NguWill Bunch, I-Smirking Chimp, Januwari 25, 2021

Umakadebona we-Air Force u-Ashli ​​Babbitt wasinda ezinkampanini e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan, lapho asiza khona ekuqapheni izizinda zamasosha ngesikhathi kuphakama izimpi zaseMelika kulezo zifunda maphakathi no-2000. Esikhundleni salokho, ulahlekelwe yimpilo yakhe elwa nohulumeni wakhe emaphaseji ase-US Capitol ngoJan. 6 - wadutshulwa iphoyisa laseCapitol ngaphambili kwesixuku esazama ukushaya sibheke ekamelweni leNdlu eliseduze nokuvimba ukubalwa kokhetho luka-2020 Amavoti asekolishi angenza umongameli kaJoe Biden. Imizuzwana ngaphambi kwesibhamu esibulalayo, ividiyo ethathiwe abantu bakubo beshaya iwindi bememeza, "Asifuni ukulimaza muntu, sifuna ukungena ngaphakathi."

Ukufa kukaBabbitt kwafika ekugcineni kwani kuchazwe abangani bakhe nomndeni wakhe Ukwehla emgodini wonogwaja wokushisekela kwamaphiko okudla kanye nemibono yozungu eyaqala kungekudala ngemuva kokuphela kweminyaka engu-14 yokusebenza kwezempi, ngenkathi elwela ukuyenza umnikazi wamabhizinisi amancane wenkonzo yokuhlanza amachibi, okuyisibonakaliso esamemezela njenge "indawo engenamaskhi" ngesikhathi se-coronavirus. Ngosuku lokugcina eligcwele lokuphila kwakhe, uBabbitt wabhala kuTwitter ngolimi lwe-apocalyptic lwe umbono wozungu weQAnon okholelwa ukuthi i-cabal eshushumbisa abantu ngokocansi “ye-Deep State” yonakalise iMelika, yathi: “Akukho lutho oluzosivimba. Bangazama bazame kodwa isivunguvungu sesifikile futhi sehlela kuDC esikhathini esingaphansi kwamahora angama-24… kumnyama ekukhanyeni! ”

"Udadewethu ubeneminyaka engama-35 futhi wakhonza iminyaka engu-14 - kimina lokho iningi lempilo yakho yobuntu obukhulile," umfowabo kaBabbitt utshele iNew York Times. “Uma uzizwa sengathi unikele ngempilo yakho yonke ezweni lakho kanti awulalelwa, lelo yiphilisi elinzima ukugwinya. Yingakho ebephatheke kabi. ”

UBabbitt wayengeyena kuphela udokotela wezilwane waseMelika odumazekile owadonsela ekuvukeleni eCapitol. Ujoyinwe ukuthandwa nguLarry Randall Brock Jr., owayengumphathi wendiza e-Afghanistan futhi manje wabanjwa kuvidiyo phansi kweSenate yase-US esigqokweni sokulwa nobuchule obuphelele igiya, ethwele ozankosi bozipho. NjengoBabbitt, abangani bathi babukele uBrock eba namandla ngokwedlulele ekusekeleni kwakhe uDonald Trump nenhlangano yakhe yezepolitiki. Amalungu omndeni utshele uRonan Farrow waseNew Yorker nokuthi uMbutho Wezomoya uhlale uphakathi nobunikazi bukaBrock, futhi, njengoba omunye esho, “Wayejwayele ukungitshela ukuthi ngibona umhlaba kuphela ngezithunzi ezimpunga, nokuthi umhlaba umnyama futhi umhlophe.”

Iqembu elilodwa elinamandla elinamalungu amakhulu elalikhona ngesikhathi kuhlasela iCapitol kwakungu-Oath Keepers, iqembu elalibhekise kumalungu amanje nawangaphambili omthetho wamasosha nowasekhaya owasungulwa yilowo owayengumbutho wezempi u-Stewart Rhodes ngase isikhathi sokuthi uBarack Obama akhethwe njengomongameli wokuqala waseMelika oMnyama. Ngaphambi kwalolu dlame, uRhodes utshele abeLos Angeles Times laba "babengabashisekeli bokushisekela izwe labo abangeke bakwamukele ukwebiwa kohlobo lwabo lukahulumeni." Kweyodwa yamavidiyo ashaqisa kakhulu avela eCapitol, ulayini wabagcini be-Oath Keepers abagqoke isigamu bembethe imashi yamagiya yokulwa bebheke esihlalweni sikahulumeni wase-US nangesixuku esineziyaluyalu ngokunemba, kwezempi.

