IINQUBA ZINGAKHUMBULWA KWEENKQUBO ZABASEBENZI

Sifunda okuninzi malunga neenjongo zangempela zeemfazwe xa abaqhubi beemfesane bevuza imizuzu yeemfihlelo ezifihlakeleyo, okanye xa iikomiti zendibano zipapasha iirekhodi zokuvalelwa kweeminyaka kamva. Abacebisi beMfa babhala iincwadi. Benza iifilimu. Bajamelana nophando. Ekugqibeleni iimbotyi zivuthwa. Kodwa andikaze ndize ndive ngeentlanganiso zangasese apho abantu abakhulu beemfazwe baxoxwa ngemfuneko yokugcina imfazwe ukuze bazuze amajoni alwa nayo.

Isizathu sokuba oku kuphawulekayo kukuba awukuze uve umcwangcisi wemfa uthetha esidlangalaleni malunga nezizathu zokugcina imfazwe ngaphandle kokumangalelwa ukuba kufuneka yenziwe kwimikhosi, ukuxhasa imikhosi, ukuze ungavumeli ukuba amajoni ahla, okanye ukuba loo mkhosi sele ifile ingayi kufa. Ewe, ukuba babulawa ngokungekho mthethweni, ukuziphatha kakubi, isenzo esonakalisayo, okanye nje imfazwe engenamthemba emele ilahleke ngokukhawuleza okanye kamva, akucaci ukuba ukubethelwa kwezidumbu ezininzi kuya kuhlonipha iinkumbulo zabo. Kodwa oku akukona malunga neengcamango.

Ingcamango kukuba amadoda nabesifazane besengozini babo, kuthiwa kuthi ngenxa yethu, kufuneka bahlale benenkxaso yethu-nangona sibheka oko benzayo njengobunzima bokubulala. Abaxhasi bezoxolo, ngokuchasene nabacwangcisi bemfazwe, bathetha into efanayo malunga nale nto ngasese abayithethayo esidlangalaleni: sifuna ukuxhasa loo mkhosi ngokungabaniki umyalelo ongekho mthethweni, ungabaqeshanga ukuba benze ubundlobongela, bengabathumeli babo iintsapho zibeka ingozi kwimpilo yabo kunye nemizimba kunye nentlalo yengqondo.

Ingxoxo yabucala yabenzi beMfazwe malunga nokuba ingaba kwaye kutheni ukugcina imfazwe iya kuhamba nazo zonke iinjongo ezixoxwa kwisahluko sesithandathu. Bathintela kuphela ngesihloko semikhosi xa becinga ukuba bangaphi babo okanye zide zingaphathwe kangakanani izivumelwano zabo ngaphambi kokuqala ukubulala abalawuli babo. Kwindawo yoluntu, ibali elonahluke kakhulu, elinye lihlala lixelelwe ngamabutho afanelekileyo afanayo afakwe njengemva. Iimfazwe zizonke malunga nemikhosi kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kufuneka zandiswe ngenjongo yokunceda impi. Nantoni na enye inokukhubekisa kwaye idumise amajoni azinikezele kwimfazwe.

Imfazwe yethu isebenzisa ezinye iikontraki kunye namagosa njengamagosa. Xa ama-mercenari abulawe kwaye imizimba yabo iboniswa esidlangalaleni, imikhosi yase-US iya kutshabalalisa isixeko ngokuphindisela, njengase Fallujah, Iraq. Kodwa iimfazwe zeemfazwe azange zikhankanye ngeenkontrakthi okanye kumagosa. Yisoloko imikhosi, abo benza ukubulawa, kunye nabathatywayo kubemi bonke abantu abanzi, nangona imikhosi ihlawulwa, nje ngeenkosi eziphantsi.

Icandelo: KUNGANI YONKE UKUQALA KWESITHILI?

Injongo yokwenza imfazwe malunga nabantu (okanye abanye abantu) bayalwa kukuqhuba uluntu ukuba bakholelwe ukuba indlela ephela yokuchasana nemfazwe yayiza kubhaliswa njengotshaba lwabafana nabasetyhini abalwa kwilizwe lethu. Ngokuqinisekileyo, oku kungenzi ncam. Imfazwe inenjongo ethile okanye iinjongo ngaphandle kokuzihlambalaza (okanye, ngokuchanekileyo, kakubi) impi. Xa abantu bephikisana nemfazwe, abakwenzi oko ngokuthatha indawo yecala. Bachasa imfazwe yonke. Kodwa i-illogic ayizange iphuphe umenzi wemfazwe. "Kuya kuba neNellies," kutsho uLyndon Johnson ngoMeyi 17, 1966, "kunye nabanye abaya kuphazamiseka baze bahlukane kwaye bahlukane phantsi kobunzima. Kwaye abanye baya kuguqula iinkokeli zabo nakwilizwe labo nakwiimfazwe zethu. "

Zama ukulandela i-logic: Amagosa anesibindi. Amagosa yimfazwe. Ngenxa yoko imfazwe ibindi. Ngoko ke nabani na abachasene nemfazwe banesibindi kwaye banobuthakathaka, uNelly ophazamisayo. Nabani na ophikisana nemfazwe yinto embi ephikisana noMlawuli wakhe oyiNtloko, ilizwe, kunye neminye impi - impi efanelekileyo. Ungaziqondi ukuba imfazwe ibhubhisa ilizwe, liphazamise umnotho, lisongela sonke, kwaye siyidla umphefumlo wesizwe. Imfazwe lizwe, ilizwe lonke linomholi wexesha elimfazwe, kwaye ilizwe lonke limele lithobele kunokucinga. Emva koko, le yimfazwe ukusasaza intando yesininzi.

