IKomidi Lezisebenzi Ezihlomile Lendlu (HASC) kokuzwa ngoMeyi 19 wezwa kofakazi ohlangothini olulodwa kuphela mpikiswano phezu ukuthi kuqedwe ukubhaliswa okusalungiswa noma ukwelulele kwabesifazane abasebasha kanye nezinsizwa. Kepha ngaphandle kwephaneli yofakazi ohlangothini olulodwa, imibuzo kanye nokuphawula kwamalungu eCongress kugcizelele lokhu ukwehluleka wemizamo eqhubekayo yokwenza amadoda bhalisela uhlaka lwezempi lwesikhathi esizayo, kanye nokuntuleka kwanoma iyiphi indlela engenzeka ukuphoqelela uhlaka lwezempi lwakusasa lwamadoda noma abesifazane.

USihlalo Wekomidi Lezisebenzi Ezihlomile, uRep. Adam Smith (D-WA), uvule ukulalela ngokuphawula a isitatimende esibhaliwe esithunyelwe ngu-Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR). U-Rep. DeFazio ukhona omunye wabasekeli bokuqala we-bipartisan Umthetho Wokuchithwa Kwesevisi Ka-2021 (HR 2509 kanye ne-S. 1139), okusalindwe kumaKomidi Wezinsizakalo Zezempi kuyo yomibili iNdlu kanye neSigele.

Ngokusho kukaRep. DeFazio, “UMongameli Carter wabuyisela ukubhaliswa okusalungiswa ngo-1980 ikakhulukazi ngenxa yezizathu zezombusazwe. Ukubhaliswa okusalungiswa kwezempi bekulokhu kukhona kusukela ngaleso sikhathi, okudinga ukuthi wonke amadoda aneminyaka engu-18-26 abhalise ku-Selective Service System (SSS). Kufanele isulwe ngokuphelele…. I-SSS iwuhlaka olungadingekile, olungafuneki, oludala, olumoshayo, futhi olujezisayo oluphula inkululeko yabantu baseMelika… Sekudlule isikhathi ukuthi iCongress ichithe i-SSS unomphela.”

I-Rep. DeFazio's isitatimende serekhodi yayihlanganisa ikhophi yombiko wokubhaliswa okusalungiswa owalungiswa ekuqaleni kuka-1980 nguDkt. Bernard Rostker, ngaleso sikhathi owayenguMqondisi we-SSS. Umbiko waphetha ngokuthi ukubhaliswa okusalungiswa, okuye kwamiswa ngo-1975, "kuzoba yisidina futhi kungenasidingo." Kodwa njengoba uDkt. Rostker ebalile kweyakhe memoir, UMongameli uCarter wanquma - ngenxa yezizathu zezombangazwe kuphela esikhundleni sezempi - ukunganaki (futhi azame ukucindezela) umbiko, futhi esikhundleni salokho aphakamise ukuvuselela ukubhaliswa okusalungiswa. UDkt. Rostker watshelwa ngaleso sinqumo amahora ambalwa ngaphambi kokuba simenyezelwe kuMongameli. Carter's 1980 State of the Union Address.

NjengoMqondisi we-SSS, uDkt. Rostker wazama ngokuzimisela nangenkuthalo ukusebenzisa uhlelo lokubhalisa Pres. UCarter uhlongoze futhi iCongress yagunyaza (futhi esaqhubeka namuhla). Kodwa kwabonakala kungasebenzi njengoba ayebikezele. Ngo-2019, uDkt. Rostker waphuma empeshenini ezofakaza phambi kweKhomishana Kazwelonke Yezempi, Kazwelonke, Nezisebenzi Zomphakathi (NCMNPS) ukuthi ukungathobeli imithetho kwenze isizindalwazi samanje singaphelele futhi singanembile kangangokuthi "kuzoba ngaphansi kokungenalusizo" ekusebenzeni kwangempela. okusalungiswa, nokuthi iCongress kufanele ichithe uMthetho Wenkonzo Yokukhetha Amasosha. Kukangaki umqondisi wangaphambili wesikhungo Sikahulumeni efakaza esidlangalaleni ukuthi yonke inhlangano ayeyihola kufanele iqedwe? Uma benza, njengoba uDkt. Rostker enzile ngesibindi, mhlawumbe uKhongolose kufanele ulalele.

