Yebo ngingathinta kuphela isici esisodwa somlando wakamuva lapha.
ngibhekile umbiko omusha ovela ku-Costs of War.
Eminyakeni emihlanu edlule, ngicabanga uNicolas Davies ngokukholekayo nangokucophelela balinganiselwa ezigidini ezingu-6 abantu ababulawa ngokuqondile ezimpini zase-US kusukela ngo-2001 e-Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Libya naseSomalia.
Okwenziwe Izindleko Zempi manje ukuhamba nesilinganiso esingabazeki kakhulu kodwa esihlonishwa yinkampani sabangu-900,000 ababulawa ngokuqondile kuzo zonke lezo zimpi, kodwa beshiya iLibya neSomalia. Bese bebhala iphethini yokufa okungaqondile okune kukho konke ukufa okuqondile. Ngokufa okungaqondile, basho ukufa okubangelwa umthelela wempi ku:
"1) eukuwa kwezomnotho, ukulahlekelwa indlela yokuziphilisa nokuntula ukudla;
2) dukufundiswa kwe pumphakathi sizinkonzo kanye himpilo iingqalasizinda;
3) eezemvelo cukugcoba; futhi
4) rukuhlukumezeka okungapheli nobudlova.”
Bese bephindaphinda 900,000 by 5 = 4.5 million ukufa okuqondile nokungaqondile.
Ukusebenzisa isilinganiso esifanayo ezigidini eziyisi-6 bekungabangela ukufa okuqondile nokungaqondile okuyizigidi ezingama-30.
Kepha, kunjalo, kungenzeka ukuthi ukuphikelela okuvamile kokubukelwa phansi ukufa okuqondile - uma ngiqinisile ngalokho - kusitshela kabanzi ngenani lokufa okuqondile nokungaqondile, kunokuba kube nenani eliphelele lokufa. Uma, ngokwesibonelo, kukhona ukufa okungaqondile okubili kuphela kokufa okuqondile ngakunye okuvela kulezi zimpi, kusho ukuthi izigidi eziyisi-6 ziphindaphinda 3 = izigidi eziyi-18 sezizonke zokufa.
Akukho kulokhu, yiqiniso, okucabangela izigidi eziningi ezingafile kodwa ezingondlekile kanye/noma ezihlukumezekile kanye/noma ezingafundile ngenxa yalezi zimpi. (Izindleko zombiko weMpi zilinganisela 7.6 abayizigidi ezingu izingane ezingaphansi kweminyaka emihlanu zihlushwa ukungondleki, or ukuchithwa, e-Afghanistan, e-Iraq, ISyria, Yemen, neSomalia.)
Futhi akukho kulokhu okuya lapho amanani amakhulu ngempela ekhona, okungukuthi emathubeni alahlekile, isimo sezulu, ukungasebenzisani, kanye nenuzi.
Ngamashumi ezigidigidi zamaRandi ungasindisa izigidi eziningi zezimpilo endlaleni nasezifo. Lezi zimpi zibiza amakhulu ezigidigidi. Ukuzilungiselela kanye nokunye okumele kuzilandele kubiza izigidigidi. Izimpi zacekela phansi impahla ebiza izigidigidi zamaRandi.
Izimpi namalungiselelo azo kanye nokunye okuzolandela kwenze umonakalo omkhulu esimweni sezulu soMhlaba kanye nemvelo, okuzodala ukufa kwabantu abaningi, kanye nokungebona abantu.
Izimpi namalungiselelo azo nokunye okuzolandela kuyisithiyo esikhulu sokubambisana komhlaba wonke ngezifo eziwubhadane, ukungabi namakhaya, ubumpofu kanye nokuwohloka kwemvelo.
Izimpi namalungiselelo azo kanye nokunye okuzolandela kubeke umhlaba engcupheni enkulu kakhulu ye-apocalypse yenuzi.
Engicabanga ukuthi umbiko we-Costs of War usitshela ngokuqinisekile ukuthi, bangaki abantu asebebulewe ngokuqondile kulezi zimpi, amanani amakhulu nawo abulewe ngokungaqondile. Uma sibheka amathuba alahlekile, khona-ke sikhuluma ngomthelela emhlabeni wonke, kuhlanganise nase-United States. I-US ibingaba namazinga aseYurophu emfundo, ezempilo, umhlalaphansi, namandla ahlanzekile esikhundleni salezi zimpi.
Kodwa uma sibheka nje ukufa okuqondile nokungaqondile kwezimpi (noma ukufa kwempi nokulimala) kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi iphesenti elincane kakhulu lokufa okuqondile (noma ukufa nokulimala) okuya emabuthweni ase-US lehla kakhulu lapho ukufa okungaqondile kucatshangelwa.
Lokhu ngingakufanekisa ngesibalo engake ngasisebenzisa ngaphambili kusukela empini yaseVietnam.
Amasosha ase-US enza u-1.6% wabashona, kodwa ukuhlupheka kwawo okubusa amafilimu ase-US mayelana nempi, empeleni ahlupheke kakhulu futhi ngendlela esabekayo njengoba kubonisiwe. Izinkulungwane zomakadebona sezizibulele. Kodwa cabanga ukuthi lokho kusho ukuthini ngezinga langempela lokuhlupheka okudalwe, ngisho nakubantu nje, ungazinaki zonke ezinye izinhlobo zezilwane ezithintekile. ISikhumbuzo saseVietnam eWashington DC sibala amagama angu-58,000 odongeni lwamamitha angu-150. Lokho kungamagama angama-387 imitha. Ukufaka uhlu ngendlela efanayo amagama ayizigidi ezi-4 kuzodinga amamitha ayi-10,336, noma ibanga ukusuka e-Lincoln Memorial ukuya ezitebhisini ze-US Capitol, futhi ubuye futhi, futhi ubuyele eCapitol futhi, bese ubuyela emuva njengawo wonke amamyuziyamu kodwa ume kancane. lesikhumbuzo saseWashington.
Manje ake ucabange ukuphindaphinda ngo-3 noma ngo-5. Iphesenti lase-US lehlela engxenyeni encane ye-1% yokufa ekuhlatshweni kohlangothi olulodwa.
Vele lokhu kubuye kubeke ngombono lezo zinsolo ezinyanyekayo zokuthi ukufa kwezibhamu zase-US ekhaya kuphakeme kunokufa ezimpini zase-US noma ukuthi impi yase-US eyabulala kakhulu kwakuyiMpi Yombango Yase-US. Ngokwezibalo, cishe konke ukufa ezimpini zase-US - okubandakanya izimpi zabameli base-US okungaxoxwa ngazo lapha - ukufa okungekona okwaseMelika.
Manje zibone ngeso lengqondo ufaka konke ukufa kwempi, okuqondile nokungaqondile, odongeni olulodwa lwesikhumbuzo. Mhlawumbe yayizonqamula izwekazi.