Ngo-Agasti 31, i-2010, uMongameli uBabha uthe kwintetho ye-Oval Office:

"Ngomhla wam, ndathetha kuMongameli uGeorge W. Bush. Kuyazi kakuhle ukuba yena kunye nam ndingavumelani nemfazwe [e-Iraq] ukususela ekuqaleni. Kodwa akukho mntu unokungabaza ukuxhaswa nguMongameli Bush kwimikhosi yethu, okanye uthando lwakhe lwelizwe nokuzibophelela kwokhuseleko lwethu. "

Yintoni oku kuthetha ntoni? Ungacingi ukuba u-Obama uvote ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuxhaswa imfazwe njenge-senator kwaye wagxininisa ekuqhubekekeni njengomongameli. Musa ukukhumbula ukuba, kule ntetho efanayo, wathabatha lonke uluhlu lwamanga oluye lwasungula kwaye lwalula ixesha lemfazwe, kwaze kwaba lula ukuba lisebenzise ezo nkohliso ezifanayo ukuxhasa imfazwe eqhubekayo e-Afghanistan. Makhe sicinge ukuba u-Obama "akazange avumelane nemfazwe" noBush. Kumelwe ukuba wayecinga ukuba imfazwe yayimbi kwilizwe lethu kunye nokhuseleko lwethu nemikhosi. Ukuba wayecinga ukuba imfazwe ilungele ezo zinto, kwakudingeka avumelane noBsha. Ngoko, ekugqibeleni, u-Obama uthe nangona enothando lwakhe (ungaze uhloniphe okanye ungakhathazeki; kunye nemikhosi ihlala ithanda) imikhosi kunye nokunye, uBush wenza nabo kwaye sonke siphutha ngokungenziyo. Imfazwe yayiyinto eyona nto ingalindelekanga kwinqanaba leminyaka. Kodwa akukho mcimbi omkhulu. Ezi zinto zenzeka.

Ngenxa yokuba intetho kaB Obama yayimayelana nemfazwe, wachitha i-chunk yayo, njengoko kuyadingeka, idumisa impi:

"[O] amasosha e-ur elwa nebhokisi ekuncedeni i-Iraq ukuthatha ithuba elizayo elizayo. Batshintsha amaqhinga okukhusela abantu base-Iraq, "njl.

Abantu bokwenyaniso. Kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kuba yinzuzo yabo yokuba iMfazwe e-Afghanistan kunye nezinye iimfazwe ziyakhupha kwixesha elizayo, ukuba asiyikuphelisa ubuqili bempi.

Icandelo: UKUBA ULAWULI OKANYE NOKUBA NOKWENZA IMITHETHO

Iqela lokubukela imicimbi yezobuLungisa kunye nokuchaneka kokuBika (FAIR) kuqaphele ngoMatshi, i-2003, njengoko iMfazwe yase-Iraq yaqala, ukuba iimveliso zamaphephandaba zenza into ekhethekileyo ngolwimi lwesiNgesi. I-Associated Press kunye nezinye iindawo zazisetyenziselwa ukusebenzisa "imfazwe yangaphambili" kunye "nama-pro-soldiers" ngokungafaniyo. Sasinikwe ukhetho lokuba ngu-pro-troop okanye ukulwa nemfazwe, kwaye okokugqibela kubangela ukuba nathi sibe yintshatsheli:

"Ngokomzekelo, usuku emva kokuqhubhisa ibhomu eBaghdad kwaqala, i-AP ibalwe ibali (3 / 20 / 03) phantsi kwe-Intloko ye-Anti-War, ii-Pro-Troops Rallies zithatha kwiiState njengeRage Rages. Olunye ibali (3 / 22 / 03), malunga nemisebenzi yeprogram kunye nemfazwe, ibhalwe ngeVeki yeVeki iveza ezinye iiMbonakaliso - iMfazwe ephikisanayo, Amagosa axhasayo. Ingqiqo ecacileyo kukuba abo bafuna ukuphela kokuhlasela kwe-Iraq bayaphikisana nemikhosi yase-US, njengalowo ibali Abaprotesters Rally Against War; Abanye Ukuxhasa Amagosa (3 / 24 / 03). "

Lo mkhuba wezobugcisa awubizi ngokucacileyo icala elinye le-mpikiswano "inxamnye neqela," kodwa akukho nto ibiza ngelinye icala "ukulwa nemfazwe," nangona injongo ecacileyo yokukhuthaza imfazwe. Njengokuba abo bavikela ilungelo lokukhipha isisu abafuni ukubizwa ngokuba yi-pro-avortion, abaxhasayo bemfazwe abafuni ukubizwa ngokuba yi-pro-war. Imfazwe yinto ekhuselekayo, bacinga, kunye neendlela zokufumana uxolo; Inxaxheba yethu kuyo kukuvuyisa impi. Kodwa abaxhasi bemfazwe abaxhatshali ilungelo labo lizwe lokulwa nemfazwe xa kuyimfuneko, okuya kuba ngumfanekiso ongcono kunye namalungelo okukhipha isisu. Bayavuya ngenxa yemfazwe ethile, kwaye loo nto imfazwe ihlala ibuqhetseba kunye nezobugebengu. Ezi zinto zibini zifanele zilungelelanise abaxhasi bemfazwe ekufihla emva kwelebula "abaxhomekeke kwimikhosi" kwaye bayisebenzise ukunyelisa abachasi bemfazwe, nangona bafuna ukuqala ukusebenzisa iilebula "ukuchasa uxolo" andiyi kubhikisha.