Ubufakazi bukaDkt. Rostker bafanekiselwa omunye wabanduleli bakhe. Ngesikhathi a ukuzwa ngo-1980 ngesiphakamiso sokuqalisa kabusha ukubhaliswa okusalungiswa, uDkt. Curtis Tarr, owayekade enguMqondisi we-SSS ngo-1970-1972, wafakaza ukuthi “Ukuphoqelela imfuneko yokwazisa Isevisi Ekhethiwe ngekheli elishintshiwe kuzoba nzima nakakhulu kunokuphoqelela umsebenzi wokubhalisa…. Ngibona ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ngamanani amakhulu kugwemeke lokho kuzokhungathekisa izinhlaka ezibhekelele ukuthotshelwa komthetho namajaji.”

ICongress yabushaya indiva ubufakazi bukaMqondisi we-SSS uTarr ngo-1980, kodwa kwabonakala kuwukubikezela okunembile. ICongress akufanele ibuzibe ubufakazi obufanayo bakamuva balowo owayenguMqondisi we-SSS uRostker.

Ngeshwa, akekho uDkt. Rostker nanoma ubani omunye umbono wakhe ohlukile kuleyo ye-NCMNPS owamenywa noma wavunyelwa ukuba afakaze ekulalelweni kweNdlu ngomhla ka-19 Meyi. Ofakazi kuphela kwakungamalungu angaphambili e-NCMNPS, okwathi kunconywe ukunwetshwa kokubhaliswa okusalungiswa kubantu besifazane kodwa akubandakanga uhlelo lokuphoqelela noma isabelomali sokuphoqelela umbiko kanye nesiphakamiso seCongress.

NjengoSihlalo we-HASC, uRep. Smith waqonda ngqo ephuzwini embuzweni wakhe wokuqala kofakazi: “Ngaphansi komthetho, kufanele wazise uhulumeni ukuthi ukuphi phakathi kweminyaka eyi-18 nengama-26 - engingakuqinisekisa. awukho muntu okwenzayo…. Ngahamba kancane ngiphakathi kweminyaka eyi-18 nengama-26, futhi…Ngiqinisekile ukuthi akekho owatshela uhulumeni ukuthi ngihlala kuphi. Ngakho-ke ake sithi lolu hlelo bekufanele luqaliswe. Sizobathola kanjani abantu?…. Isevisi Ekhethiwe ngokwayo, noma ngabe iyasebenza kwabesilisa noma kwabesifazane, iyinkinga ngendlela emangalisayo uma uhlehlisa izendlalelo nhlobo futhi uyibhekisise. Ngakho-ke nginelukuluku lokuzwa ukwahlulela kwakho mayelana nendlela esilusebenzisa ngayo lolu hlelo…. Ingabe lolu hlelo ngokwalo lusebenzela noma ubani, kungakhathalekile ukuthi ubulili buni?”

UMaj. Genl. UJoe Heck, owayenguSihlalo we-NCMNPS, wawugwema lo mbuzo ngokukhuluma ngokuthi, noma kungenalusizo kanjani uhlaka, ukubhaliswa kwe-Selective Service “kunikeza ukuholela empini” - njengokungathi kufanele sisabise abantu ngejele nje. ukwenza uhlu lwezinhloso zabaqashwa bezempi, noma sengathi usongo olunjalo luzosebenza kahle ekunxenxeni abantu ngokuzithandela ukuba babhalise.

U-Rep. Smith ubuyele odabeni (lokungalandelwa) nokulandelwa komthetho: “Ingabe uyazi ukuthi kuphoqelelwa kanjani, uma abantu bengahambisani, kungaba ngokubhaliswa kokuqala noma nezimfuneko zokulandelela [ukwazisa i-Selective Service System yezinguquko zamakheli]?”

