Ababutheli bezempi kumelwe bazizwe “njengomthakathi omubi” kaHansel noGretel, bekhuluphalisa izingane ukuze ziwadle. Ngodlame locansi, izimpi ezingapheli zomsebenzi, ukufa kwabantu, ukuhlukumezeka kwengqondo, ukukhubazeka unomphela kanye nobhubhane lokuzibulala, abakuthengisayo kulezi zinsuku kubukeka sengathi kufana nombukiso omubi othusayo.
Ngethuba lokuthunyelwa ezindaweni ezimbi e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, ePakistan, eSyria, eYemen, eSomalia, njll. ngakolunye uhlangothi, amathuba okunukubezwa ngokocansi kwelinye¾kanye nomcabango wokuzibulala phakathi kodokotela bezilwane bayo yonke imivimbo¾kufanele uzibuze ukuthi baqasha kanjani ngenisa noma ubani emnyango. Abasanda kuzalwa akufanele bafunde amaphepha; zonke izinsizakalo ezine ezisebenzayo kanye nezinhlanu kweziyisithupha zezindawo ezigciniwe zahlangabezana nezinhloso zabo zokuqasha ngo-2014, ngokusho kwePentagon.
Nokho a Ucwaningo loMnyango Wezindaba Zomakadebona ekhishwe ngoFebhuwari 1, 2013 yathola omakadebona bezibulala ngenani lama-22 ngosuku. Ngemva kokuxoxisana no-Adm. Jonathan Greenert, iNhloko Yezokusebenza Zasemanzini, Izinkanyezi kanye Nemivimbo eyenziwe lokhu kuhlanganisa okumnandi Dec. 15: “Ukuzibulala akuzange kuphume ku-radar, naphezu kokugxila okwengeziwe ekulweni nokuhlukunyezwa ngokobulili.” U-Gen. Ray Odierno, umphathi webutho lezempi, utshele iWashington Post ngo-Nov. 7 odlule, “Angicabangi ukuthi sesifike esicongweni okwamanje ngokuzibulala.”
Phakathi kwamalungu e-Reserves kanye ne-National Guard, ukuzibulala kukhuphuke ngamaphesenti ayisishiyagalombili phakathi kuka-2012 no-2013. Kusukela ngo-2001, amasosha ase-US amatasa kakhulu azibulele kunalawo abulawa e-Afghanistan, kusho iWashington Post. Ngo-Ephreli odlule, i-AP yabika ukuthi ukuzibulala ku-Army National Guard and Reserve ngo-2013 "kudlule isibalo samasosha azibulalayo, ngokusho kweButho."
IStars and Stripes ithe izinga lokuzibulala phakathi kwabasemanzini namasosha laliphezulu kakhulu, kanti labo ababesemsebenzini babulawa cishe abantu abangama-23 kumalungu enkonzo ayi-100,000 ngo-2013, uma kuqhathaniswa nokuzibulala okungu-12.5 kwabangu-100,000 bebonke emphakathini wase-US ngo-2012¾njengoba kubalwe yiCenters for Ukulawula Izifo. Izinga lokuzibulala kwamatilosi nalo lenyukile kulo nyaka, i-CDC ithole.
Noma ungakaze ukubone ukulwa
An Isifundo sezempi amasosha acishe abe yisigidi ashicilelwe ngoMashi odlule abikanga nje kuphela ukuthi ukuzibulala kwamasosha athunyelwe e-Iraq noma e-Afghanistan kuphindeke kabili phakathi kuka-2004 no-2009, kodwa izinga lalabo abangakaze bachithe isikhathi ezindaweni zempi licishe laphindeka kathathu eminyakeni emihlanu efanayo. Yize abaningi bebelindele ukuthi ukuzibulala kwezempi kwehle ngemuva kokuthi ukuthunyelwa e-Iraq nase-Afghanistan kuncishisiwe, akukenzeki, kusho iWashington Post.
Ukunukubezwa ngokocansi kusakhula
Khonamanjalo, “ukugxila okwengeziwe ekulweni nokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi” kumenyezelwe njengokwehluleka kwesikhashana. Umbiko wePentagon onamakhasi angu-1,100 okhishwe ngoDisemba 4 uthole ukuthi imibiko yokuhlukunyezwa ngokocansi embuthweni wezempi inyuke cishe ngamaphesenti ayisishiyagalombili ngo-2014, futhi uSenator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), uphendule ezindabeni ethi, "Ngicabanga ukuthi lo mbiko ukhombisa ukwehluleka. ngochungechunge lwemiyalo.” USen. Gillibrand ulwele ukususa amandla emacaleni okuhlukumeza ngokocansi kuzikhulu eziphethe.
Ukuphenya okutholiwe sengathi imibiko enyukile yokushaywa ibilungile, Isik. Wezokuvikela u-Chuck Hagel ube nenkinga yokuthola amagama. Uthe, “Emuva kokunyuka okungakaze kubonwe ngonyaka odlule kwemibiko yokunukubezwa ngokocansi, izinga liqhubekile nokunyuka. Indaba ezimnandi lezo.” USen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, uthe imiphumela ibonise “inqubekelaphambili enkulu,” kodwa wavuma, “Sisenomsebenzi okufanele siwenze ukuze sinqande ukuziphindiselela kwabahlukunyezwayo.”
Ucwaningo luthole ukuthi amaphesenti angama-62 abesifazane abasindile bathi baziphindiselele, ikakhulukazi ozakwabo bezempi noma kontanga. U-Anu Bhagwati, owayengukaputeni we-Marine Corps kanye nomqondisi we-Service Women's Action Network, utshele i-New York Times, "[T] isimo sezulu ngaphakathi kwezempi siseyingozi kuzisulu zobugebengu bocansi." I-SWAN.org iyaphawula, “Isiko lokusola izisulu, ukuntuleka kokuziphendulela, kanye nesimo sezulu esinobuthi sokuyala sigcwele kuwo wonke Amasosha Ase-US, sivimbela abasindile ekubikeni izehlakalo kanye nabenzi bokubi ukuthi baqondiswe izigwegwe ngendlela efanele.”
Isibonelo esisodwa impatho elula enikezwe uBrig. UGen. Jeffrey Sinclair ngoJuni odlule ngemuva kokuvuma icala lokuhlukumeza nokuphinga. Njengasemacaleni amaningi okuhlukumeza ngokocansi, abameli bakaSinclair bachitha izinyanga beziphindiselela, behlukumeza futhi behlasela ukwethembeka kommangaleli, ukaputeni Wezempi. USinclair ugwetshwe ukuncishiswa isikhundla, izinzuzo zokuthatha umhlalaphansi ngokugcwele kanye nenhlawulo engu-$20,000, nakuba ayengase agwetshwe udilikajele kanye nokubhaliswa njengecala locansi. Ukaputeni usola ukuthi uSinclair wayesabise ngokumbulala uma edalula ngobudlelwano babo.