Enye yezona nkcukacha ezingathandekiyo zeengcambu zokwandisa imfazwe "ukuxhasa imikhosi" nantoni na isitshela ukuba imikhosi ekhoyo ngoku empini iyicinga ngayo. Kuthekani ukuba "siyakuxhasa imikhosi" ngokwenza oko amajoni ayefuna? Le ngcamango eyingozi kakhulu ukuqala ukujikeleza. Amagosa akufanele abe neengcamango. Bafanele ba thobele imiyalelo. Ngoko ukuxhasa oko benzayo ngokwenene kuthetha ukuxhasa oko umongameli okanye oogunyaziwe abayalele ukuba benze. Ukuthatha umdla kakhulu kwimibutho ngokwabo ngokwenene becinga ukuba yingozi kakhulu kwixesha elizayo lezindlu zamakhadi.

Umvoti wase-US, njengoko sibonile kwisahluko sesihlanu, wakwazi ukuvota imikhosi yase-US e-Iraq ngo-2006, kwaye wafumanisa ukuba ama-72 eepesenti kwabo bavotelweyo bafuna ukuba imfazwe iphele ngo-2006. Umhla wokuphela, kodwa kwiiMarines kuphela iipesenti ezingama-70 ezenzileyo. Koovimba nakuGada weSizwe, nangona kunjalo, amanani ayengama-2006 kunye nama-58 epesenti ngokwahlukeneyo. Ukusukela ukuba iimfazwe zilwelwa "ukuxhasa umkhosi" akufuneki imfazwe iphele? Kwaye bekungafuneki ukuba imikhosi, ityhilwe kwipoloni ukuba ingachazwanga kakubi, ixelelwe iinyani ezikhoyo malunga nokuba yayiyintoni imfazwe kwaye yayingeyiyo?

Akunjalongo noko. Indima yabo yayikuthobela imiyalelo, kwaye ukuba ukuxoka kwabo kwabanceda bafumane ukuthobela imiyalelo, oko kwakungcono sonke. Asizange sithi sithembele okanye sibahlonele, kuphela ukuba sasithanda. Mhlawumbi kuya kuchanekile ukuba abantu bathi bathande into yokuba imikhosi ephuma apho ikulungele ukubulala ubuwula nokufa ngenxa yomntu onobukroti okanye amandla omnye, kwaye kungekhona thina sonke. Ulunge kunam. Thanda wena! Ciao!

Into ehlekisayo ngokuthanda kwethu imikhosi yindlela encinci impi iphuma kuyo. Abafumani iimfuno zabo malunga nomgaqo-mkhosi. Abafuni ukufumana iinqwelo eziza kubakhusela kwimfazwe nje ngokuba kukho ii-CEO zokuncedisa imfazwe ezifuna imali ngakumbi. Kwaye abanasayine izivumelwano ezinxulumene nekarhulumente enemigqaliselo yamagunya anokunyanzelisa. Xa iqela lexesha lezemfazwe lenziwa, ukuba umkhosi ufuna ukuba ahlale ixesha elide, "ukuyeka ukulahlekelwa" kwaye ubathumele ngqo kwimfazwe, kungakhathaliseki ukuba yimimiselo yesivumelwano. Kwaye-oku kuza kukumangalisa kunoma ubani ojonge iingxabano zengqungquthela kwimali yezemfazwe - naliphi na abavoti bethu abavota amanye amawaka eebhiliyoni zeedola ukuze "baxhaswe ngemikhosi," loo mkhosi ayifumana imali. Ngokuqhelekileyo imali i malunga neyadola idola ngalinye. Ukuba urhulumente ngokwenene unikezele impi isabelo sabo senkxaso-mali kwaye ibenike ithuba lokunikela ngezabelo zabo kwimfazwe kunye nokuhlala ekulweni, ukuba ngaba bakhetha, ngaba ucinga ukuba imikhosi exhobileyo inokufumana ukunciphisa manani?

Icandelo: KUSETSHENZISWA KWEZIXHOBO ZONKE

Inyaniso kukuba izinto zokugqibela zemfazwe ziyakhathalela-nangona into yokuqala ayithetha ngayo - yimikhosi. Akukho mpolotiki ohlala eUnited States ongazange athethe inqaku elithi "ukuxhasa imikhosi." Abanye bachukumisa imbono ukuya kwindawo yokufuna ukubulawa kwemikhosi emininzi, kunye nokusetyenziswa kwemikhosi ekubulaweni kwabangewona amaMelika . Xa abazali kunye nabathandekayo baloo mkhosi sele befile bayayichasa imfazwe eye yabalimaza kwaye ifuna ukupheliswa kwayo, abaxhasayo bemfazwe bayamangalela ngokungahloneli imemori yabo. Ukuba abo bafile bafa ngenxa yezizathu ezilungileyo, ngoko kufuneka ukuba kubekho ukukholisa ukuthetha nje isizathu esihle. Kodwa, xa uCindy Sheehan ebuza uGeorge W. Bush ukuba yintoni ebangela ukuba unyana wakhe afe, akukho Bush okanye umntu owake wakwazi ukunika impendulo. Kunoko, konke esikuvayo kwakuyimfuneko yokufa okungakumbi kuba abanye bebenayo.

