E-Okinawa-Ekupheleni kuka-Okthobha ka-2015, ndandikunye nabaphembeleli boxolo be-3 base-Okinawa kunye nomlweli womanyano waseBritane kukhenketho lokuchasa iziseko zomkhosi wase-US. Emva kweyure yokuqhubela emantla usuka kwisixeko saseNago, sinqumla imiwonyo enzulu kunye namatheku aluhlaza akhazimlayo, sasondela kwihlathi elishinyeneyo, apho iziko lomkhosi wase-US ekukuphela kwalo likhona iziko loqeqesho lwemfazwe yasehlathini, phezulu kweyona ndawo isemantla esiqithi saseOkinawa.
Njengoko sasiqhubeka siqhuba, ngequbuliso uhola wendlela wavalwa ziimoto zomkhosi ezinkulu ezifihlakeleyo, saza saphuma ukuze siphande. Enye yezo nqwelo-mafutha yayiyeyabantu abaxhobileyo eyayinamajoni awayebonakala ngathi amalunga nama-25 ngaphakathi, amanye ayejonge kuthi ngokubuza. Ndiye ndazulisa bambalwa ndawangawangisa umva. Sabukela amajoni amabini ephuma aza alathisa izithuthi ezijikeleze i-convoy yawo, ngelixa elinde ukungena kwisango elikhulu leziko loqeqesho. Kwaphela imizuzu embalwa sicula sibetha amagubu ethu esangweni. Sakuba isithuthi sokuqala sasusa nakuphi na ukuxinana esasinakho esangweni, zonke iimoto zakhawuleza zaphuma kuhola wendlela zaza zanyamalala kwiziko loqeqesho.
Umbono onjalo ubonakala uyinto eqhelekileyo kulo mmandla, ukanti eyona nto ixhalabisa ngakumbi kukuba iinqwelo-moya zomkhosi zibhabhela phantsi kwimizi namabala abantu. Enye intsapho, egcina imitha ye<em>decibel meter ekhayeni layo, ithi maxa wambi ingxolo ifikelela kwi-100 decibels yaye maxa wambi ubuso babaqhubi beenqwelo-moya buyabonakala. Ukugqabhuka kobushushu obuvela koomatshini ababhabhayo kunye nevumba lepetroli liyazicaphukisa ngakumbi izivamvo.
Umkhosi womoya wase-US uceba ukwakha ii-helipad ezintsha ezintandathu ehlathini njengenxalenye yesivumelwano sokunika malunga nesiqingatha se-acreage yeziko loqeqesho ukubuyela eJapan. Nangona kunjalo, kanye embindini weziza zicetywayo ze-helipad kukho i-Takae, ilali enabahlali abangaphezulu kancinane kwe-150. Ngabantu abaya kubandezeleka ngenxa yokwanda kwetrafikhi yomoya eqinisekileyo ukuba iya kuba nesiphumo ukuba ii-helipads zakhiwe. Kuya kufuneka banyamezele ingozi enokwenzeka yengozi—ubuncinane bekukho iingozi zeenqwelo-moya ezingama-46 ukususela ngowe-1972, yaye ngowe-1959 inqwelo-moya eyayithwele imijukujelwa emi-2 yantlitheka esikolweni, yabulala abantu abayi-17 yaza yenzakalisa abangama-200.
Ngoku ekubeni umkhosi womoya unethoyi entsha, inqwelo-ntaka iMV-22 Osprey, bebaninzi abaqhubi beenqwelomoya abaqeqeshwayo abaphuma besiya kubaleka. Ngelishwa, i-Osprey iseke irekhodi lokhuseleko olubi kakhulu xa kuthelekiswa neemodeli zangaphambili, kwaye yintoni eyenza ukuba ithemba lengozi liphazamise ngakumbi abahlali kukuba ii-propellers zayo zenzelwe ngokukodwa ukuba ziphazamise impembelelo kwaye zisasazeke ecaleni, kude nomqhubi. . Olu phawu "lokhuseleko" alunakukhuseleka kubantu abanokuthi babukele.
