Umtshana wam, igqala lomkhosi elichithe ixesha elininzi le-20 kunye neminyaka yasemkhosini njengegosa eSouth Korea, ngoku ikwangumntu osebenzela emkhosini e-Afghanistan. Incoko yethu kuphela ngongcoliseko lomkhosi wase-US e-South Korea yayiyinto ye-nonstarter.
La mazwe mabini aseAsia, ahlukane kuphuhliso, uqoqosho kunye nozinzo, enento enye efanayo - iziseko zomkhosi ezomeleleyo zase-US, ilizwe lethu lithatha kancinci ukungabi naloxanduva lwezemali. Umngcolisi uhlawula (aka "uyayaphula, uyayilungisa") ayisebenzi kumkhosi waseMelika phesheya. Kananjalo abasebenzi basekuhlaleni kunye namajoni amaninzi ase-US abekwe kwezi ziseko banethuba lokuphumelela imbuyekezo yezonyango ngenxa yokugula kwabo okunxulumene nongcoliseko lomkhosi.
Cinga ngemingxunya yokutshisa umkhosi. Ngokukhawuleza emfazweni, i-DOD iyityeshele imigaqo yayo yokusingqongileyo kwaye yamkela imingxunya yokutshisa umoya ovulekileyo- "imililo enkulu enetyhefu" - kumakhulu amaziko ase-US eAfghanistan, Iraq nase Middle East. Babebekwe phakathi kwezindlu ezisisiseko, umsebenzi kunye neendawo zokutyela, kunye nolawulo lokungcoliseka komoya. Iitoni zenkunkuma- umndilili weepawundi ezili-10 ngejoni ngalinye-zitshisiwe kuzo yonke imihla, imini yonke nobusuku bonke, kubandakanya inkunkuma yamachiza kunye neyonyango, ioyile, iiplastiki, izibulala-zinambuzane kunye nezidumbu. I-Ash egcwele ngamakhulu eetyhefu kunye ne-carcinogens yenze mnyama umoya kunye neempahla ezifakiweyo, iibhedi, iidesika kunye neeholo zokutyela, ngophando lweOfisi yoBalo-mali lukaRhulumente. Imemo yomkhosi ka-2011 evuzayo ilumkisa ngelithi iingozi zempilo ezivela kwimingxunya yokutsha zinokunciphisa ukusebenza kwemiphunga kwaye zonyuse izifo zemiphunga kunye nentliziyo, phakathi kwazo i-COPD, i-asthma, i-atherosclerosis okanye ezinye izifo zentliziyo.
Ngokuqikelelweyo, abaphathi abasisiseko babavalele okwethutyana xa abezopolitiko kunye nabaphathi abaphezulu bezityelele.
Bambalwa abagqatswa abachaphazeleka ukuba batshise iityhefu zetyhefu abaye baphumelela kwimbuyekezo yokugula kwabo okunesifo sokuphefumla. Akukho mntu wase-Afghani okanye ummi waseIraq okanye osonkontileka bezomkhosi abazimeleyo. Iimfazwe zingaphela, iziseko zingavala, kodwa iinyawo zethu zomkhosi onetyhefu uhlala njengelifa elinetyhefu kwizizukulwana ezizayo.
Cinga ngoku emva kwemiphanda engama-250 yeAgent Orange herbicide kunye namakhulu eetoni zeekhemikhali eziyingozi, ezingcwatyelwe eCamp Carroll, eSouth Korea, ngokobungqina bamajoni amathathu awayefudula e-United States ngoMeyi ka-2011. Litshilo igqala uSteve House. Iingxelo zakwangoko malunga ne-US emba iigubu ezibolayo kunye nomhlaba ongcolileyo osuka kwisiseko awuchazi ukuba bakuphi. Izifundo ezisingqongileyo ezenziwa yimikhosi yase-US e-Camp Carroll ngo-1992 nango-2004 zafumanisa ukuba umhlaba namanzi aphantsi komhlaba angcoliswe kakhulu yi-dioxin, i-pesticides kunye ne-solvents. Ezi ziphumo azange zamkelwe kurhulumente wase-Korea yase-Korea de kube bubungqina bamajoni ase-US kwimithombo yeendaba kwi-2011.
ICamp Carroll imi kufutshane noMlambo iNakdong, umthombo wamanzi okusela weedolophu ezinkulu ezikhulu. Amanani omhlaza kunye nokufa kwesifo sezintso kwinkqubo yamaKorea kwindawo ejikeleze iziseko zase-US aphezulu ngaphezu komndilili wesizwe.
Ndinabahlobo abakumazwe aseAsia abanobudlelwane bezembali baseMelika ukusuka kwiMfazwe yesibini (II) yeLizwe, amazwe ahlonela iTshayina ngenxa yezizathu ezigwenxa zoqoqosho. Ngelixa uninzi lwaba bahlobo belugxeka kabukhali ubukho bemikhosi yase-US kumazwe abo, bambalwa abachaza unqabiseko lokuba neziseko zomkhosi zase-US njengokuchasene neChina. Nangona kunjalo, oku kuyandikhumbuza ukuba abantwana baxhomekeke kwizikrelemnzi ezikolweni, abanamaqhinga kunye namaqhinga ekunzima ukuqhubela phambili ukukhula kwabantwana kungasathethwa ngozinzo lwendawo e-Asiya.
Iirhafu zethu zixhasa ubuncinci iziseko zangaphandle ze-800, ngamakhulu amawaka amajoni kunye nabakhi bezomkhosi kumazwe angaphezu kwe-70. Umhlaba wonke odibeneyo uneziseko ze-30 zamanye amazwe. Kwakhona qwalasela ukuba i-United States ingumrhwebi ophambili wehlabathi wezixhobo zomkhosi, nge-$ 42 yezigidigidi kwintengiso kunye nokunyuka okulindelweyo kwe-2018. Uhlahlo-lwabiwo mali lukarhulumente wethu olucetywayo lwe2018 lonyusa inkcitho yezomkhosi (ngoku sele ingaphezu kwayo yonke inkcitho eyenziwayo kwimfundo, izindlu, izibonelelo zezothutho, indalo esingqongileyo, amandla, uphando, kunye nokunye) ngeendleko zokuncitshiswa kweenkqubo zasekhaya.
Asipheleli nje ekushiyeni kwindawo engcolisekileyo enobungozi kwihlabathi liphela kwindima yethu yehlabathi jikelele ngelixa abathengisi bethu bezixhobo bexhamla ungquzulwano kwihlabathi liphela, kodwa sikwenza oko ngokungakhathalelwa kwabemi bethu:
Yonke imipu eyenziweyo, yonke imfazwe eyasungulwa, onke amatye axhonyiweyo abonakalisa, okokugqibela, ubusela kwabo balambayo kwaye abondli, abo babandayo nabanganxibi. Eli lizwe lisemikhosini alichithi mali lodwa. Ichitha ukukhohlisa kwabasebenzi bayo, ubuchule boososayensi bayo, amathemba abantwana bayo. ~ UMongameli Eisenhower, ngo-1953