Kaninzi kuninzi sixelelwa ukuba imfazwe kufuneka iqhutywe nje kuba kukho imikhosi elwa ngoku. Oku kuzwakala kukubuhlungu ekuqaleni. Siyazi ukuba imfazwe inonakalisa abaninzi abathathi-nxaxheba bayo. Ngaba kunengqondo ukuqhubeka nemfazwe kuba kukho amajoni kwimfazwe? Ngaba akufanele kubekho esinye isizathu? Kodwa ke oko kwenzeka. Iimfazwe ziyaqhubeka xa iCongress ixhasayo. Kwaye baninzi abathi "abachasene" beemfazwe kwiCongress baxhasayo ukuba "baxhase imikhosi," ngoko banokunyusa oko bathi bachasayo. Kwi-1968, uSihlalo weKomiti yoLwabiwo lweNdlu, uGeorge Mahon (D., waseTexas) wathi ukuvota ukuxhasa iMfazwe yaseVietnam kwakungekho mqathango wokuba okanye akukho namnye owaxhasa iMfazwe yaseVietnam. Levoti, wathi,

". . . alubandakanyi uvavanyo njengemibono ebalulekileyo ngokuphathelele imfazwe yaseVietnam. Umbuzo apha kukuba balapho, kungakhathaliseki ukuba iimbono zethu ngenye indlela. "

Ngoku, "bahlala khona, kungakhathaliseki ukuba" impikiswano, ebonakala ingalokothi ikhule i-stale yinto engavumelekanga, ukuba yinto encinci, ukususela ukuba ukuba imfazwe ayizange ixhaswe ngemali, kwakufuneka ibuyiselwe ekhaya, kwaye ke Pha. Ukuze uphume kule nkcazo yenkcazo, abaxhasi bemfazwe baqulunqa iziganeko apho iCongress iyeka ukuxhaswa kweemfazwe, kodwa iimfazwe ziyaqhubeka, kuphela ngeli xesha kungekho zixhobo okanye ezinye izinto. Okanye, ngolunye uhlobo, ngokufunwa kweqela leNkcazo ephika i-Pentagon iphika i-Pentagon inkxaso yokurhoxisa imikhosi, kwaye ishiywe emva kwayo nayiphi na ilizwe elincinane eliye layikhathaza.

Akukho nto efana nalezi ziganeko ezenzeke kwihlabathi lenene. Iindleko zokuthunyelwa kwemikhosi kunye nezixhobo zasekhaya okanye kwi-postpost yangasese efuphiweyo ayinakunyanzeliswa kwi-Pentagon, ngokuqhelekileyo "iindawo ezingekho phantsi" ezininzi zemali. Kodwa, ngokuzenzekelayo ukuba ujikeleze le ngqungquthela, amalungu e-anti-war congress amalungu kuquka noBarbara Lee (D., Calif.), Ngexesha leMfazwe e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, baqala ukuzisa iindleko zokuhlawula imfazwe kunye nokubonelela ngemali emitsha ngokukhawuleza. Abaxhasayo beMfazwe nokho bawagxeka iziphakamiso ezinjalo. . . Qikelela ukuba? . . . ukungaphumeleli ukuxhasa imikhosi.

Usihlalo weKomiti yoLwabiwo lweNdlu esuka kwi-2007 nge-2010 nguDavid Obey (D., Wisc.). Xa umama wejoni ethunyelwa e-Iraq okwesithathu kwaye unqatshelwe unyango olufunekayo, wamcela ukuba ayeke imali yemfazwe kwi-2007 kunye ne-bill "eyongezelelweyo" yebhilidi, u-Congressman Obey wamemeza, wathi phakathi kwezinye izinto:

"Sizama ukusebenzisa okunye ukuphelisa imfazwe, kodwa awukwazi ukuphelisa imfazwe ngokuchasene nesongezelelo. Ixesha leenkululeko zokuziqonda ziqonda oko. Kukho umahluko omkhulu phakathi kwezimali zemikhosi kunye nokuphelisa imfazwe. Andiyi kukhanyela iinqwelwe zomzimba. Andiyi kukhanyela inkxaso yezibhedlele zezilwanyana, izibhedlele zokhuselo, ngoko unokunceda abantu abaneengxaki zonyango, yiloo nto uyenzayo xa ulwa nomthetho-mthetho. "

I-Congress yaxhaswa ngemfazwe iMfazwe yase-Iraq iminyaka ngaphandle kokubonelela ngemikhosi enezixhobo zomzimba ezifanelekileyo. Kodwa imali yeenqwelo zomzimba yayisesikhokhelo sokunyusa imfazwe. Kwaye inkxaso yokunakekelwa kwabadala, eyayinokunikezelwa kwinqanaba elithile, ihlanganiswe kulo. Ngoba? Ngokuchanekileyo ukwenzela ukuba abantu abathanda Ukuthobela banokubakho ngokukhawuleza ukuba imali yemfazwe yayiyinzuzo yempi. Ngokuqinisekileyo kusekhona ukuguqulwa ngokucacileyo kwezinto ezithethi ukuba awukwazi ukuphelisa imfazwe ngokuyeka ukuxhaswa. Kwaye ukuba imikhosi yeza ekhaya, ayifuni iinqwelo zomzimba. Kodwa i-Obey yayifake ngokupheleleyo ingqungquthela yobuqhetseba yokukhuthazwa kwemfazwe. Wayebonakala ekholelwa ukuba indlela ephela yokuphelisa imfazwe yayikugqithisa ibhilikhi yokuxhaswa kodwa ukubandakanya kwi-bill yezinto ezincinci zokulwa nemfazwe.