Abahlali baseTakae bakwakholelwa ukuba umkhosi wase-US ungathanda ukusebenzisa ilali yabo njengenxalenye yoqeqesho, ingcinga ebonakala ingenakufikeleleka emva kokuqwalasela okwenzeka ngexesha leMfazwe yaseVietnam. Ngelo xesha, umkhosi wase-US wakha ilali “eyezidubedube” ehlathini waza wanyanzelela abahlali baseTakae, omnye oneminyaka emithandathu ubudala, ukuba banxibe impahla emnyama baze baqhubeke ngokungathi bahlala kwindawo enqabisekileyo yaseVietcong. Abahlali ababizelwe emkhosini bade bacelwa ukuba benze uhlaselo oluhlekisayo oluvela kwilali.
Ngoku, abahlali baseTakae kunye nabasebenzi bokubambisana abavela kwezinye iindawo zase-Okinawa bagcina iinkampu zoqhanqalazo ezi-2 ezivala isiphelo sendlela yokufikelela kwiindawo ezimbini zokwakha i-helipad. Iindlela zokungena ezi-2 ezingaphezulu kwi-24 esele yakhiwe i-helipads ivalwe ngokusisigxina kunye neenqwelo zokubethelwa ezipakiweyo ezijikelezwe luhlobo lwe-scaffolding edibeneyo. Ubuncinci abaphembeleli abambalwa bajonga indlela eya kwii-helipad ezingagqitywanga iiyure ezingama-XNUMX ngosuku, rhoqo kwiishifti ezijikelezayo. Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, izithuthi zokwakha azikwazanga ukungena kwindlela yokufikelela ukuze zigqibe ukwakha ii-helipads.
Ngosuku endatyelela ngalo kwinkampu yoqhankqalazo, ndadibana noNjingalwazi uKosuzu, weYunivesithi yaseRyukyu. Ngeempelaveki uzichithela kwinkampu yaseTakae. Ingcali kwiJografi yaseMntla Melika, ngakumbi kwingingqi yeCaribbean, uthi intshukumo yeTakae ifumana inkuthazo enkulu kumzabalazo we-1990s owathi wagqiba uqeqesho lomkhosi wase-US kwisiqithi sasePuerto Rican eVieques.
"Omnye wabakhankasi basePuerto Rican beza e-Okinawa ukuze asincede sijikeleze ngokupheleleyo i-Futenma Air Base emva kwe-1995. Ndivakalelwa kukuba ubudlelwane be-US kunye ne-Okinawa bukwaluhlobo lobukholoniyali."
Injongo yam ekuhambeni ukuya e-Okinawa kukuxelela abanye abantu base-US malunga naloo nyani, yeziseko ezigcinwe kumhlaba ohluthwe ngamandla. Ngokwaneleyo kwesiphithiphithi esizingisileyo, esivela kwicala lase-Okinawa nakwicala lase-US, siya kwenza kube nzima kakhulu kwi-US ukugcina iziseko zayo zaphesheya, kunokuba ivale nje.

Izimpendulo ze-3
NjengoPuerto Rican, ndiyazi ukuba i-Okinawans ihambe ngantoni. Phuma emkhosini waseMelika usuka eOkinawa!
IMelika ayinasizathu sokuba kwisiqithi sabo kwaye amaMelika kufuneka anyanzelise ukuzisa yonke imikhosi yethu exhobileyo ekhaya! Zonke ezo mfazwe zase-Iraq njl.njl. zichitha amafutha kwaye azinamveliso njengoko kungekho mntu eMelika ukhuselekile ngenxa yazo kwaye oko kubandakanya zonke izenzo eziyingozi ze-drone ngokunjalo! Abantu baseMelika kufuneka babe sekhaya besakha kwakhona amazwe ethu iibhulorho njl. sifuna imisebenzi apha hayi e-Okanawa okanye nakweliphi na ilizwe lasemzini!
Sifanele simke eOkinawa. Ndiyazi ukuba sisiqithi esincinci kwaye esihle kwaye umkhosi wethu uyonakalisa nje ngokubakho. Akulunganga ngokupheleleyo ukuthatha indawo ezongezelelekileyo zendalo ukuze zisetyenziswe emkhosini eOkinawa. Ngoku lixesha lokuba umkhosi wethu ushiye i-Okinawa kubantu abahlala apho.
