilandele iipesenti ezingaphezu kwama-50 e-US yemali yokuqhelanisa ukuqonda, ngokubhekiselele kwiProjekthi yeZiprojekthi eziPhambili, ngokunjalo nobutsha. Nangona ilizwe lethu lingenakunzima "lokungenelela" kwezinye iintlanga, i-Index ye-Global Terrorism Index ibhalise ukwanda kwenyameko ekuhlaselweni kwamaphekula ukususela ekuqaleni kwe "imfazwe yenkxalabo" yethu kwi-2001 kuze kube ngoku. Abahlaziyi be-Intelligence analysts kunye namagosa asethathe umhlalaphantsi bayavuma ukuba imisebenzi yase-United States ibangela inzondo, inzondo, kunye ne-blowback ngakumbi kunokuba zikhusela. Ngokombiko weengqondo olwaphuliweyo onxamnye ne-Iraq, "nangona umonakalo omkhulu kunkokheli e-al-Qaida, usongelo oluvela kuma-Islamic extremists luye lwasasaza kubini nakwiindawo ezifihliweyo." Ngorhulumente wase-US usebenzisa imali eyi-$ 1 trillion rhoqo ngonyaka kwimfazwe kunye nokulungiselela imfazwe, kubandakanywa ukusekwa kwemikhosi kwii-800 ezisiseko kwihlabathi jikelele, akukho ncinane ekhohlo yesikhwama sikarhulumente esisetyenziselwa ukuchitha kwiimfuno zekhaya. I-American Society of Civil Engineers ibamba iziseko ze-US njenge-D +. Sibeka i-4th kwihlabathi ngokungafani kobutyebi, ngokwe-OECD. Amanani okufa kwabantwana base-US aphezulu kwihlabathi eliphuhlisiwe, ngokwe-UN Special Rapporteur uFilipu Alston. Iintlanga kulo lonke uhlanga alukwazi ukufikelela kumanzi acocekileyo okusela kunye nococeko olulungileyo, ilungelo lomntu we-UN ukuba i-US ayikwazi ukuyiqonda. Izigidi ezingama-40 zaseMerika zihlala kwintlupheko. Ngenxa yokuba le ntlupheko yokhuseleko olusisiseko loluntu, ngaba kuyimangaliswa ukuba abantu bangene kwimikhosi yokuxhoba kwezoqoqosho kunye nokucinga ukuba nenjongo, esekelwe kwimbali yethu yesizwe sokudibanisa inkonzo yempi kunye nesibindi?

Ukuba sifuna ukuthintela ukutshatyalaliswa kwamatyala alandelayo, kufuneka siyeke ukuvelisa inkcubeko yobundlobongela kunye nezobukhosi, kwaye oko kuqala ngokuphelisa iinkqubo ze-JROTC zempawu ezikolweni zethu.