NgoJulayi 27, i-2010, ehlulekile enye iminyaka emithathu nesigxina ekupheliseni iimfazwe ngokuxhaswa ngemali, ukuthobela kwileta kwi-House iphantsi ibhilikhwe yokuxhasa ukunyuka kweMfazwe e-Afghanistan, ngokukodwa ukuthumela i-30,000 ibutho elininzi kunye neenkampani ezihambelanayo. esi sihogweni. Ukuthobela kwazisa ukuba isazela sakhe simxelela ukuba avotelwe Cha kwi-mthetho-mali kuba ibhilikhwe eya kunceda ukufumana abantu abafuna ukuhlasela amaMerika. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, u-Obey uthe, kwakumsebenzi wakhe njengesihlalo sekomiti (ngokucacileyo umsebenzi ophezulu ngaphezu kwesazela sakhe) ukuzisa ibhilikhi phantsi. Nangona kunokukhuthaza ukuhlaselwa kwamaMerika? Ngaba akunjalo?

Ukuthobela kwathetha ukuthetha ngokuchasene nomthetho osayilwayo ayewuzisa kumgangatho. Ukwazi ukuba uza kudlula ngokuphepha, wavotela. Omnye unokucinga, emva kweminyaka embalwa yokuvusa, uDavid Obey uya kufikelela kwindawo yokuzama ukuyeka imali ngemfazwe "echasayo," ngaphandle kokuba u-Obey wayesele evakalise icebo lakhe lokuthatha umhlalaphantsi ekupheleni kwe2010. Wagqiba umsebenzi wakhe kwiCongress kweso saziso esiphakamileyo sobuzenzisi ngenxa yeentlobano zemfazwe, ininzi yazo malunga nemikhosi, iye yabangela ukuba abameli babe "ngabachasayo" kunye "nabachasi" bemfazwe ngelixa bexhaswa ngemali.

Icandelo: UNGAKUBA UCWANGCISA NONKE IXESHA UNXINGAYO, KANYE UNGAKHO UKUBA UKUFUNA

Unokucinga ngokusuka kwimigudu yeCongress iya ekugwemeni nasekugqithiseni ngokungenangqondo kwiingxoxo malunga nokuba ngaba uqala ukulwa iimfazwe ukuba izigqibo ezinjalo zibaluleke kakhulu, ukuba imfazwe inokupheliswa lula nanini na ukuba iqalile. Kodwa ingqiqo yeemfazwe eziqhubekayo ngokude nje ukuba kukho amasoldati abandakanyekayo kuwo kuthetha ukuba iimfazwe azikwazi ukuphela, ubuncinci kude kube yilapho uMlawuli oyiNtloko ebona kufanelekile. Oku akuyona into emitsha yerhwebo, kwaye ubuya imfazwe emininzi ikhona, ubuncinane ukufikelela kweyokuqala kwe-Philippines yasePhilippines. Abahleli beeHarpers Weekly bachasene nokuhlasela.

Noko ke, bekhenkcela umongameli, baphetha ngelithi xa ilizwe liye lilwa, wonke umntu kufuneka adibanise kunye ukuze axhaswe. "

Le ngcamango eyinqabileyo ingenele eUnited States icinga kakhulu, enyanisweni, ukuba abavakalisi abakhululekayo baye bacinga ukuba babone oko kubhalwe kuMgaqo-siseko wase-US. Nangu uRalph Stavins, uthetha ngeMfazwe yaseVietnam:

"Ngaphandle kokuba igazi leSiriya laseMelika lichithwe, uMongameli wayeza kuthatha indima yoMlawuli oyiNtloko kwaye uya kunyanzeliswa ukuba aphumeze umgaqo-siseko wakhe wokukhusela umkhosi kwintsimi. Olu xanduva lwakwenza ukuba akunakwenzeka ukuba amajoni aya kususwa kwaye kunokwenzeka ukuba imikhosi eyongezelelweyo iya kuthunyelwa. "

Ingxaki ngale ndlela ayikho nje indlela ecacileyo yokukhusela imikhosi kubazisa ekhaya, kodwa nokuba umgaqo-siseko womongameli wokukhusela imikhosi endle ayikho kuMgaqo-siseko.