Njengoba uMnyango Wezobulungiswa nabanye abaphenyi beqhubeka nokuhlunga ukuthi kwenzekeni ngempela ngalolo Lwesithathu olunegazi eCapitol Hill, kuyacaca ngokusobala ukuthi omakadebona bezempi babebandakanyeka ngokungalingani. Kwaze kwakude, cishe ama-20% alabo baboshiwe futhi babekwa icala mayelana nalesi siphithiphithi abesebenze embuthweni wamasosha aseMelika, iqembu eliqukethe kuphela u-7% wabantu bonke. Kwabanye ochwepheshe, lokhu kuboshwa kugqamisa isimo esiphazamisayo empilweni yaseMelika esikhona selokhu kwaphela impi ebabayo yaseVietnam - uhloboi-blowback”Lapho amabutho ayeqeqeshelwe ukulwa nokubulala ngenjongo eyodwa yombuso wentando yeningi phesheya kwezilwandle evulela owawo uhulumeni ngokudumazeka lapho esebuyele ekhaya.

"Sibona isigaxa somsebenzi ngemuva kwayo yonke impi enkulu," kusho uKathleen Belew, isazi-mlando sase-University of Wisconsin, utshele iNew Yorker ngemuva kukaJan 6. Ku-2018, incwadi kaBelew Letha Impi Yasekhaya udwebe umugqa onamandla phakathi kokungajabuli kokubuyisa odokotela bezilwane baseVietnam nokwenyuka kokuhamba kwamandla amhlophe phakathi nawo-1980. Uthe wabona into efanayo esebenza eCapitol Hill, lapho uBabbitt owayesezobulawa echaza abanye ababedlubulunda naye "njengamabhuthi phansi." U-Belew uthe: "Angicabangi ukuthi kumele sibheke kude ukubona lokhu njengendikimba yempi."

Kubalulekile ukuqaphela lapha ukuthi sikhuluma ngengxenyana yamalungu enkonzo ayizigidi ezingama-2.7 abamba iqhaza e-Iraq noma e-Afghanistan - iqembu elibandakanya izinqwaba zamakadebona enza izinto ezinhle emiphakathini yawo, noma esebenza kwezinye izimo ukunciphisa isimo sezempi sase-US esinolaka babamba iqhaza. Ngempela, iphoyisa laseCapitol elibulewe lizama ukuvimba isixuku, uBrian Sicknick, waphinde wasebenza ebusosheni phesheya.

Futhi iMelika, njengomphakathi, ngokungagunci inikeza amabutho ayekade engamasosha ayo namatilosi izizathu eziningi kakhulu zokuzizwa bengamukeleki noma benqanyulwa ngenye indlela lapho befika ekhaya. Okunye kwalokhu kugxiliwe ekungabikho kokwesekwa, kufaka phakathi ukusebenza okungekuhle ngokomlando kweVeterans Administration eye yagcwala ngaphansi bobabili iDemocratic futhi Republican ukuphathwa. Kepha futhi ngiqonde kabanzi ngokubanzi ukuthi ukwamukela kwezempi izwe lethu njengobuso bethu emhlabeni - kufaka phakathi i-post-9/11 engapheli "impi yaphakade" - kudala ukucindezeleka kwangemva kwengozi amanye amanxeba engqondo phakathi kwabaningi kakhulu abalwa nayo. Ngisho nama-veteran angaboni ukulwa kwangaphambilini abhekana nokulungiswa okunzima kusuka ekuhlanganyeleni kwamayunithi abo kuya e-America ekhula ngokwengeziwe ye-atomized, ehlukile futhi enobudlova elinde ekhaya. Kwabambalwa, imibono yetulo noma ukweqisa ingahlinzeka ngohlobo olusha lobumbano lomphakathi, yize luyingozi.

