I-Bureau of Prisons ingithintile namuhla, yanginikeza inombolo yasejele nekheli elisha: ezinsukwini ezingama-90 ezilandelayo, ukuqala kusasa, Ngizohlala e-FMC Lexington, ekamu eliyijele labesifazane, eliseduze nesikhungo sezokwelapha saseLexington sabesilisa. Kusekuseni kakhulu kusasa ekuseni, uBuddy Bell, uCassandra Dixon, noPaco no-Silver, izivakashi ezimbili zezindlu esizihlangana kuqala emibhikishweni yeJeju Island yaseNingizimu Korea, zizohamba nami zise eKentucky zithumelele ejele labesifazane ngaphandle kwe-Federal Medical Center yamadoda.
NgoDisemba, 2014, iJaji uMt Whitworth wangigweba izinyanga ezintathu ejele lombuso ngemuva kokuthi mina noGeorgia Walker sizame ukuletha isinkwa kanye nencwadi kumlawuli weWhiteman Air Force base, simcela ukuba ayeke amasosha akhe ekuhloleni okuyingozi izindiza ze-drone ngaphezulu kwe-Afghanistan kusuka ngaphakathi kwesisekelo. Ijaji Whitworth lingivumele isikhathi esingaphezu kwenyanga ukuthi nginikele ejele; kepha noma ngabe uyisosha noma ungeyena umphakathi, uyithagethi noma obukele ngeshwa, awukwazi ukunikela kudrone.
Ngenkathi ngiboshiwe ejele laseLexington ngo-1988, ngemuva kokuba imantshi yombuso eMissouri ingigwebele unyaka owodwa ejele ngokutshala ummbila ezindaweni zamasilo e-missile, ezinye iziboshwa zesifazane ngidlalile zangibiza ngokuthi “Imicibisholo.” Omunye wodadewethu ngokuthembekile ungenze ngahleka namuhla, wangithumelela imiyalezo engibuza ukuthi ngabe ngicabanga ukuthi abesifazane kulokhu bazongibiza nge- "Drones."
Kuhle ukuhleka nokuzizwa ubuhlobo ngaphambi kokuya ejele. Kumuntu onjengami, ocishe agcwale “ilungelo elimhlophe” ngalo lonke lolu hlelo lokuboshwa, ukuqulwa kwecala, kanye nokugwetshwa, u-90% (noma ngaphezulu) wesipiliyoni sami kungenzeka ancike esimweni sengqondo.
Kepha, kubantu abaningi engizohlangana nabo ejele, ukuboshwa kokuqala kungenzeka ukuthi kwaqala ngokuthile okufana “nokuhlasela ebusuku” okwenziwe e-Iraq noma e-Afghanistan, kugcwaliswe ngamaphoyisa ahlomile azungeze futhi agasele emakhaya abo ukuze abasuse ezinganeni futhi imindeni, imvamisa enezindiza ezinophephela emhlane, ibafaka ejele lesifunda, imvamisa benokubheka okuncane kakhulu ukuqinisekisa ukuthi onogada nabaqaphi babaphatha kahle. Ezinye iziboshwa ngeke zithole ithuba lokubona izingane zazo ngaphambi kokuba zithunyelwe ezweni lonke. Abanye ngeke banikezwe usizo olwanele lwezokwelashwa njengoba bejwayela impilo ejele, mhlawumbe behamba ngaphandle kwemithi ebekiwe futhi bevame ukuhlukumezeka ngokuqedwa okungazelelwe kobudlelwano nomndeni nomphakathi. Abanye ngeke babe namandla okuqasha ummeli futhi kungenzeka ukuthi abafundanga okuningi ngecala labo kumvikeli womphakathi osebenze ngokweqile.
E-US, uhlelo lwezobulungiswa lobugebengu aluhambisani nokufaka abantu ababala umbala ngamacala amancane. Abaningi bathatha izikhalazo ngaphansi kokusongelwa kwemisho eminingi, izijeziso. Uma ngabe ngingumfana omnyama omncane, kungenzeka ukuthi isimiso sokujezisa sase-US sasingeke singivumele ukuba ngizongena ekamu lasejele.
Ngizoboshwa ekamu le-satellite ngaphandle kwesikhungo sezokwelapha lapho ngilindele ukuthi amawadi agcwele iziguli ezigulisayo. Yeka ukuthi kunzima kangakanani futhi akudingekile ukuvala abantu amashumi eminyaka. Umngani wami uBrian Terrell, owaboshiwe eYankton, eNingizimu Dakota ngezinyanga eziyisithupha ngemuva kokuwela umgwaqo eWoteman, wathi kimi ngenkathi ejele wabona izibonakaliso ezindongeni eziqokelwe iziboshwa zokuqeqesha ngezidakamizwa ezisiza iziboshwa zesilisa ezincane. Ngiyaxolisa ukucabanga ngesidingo sabantu esihlala emasikweni, ngokungaqondisi abantu abaningi asebekhulile ukuba balahleke etilongweni.
Ngizokhululeka ezinyangeni ezintathu, kepha ikusasa lethu elihlangene liboshelwe ohlelweni lwezobulungiswa olunamakhanda angalungile. Ngiyathemba ukuthi lolu hlelo lobulungiswa lokuphindisela futhi olunezifo luzoshintsha ngesikhathi sokuphila kwami. Futhi ngithemba ukuthi ukuhlala kwami isikhashana ngaphakathi kwezindonga zejele laseLexington kuzongisiza ngiqonde kangcono futhi mhlawumbe kungisize ngikhanyise okuncane ngezinhlelo ezithinta abanye abantu ababoshwe lapho.
Phakathi nokuvakashelwa kwakamuva nemiphakathi ethintekayo egxile empiqweni ye-drone, abaningi baye bangisiza ukubona ukuxhuma phakathi kokubulawa kwe-drone e-Central Asia naseMpumalanga Ephakathi kanye nokubulawa okungekho emthethweni nokuboshwa kwabantu abasha abamnyama ezweni lakithi.
E-Afghanistan, lapho umsindo weziteleka zomoya nempi yombango seyishabalale kwaze kwaba sekuphakameni kwama-drones kanye nokuthula kwezithembiso ezingenalutho, abangane bethu kumaVolontiya Wokuthula e-Afghan (APVs) bayaqhubeka nemizamo yabo yokwakha ukuthula. Ngesonto eledlule, izingane ezisemgwaqweni ezingamashumi ayisishiyagalombili zahamba ngezinyawo zisuka esikhungweni se-APV zaya ehhovisi leKhomishini Yamalungelo Esintu Yase-Afghanistan ziyolwela ilungelo lazo lokufunda. Izimpawu zabo ziveze ukuzimisela kwabo ukusiza ekwakheni isikole sezingane ezihlala emgwaqweni. Olunye uphawu lwaluthi, “Asifuni isisa sakho. Sifuna isithunzi. ”