"Ukuxhasa imikhosi" ngokuqhelekileyo kwandiswa kwintsingiselo yokuba sifuna ukugcina imikhosi kwimfazwe ixesha elide kunentsingiselo yokuba nathi kufuneka sikwazi ukuthetha nabo ngokuxabisa imfazwe, nokuba sichasene nayo. Oku kunokuthetha nantoni na ekungatshutshiselani ububini, ukuzenza ulwaphulo olugqithiseleyo, luzenza sengathi imfazwe iphumelele okanye idibene nezinye iinjongo zayo okanye ukuba iinjongo ezahlukeneyo zidibanisa kalula, okanye ithumela iileta kunye nezipho kumabutho kwaye zibulela " inkonzo. "

"Xa imfazwe iqala, ukuba imfazwe iyaqala," utshilo uJohn Kerry (D., Mass.) Ngaphambi nje kokuhlasela kwe-Iraq ngo-2003, "ndiyayixhasa imikhosi kwaye ndixhasa i-United States of America iphumelele ngokukhawuleza okukhulu. Xa imikhosi isentsimini kwaye isilwa - ukuba isemabaleni kwaye iyalwa - ikhumbula ukuba kunjani ukuba yiyo loo mikhosi - ndicinga ukuba ifuna iMelika emanyeneyo ekulungeleyo ukuphumelela. ” U-Kerry owayelilungu lomongameli u-Howard Dean ubize umgaqo-nkqubo ka-Bush wezangaphandle "ngokumasikizi" kwaye "uyothusa" kwaye ngokuvakalayo, ukuba ayiphikisani, wayechasene nokuhlasela i-Iraq, kodwa wagxininisa ukuba ukuba u-Bush uqalise imfazwe, "Ewe ndizakuyixhasa imikhosi." Ndiqinisekile ukuba imikhosi ingathanda ukukholelwa ukuba wonke umntu osemakhaya uyayixhasa into abayenzayo, kodwa ngaba abanazo ezinye izinto abanokuzikhathaza ngazo ngexesha lemfazwe? Kwaye ngaba abanye babo bebengathanda ukwazi ukuba abanye bethu bajonge ukuba bathunyelwe ukuba babeke ubomi babo emngciphekweni ngenxa yezizathu ezifanelekileyo okanye hayi? Ngaba ngekhe bazive bekhuselekile ngakumbi kwimishini yabo, besazi ukuba itshekhi yokujika ngokungakhathali ibenze ifanan ye-cannon iphilile kwaye isebenza?

Ngo-Agasti 2010, ndaqulunqa uluhlu malunga ne-100 congressional challengers, kwiqela ngalinye lezopolitiko, abafungelayo ukuba abayi kuvota i-dime yeemfazwe e-Iraq okanye e-Afghanistan. Omnye ummeli ozimeleyo we-Green Party eVirginia wenqaba ukutyikityha, ebonisa ukuba ukuba wenza, umphikisi wakhe weRiphabhuliki uza kummangalela ngokungayithandi imikhosi. Ndamtshela ukuba uninzi lwabavoti kwisithili sakhe lufuna ukuba imfazwe iphele kwaye ukuba angabagwebela abaxhasi bezemfazwe ukuxhomekeka kwemikhosi kwimimiselo engekho mthethweni kunye nokubeka ubomi babo engozini ngenxa yesizathu esilungileyo. Nangona lo mviwa engasayinanga, ukhetha ukumela umchasi wakhe kunabantu bezithili zakhe, wabonakalise ukumangalisa nokuvuma oko ndamxelela kuye, okubonakala ukuba yintsha kuye.

Oku kufana. Atypical amalungu amalungu e-Alan Grayson (D., Fla.). Ku-2010 mhlawumbi wayengumdlali ochasayo kakhulu weMfazwe yase-Afghanistan, ecela uluntu ukuba licele abo basebenza nabo ukuba bavote ngokumalunga nenkxaso-mali. Oku kwakhokelela ekuhlaselweni kwangaphambili kwabalandeli bakhe ekukhethweni oluzayo - kunye neenkcitho ezininzi zenkampani ngokumelene naye kunanoma yimuphi omunye umviwa. Ngo-Agasti 17, i-2010, iGrayson ithumele le imeyile:

"Ndibekwazisa kubachasi bam. NgoLwesihlanu, nguDan Fanelli, uhlanga. Izolo, kwakunguBruce O'Donoghue, ukukhohlisa irhafu. Kwaye namhlanje, nguKurt Kelly, ukufudumala.

"KwiNgqungquthela, ndingomnye wabachasayo kakhulu kwiimfazwe e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan. Ngaphambi kokuba ndikhethwe, ndandichitha iminyaka ndizama ukutshutshisa abaxhamli bemfazwe. Ngoko ndiyazi into endiyithethayo.

"Ngokungafani nenkukhu yaseKurt Kelly. Kwi-News Fox (yintoni enye?) UKelly wathi ngale nto: 'Wafaka amajoni ethu, kunye namadoda kunye namabhinqa ethu emkhosini ngendlela eyingozi, mhlawumbi ufuna ukuba afe.'

"Ewe, uKurt. Ndifuna ukuba bafe: bebudala, ekhaya belele, bajikelezwe ngabathandekayo babo, emva kokunandipha ii-turkeys ezininzi zokubonga phakathi kwexesha langoku. Kwaye ufuna ukuba bafe: kwintlango ekhangelekayo, i-8000 yamamayela ukusuka ekhaya, yodwa, ekhwaza uncedo, ngomlenze uvaliwe kunye nezigulane zabo zixhomeke emathunzini abo, ziphuma egazini. "

UGrayson unendawo. Abo bangaphumeleli "ukuxhasa imikhosi" abanako ukutshutshiswa ngokubeka amajoni emngciphekweni, kuba "ukuxhasa imikhosi" kubandakanya ngokuchanekileyo ukushiya imikhosi emngciphekweni. Kodwa abafudumala bathanda ukukholelwa ukuba ukuchasana nemfazwe kufana nokulingana notshaba.