Kukhona indlela elula yokunqanda ukuqina kanye nokudumazeka okubangelwa ukuthumela izinsizwa nezintombi eziningi ukulwa "impi engunaphakade" lokho kuyaqhubeka ngemuva kweminyaka ecishe ibe ngu-20, njengoba izizathu zethu zokuthumela amasosha ezimweni eziyingozi e-Afghanistan noma e-Iraq ziya ngokuya zicaca, ikakhulukazi kulabo "abaphansi emhlabathini" Umongameli wethu omusha, uJoe Biden, angakhombisa ukungathí sina ekugcineni lezi zimpi futhi adale inqubomgomo yezangaphandle yaseMelika engadingi ukuphoqelelwa ngeziteleka eziqhubekayo ze-drone kanye neqhingi lezikhungo zamasosha.

Njengoba ngibhala lokhu, umongameli wama-46 uthokozela i-honeymoon yesonto lakhe lokuqala esesikhundleni futhi ujabulisa iningi labantu baseMelika abayizigidi ezingama-82 abamvotele ngokuxhamazela kwezenzo eziphezulu ezibhekise cishe zonke izinkinga zezwe lethu, kusukela Covid-19 kuya ukushintsha kwesimo sezulu ukubandlululwa kwe Umphakathi we-LGBTQ. Inja enkulu engakhonkothi lapha ezinsukwini zokuqala zokuphathwa kweBiden ukulutha kwethu kwezwe lonke kwezempi. Isimiso sakhe esimatasa semiyalo yokuphatha ngandlela-thile sikushaye indiva ukunqanda iziteleka ze-drone ezikhuphuke kakhulu ngaphansi kukaTrump, noma ukusekelwa kwe-US kwempi yaseSaudi Arabia eyayingaziphethe kahle e-Yemen, noma ukunikeza noma yisiphi isibonakaliso sokuthi uBiden uhlela ukususa izimpi ezigunyaziwe emuva e-2001, noma ukuhlehlisa Ukusetshenziswa kwemali okuyihlazo kweMelika kwezempi - ngaphezu kwezizwe eziyi-10 ezilandelayo kuhlangene.

Ngempela, izinkomba zithi amandla kazibuthe empi yaseMelika azoqhubeka ngaphansi kweBiden, njengoba enza ngaphansi kwawo wonke umongameli wanamuhla wase-US - Republican or Democrat, olandelanayo noma ovulekile. Ngemuva kwakho konke, amaRephabliki namaDemocrats eCongress abangakhulumisani omunye nomunye ezinye izinsuku ezingama-364 zonyaka bakwazile ukubambana ngezandla bacule "uKumbaya" bedlulisa isabelomali esikhulu sama- $ 740 billion, ngisho nangaphezu kwe-veto kaTrump. Ngenkathi iqembu elingenayo leBiden likhombisile ukushintsha kwenqubomgomo e-Yemen kuyeza maduze, ikusasa lokuba khona kwamasosha aseMelika eMiddle East nase-Afghanistan likhulu kakhulu emoyeni.

Izinga eliphakeme likaBiden emsebenzini wezepolitiki weminyaka engama-50 kube yikhono lakhe lokuzivumelanisa nezikhathi ezishintshayo. Kusesekuseni ngokwanele ukuba ngumongameli wakhe ukuba nethemba lokuthi iqembu lakhe lizokwenza njalo yenza ukuxhumana phakathi kokuchithwa kwemali yethu kwePentagon ne-ajenda yakhe yasekhaya yokuvelela engabhekana ne-coronavirus, ukuguquka kwesimo sezulu kanye nokungalingani kwezomnotho ngasikhathi sinye - kepha kukhona okunye okusengcupheni.

Nakulokhu futhi, uJan 6 “waletha impi ekhaya” eMelika. Sithatha isinyathelo lapho sishaqekile lapho isizwe esivame kakhulu ukwenza izinqubomgomo zangaphandle emgqonyeni wethangi sithola ukuthi lapha ekhaya asigcinanga ngokuhlonyiswa ngamazinyo kuphela kepha lokho kubonakala kungasakwazi ukuxazulula okufanele kube yizimpikiswano zepolitiki ngaphandle kwenkulumo ye-apocalyptic a “impi yezikhali. ” Uma kukhulunywa ngokudonsela phansi amandla okonakala empi empi yaseMelika, impunzi iqala eResolute Desk kamongameli. UMongameli Biden unamandla kanye nethuba lokuletha impi yezempi ende kunazo zonke emlandweni waseMelika kuze kube sekupheleni kwawo okungenakugwemeka - futhi wakhe umphakathi lapho kungasekho mpi yokungenisa.