UMaj. Genl. U-Heck uphendule ngokunganaki ngokuchaza ukuthi umthetho we-Federal wawuvame ukudinga ukuthi amadoda abhalisele okusalungiswa ukuze afanelekele usizo lukahulumeni lwemfundo ephakeme. Kodwa uHeck ukugweme ukusho lokho lesi sidingo sasuswa yiCongress njengengxenye yomthethosivivinywa we-omnibus oshaywe ngasekupheleni konyaka odlule futhi uhlelelwe ukuthi uqale ukusebenza ungakedluli u-2023.

Kuthiwani ngalabo ababhalisa ngesikhathi esithile, kodwa bathuthe ngaphandle kokwazisa i-Selective Service System? Ingabe zingabhalwa? Lesi isithende se-Achilles sohlelo lwamanje lokubhalisa.

"Endabeni yabantu abathuthayo, nokungatholakali, ngicabanga ukuthi iphuzu lonke liwukwazi ukuthi abantu bakuphi hhayi nje ukuthi babhalisiwe," kuphawula uRep. Smith. "Kusebenza kanjani lokho ekusebenzeni?"

UMaj. Genl. U-Heck uvumile ukuthi, “Umbuzo omuhle lowo, uKhongolose Smith. Futhi eqinisweni, uqinisile. Yize kunesidingo sokwazisa Uhlelo [lweSelective Service] ngezinguquko zekheli, okwamanje ayikho indlela yokuphoqelela umthetho.”

Ngisho noMmeli u-Jackie Speier (D-CA), uSihlalo Wekomidi elincane Labasebenzi Bezempi kanye nomgqugquzeli wokwandisa ukubhaliswa okusalungiswa kwabesifazane, ucele ofakazi ukuthi baqinisekise - njengoba benza - ukuthi uMthetho Wenkonzo Yokukhetha Amasosha awusebenzi okwamanje. Lokho kungase kuholele ekutheni umuntu aphethe ngokuthi, njengoba sekubonakale ukuthi awusebenzi, lo mthetho kufanele uchithwe. Kodwa u-Rep. Speier wabonakala ephakamisa lokho inqobo nje empeleni akekho ovalelwe, akunangozi ukwenza izigidi zabantu zibe yicala.

Kodwa uRep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), IPhini likaSihlalo Wekomidi elincane Labasebenzi Bezempi, yaphawula ukuthi abesifazane abaningi abaye bavolontiya ukuya empini banomuzwa wokuthi uhulumeni uhlulekile. “Akufanele yini kube nokulingana kwabesifazane abasembuthweni ngaphambi kokuthi sifune ukuthi abesifazane babhalise?” ukuze athole inkonzo yezempi eyimpoqo, wazibuza ngokuzwakalayo.

Ngaphezu kokukhuluma okuphoqelekile inkonzo yezempi, ukulalelwa kwanamuhla kuhlanganisa uhla lwezinye izindaba ezihlobene ngokuzithandela isevisi eyadingidwa yi-NCMNPS. Kusengenzeka ukuthi u-Rep. Speier uzobiza ukulalelwa kokulandelela eKomidini Elingaphansi Labasebenzi Bezempi ngokuqondile mayelana Nenkonzo Yokukhetha, njengoba athembisa ngonyaka odlule ukuthi uzokwenza.

Kodwa-ke, ukuphawula kwamalungu amaningana eKomidi Lezikhali Ezihlomile ngesikhathi sokulalelwa kwecala namuhla kuphakamise ukuthi isiphakamiso sokwandisa ukubhaliswa kwe-Selective Service singafakwa kuMthetho Wokugunyazwa Kwezokuvikela Kazwelonke walo nyaka (i-NDAA). Lokho kungenzeka ngenkulumo-mpikiswano encane futhi ngaphandle kokulalelwa okuphelele nokulungile, nofakazi abasekela izinketho zombili (ukuphela noma ukwandisa ukubhaliswa Kwesevisi Ekhethiwe), izishoshovu ezimelene nohlaka ezinazo. kubizwe.

Uma uphikisana nokubuthelwa empini, manje yisikhathi sokukhuluma!