Khawucinge ngeso sikhundla sokuba ukholelwa kuThixo ngaphandle kwengxoxo malunga nokuba uThixo ungumntu onguThixo ongcwele okanye omnye. Ukuba umntu ongakholelwa kuThixo ophikisana nobuncwane obuthathu, ukhawuleza ukutyholwa ngokusekela umntu oyedwa, nangona kunjalo, ngabo bangakwazi ukuguqula iingqondo zabo malunga nokunyaniseka kokungafuni ukuthatha icala elinye. Kwalabo abachasene nokuphikisana kwemfazwe ayinakuqondakala, ukungaphumeleli kokubuyisa obomvu, omhlophe, kunye nohlaza okwesibhakabhaka kufuneka kulingane nokuthokoza kwezinye iiflegi. Kwaye abo bathengisa imfazwe kula bantu, ukukhwela iiflegi yaseMelika kunele ukuzithengisa kwesi sigqibo.

Kwi-1990, uChris Wallace we-ABC News wabuza umntu owayengumlawuli weMfazwe eVietnam Westmoreland umbuzo olandelayo:

"Yinto ephantse ibe yintlone ngoku ngoku ukuba awuzange ulahlekelwe yiMfazwe yaseVietnam kakhulu kwiindawo ezinjengeenqanawa e-United States. Ngaba umongameli kunye nePentagon kufuneka babe malunga njani nale ntshukumo yokuthula? "

Ngolu hlobo lombuzo, ngubani ofuna iimpendulo? Imfazwe isithengisiwe ngaphambi kokuba uvule umlomo wakho.

Xa uCongressmen uJim McDermott (D., Wa.) NoDavid Bonior (D., Mich.) Bebuza ngemfazwe yase-Iraq ngo-2002, umbhali wemihlathi kwiWashington Post uGeorge Will wabhala wathi "uSaddam Hussein ufumana abasebenzisana nabaseMelika phakathi kweedemokhrasi." Le mibhobho yemfazwe yayilingana nokugxeka imfazwe kunye nokulwa imfazwe - kwicala lotshaba! Ke ukuphelisa imfazwe kuba thina bantu sichasene nayo yinto efanayo nokuphulukana nemfazwe notshaba. Iimfazwe azinakulahleka okanye ziphele. Kuya kufuneka ziqhubeke ngokungenammiselo ukuze zilungele amajoni.

Kwaye xa abantu abenza imfazwe befuna ukunyusa imfazwe, bayifaka loo ngcamango njengendlela yokuphelisa imfazwe, njengoko sibona kwisahluko esithoba. Kodwa xa kufika ixesha lokufuna imali kunye nokunyanzelisa iCongressman Obey ukuba yinqabe isazela sakhe, ngoko ukunyuka kwezinto kukuguqulwa nje ngokuqhubeka nje. Kulula ukuxhaswa yimfazwe egameni lemikhosi ngaphandle kwendlela eyingozi xa kungekho mntu uyazi ukuba yintoni imali oyiyo-mali yokuthumela enye ibutho le-30,000 ukujoyina abo asele batyunjwe, apho iimeko ezingenakukucinga nciphisa nayiphi na impi ngaphandle kweebhola; bekuya kuthetha ukuba akayi kuthumela amanye amabutho ukuba ajoyine.

Ekupheleni kwe-2009 kunye nokuqala kwe-2010, sasiba nengxoxo eninzi yentando yesininzi malunga nokunyuka kwemfazwe e-Afghanistan, impikiswano kwimicimbi yenkampani phakathi koMlawuli oyiNtloko kunye nabaphathi bakhe. I-Congress kunye noluntu bekuninzi kakhulu. Ngomongameli we-2009 u-Obama wayesele eqalise ukunyuka okufanayo kungekho ncoko kukho konke. Kule ngqungquthela yesibini, uMongameli xa athe wangena kwii-generals, omnye kubo oza kutshaya emva komsebenzi omncinci wokungabikho komthetho, amaphephandaba agqiba ibali, akaqhubeki uphando, kwaye waqwalasela ukunyuka kwenzeni. Enyanisweni, uMongameli waya phambili kwaye waqala ukuthumela imikhosi. Kwaye amalungu enkomfa ayefungile aphikisana nokukhula kwawo aqala ukuthetha ngesidingo sokuxhasa "imikhosi yasendle." Ngexesha leenyanga ezintandathu zaphelile, kwakunokwenzeka ukwenza ivoti ngenkxaso-mali ibali elikhulu ngaphandle kokukhankanya ukuba kwakungenxa yokunyuka kwayo yonke.

Njengoko ukunyuka kwamanani kungachazwa njengenkxaso yokuqhubela phambili, ukuqhubeka kweemfazwe kunokuguqulwa njengezihoxiso. Ngomhla we-Meyi 1, i-2003, no-Agasti 31, i-2010, abaongameli bakaBush no-Obama bavakalisa iMfazwe yase-Iraq, okanye "impi yokulwa," phezu kwayo. Kwimeko nganye, imfazwe yaqhubeka. Kodwa imfazwe yaba yinto ecacileyo malunga nemikhosi njengoko ichithelwa nayiphi na into eyenza ukuba ibe nenjongo ngaphandle kokunyusa ubukho bayo.

Njengoko sibonile kwisahluko sesihlanu, kungakhathaliseki ukuba zikarhulumente zikhulu zithetha njani ngemikhosi njengento yazo yokuthatha isenzo, ziyahluleka ukuthatha inyathelo lokunyamekela amaqhawe asele asetshenzisiwe. Amaqhawe emfazwe ashiywa ngaphandle kokuxhaswa. Bamele baphathwe ngenhlonipho kwaye baxelelwe ngentlonelo ukuba asivumelani nento abayenzayo, kwaye kufuneka banikwe unyango lwezempilo kunye nemfundo. Kuze sikwazi ukwenza njalo kuwo onke amaqhawe aphilileyo, yiyiphi ibhizinisi esiye sakha ngaphezulu kwazo? Injongo yethu, enyanisweni, kufuneka ukuba kubekho ukuLawula kweeNqwelombuso ukuyeka ukusebenza ngokuyeka ukuvelisa iimfuyo.

Kuze kube lelo xesha, amadoda kunye nabasetyhini kufuneka baxelelwe ukuba imfazwe ayikho ihambo ehamba phambili yokuhamba. Iirebhoni eziphuzi kunye neentetho aziyi kuhlawula iibhili okanye ukwenza ubomi bakho buzalisekise. Njengoko sibonile kwisahluko sesihlanu, imfazwe ayiyona indlela efanelekileyo yokuba nesigorha. Kutheni ungakhondi njengelungu leqela lokuhlangula, umntu onomlilo, umququzeleli wezabasebenzi, umgqugquzeli ongenalutho? Kukho iindlela ezininzi zokuba nobuqhawe kwaye uthathe ingozi ngaphandle kokubulala iintsapho. Cinga ngabasebenzi baseoli baseIraq abavimbe ubuncwane kwaye baqulunqa imibutho yabasebenzi ekujonganeni nokuhlaselwa kwe-US kwi-2003. Yibanike ukucima iikhati zabo kwaye bathi, "Hambani niye nidulele." Babenomngcipheko wokuzimela kwabo kwesizwe. Ngaba asiyena

Ndiyaqonda umnqweno wokuxhasa abo benza imihlatshelo kuthiwa kuthi, kwaye abo basele benze "umbingelelo wokugqithisa," kodwa ezinye iindlela zethu aziyikuvuyela imfazwe eyongezelelekileyo okanye ukujoyina intshaba, ukudala amaqhawe amaninzi okanye ukuphatha kakubi abo esinakho. Kukho ezinye iindlela. Ukuba asicingi ukuba kunjalo nje kuphela ngenxa yeethelevishini zethu ezingenangqondo kunye nexesha elide liqala ukuvumba ukuqonda. UBhilidi we-Comedian uBill Maher wabonisa ukukhathazeka kwakhe ngale ndlela:

"Ngexesha elide kakhulu, lonke ukhetho lweRiphabhliki lusekelwe kwintetho ethile yenkwenkwezi: iflegi, okanye ipaki yeflegi, okanye iSithembiso, okanye, 'Kusasa eMelika.' UBill Clinton wafumana i-blowjob kwi-Ofisi yeOval. Kwaye u-Dixie Chicks wamthuka uMongameli Bush emhlabathini wangaphandle. Kwaye xa kwenzeka oko, kuphazamise imvakalelo yemikhosi yethu. Kwaye ukukhanya kukaTinkerbell kuphuma kwaye uyafa. Ewe, ewe, uthando lwemikhosi yethu, ekugqibeleni ekuthandweni kobuxoki. Ingaba uyadlala? Imikhosi, sibahlawulela njenge-shit, siyabhaqa kwaye siwakhohlise ekuthunjweni, sino-nickel kwaye siyidlala kwiinkathalo zonyango xa befika ekhaya, bengabhekiseli kwiimfazwe ezingenangqondo esizithumela kuzo. Ewe, siyayithanda impi ngendlela uMichael Vick ayithanda ngayo izinja. Uyazi ukuba ndiyakuziva ndixhaswa njani ukuba ndiyindoda ngaphesheya kwelanga? Ukuba abantu babuya ekhaya bekhalazela ukuba ndiphume kule mizila engenanto. Yiloo ndlela endingayivakalelwa ngayo inkxaso. Kodwa, uyazi, musa ukuphefumula kwakho kuloo flaslas kuba, uyazi, xa iMelika ihlasela ilizwe, sikuthanda ixesha elide. Ngokubalulekileyo, asizange sishiye, sishiya njengezihlobo zase-Ireland: akunjalo. "

Ukuba sonke sasizihlambulula, njengoMaher, kunye ne-"support-the-soldiers" propaganda, asiyi kuthi sithi "Ncedisa amaxhoba, Misela ekhaya." Singaqhekeza isiqingatha salo size sigijime phambili " ekhaya baze bashushise abaphulaphuli ababathumele. "Kufuneka ukuba singabi sithi sifuna ukuba impi iphile kakuhle. Esinye sezizathu eziphambili asifuni ukuba zibulale kwaye zife!

Kodwa asiyi kuvunyelwa oko bakwenzayo. Ukudumisa kwethu kugcinwe kumajoni anqaba imiyalelo engekho mthethweni kunye nokungaxhasi. Kwaye siyavuma umsebenzi owenziwe ngesibindi nangokuzinikezela okukhulu ngabantu baseMelika ngamakhulu emisebenzi ngaphandle kwemfazwe. Sifanele sithi sithi siyabanceda kanye ngexesha. Sonke sikwazi ukwenza oko, kwaye ngethamsanqa asinakuphikisana ngokufuna bonke abo bantu bafile, indlela esenza ngayo xa umntu ehluleka ukuthi "Ndiyayixhasa imikhosi."
