Izimo eziphuthumayo zikazwelonke ziveza ubuhlakani baseMelika kanye nokuzimisela ukuguqula amagiya — njengawo abashadikazi eMaine obhale muva nje The Washington Post mayelana nokuqalisa kabusha inkampani yabo ukwenza imaski esikhundleni se-hoodies. Okuvame ukucelwa njengokwandulelayo ukuguqulwa okusheshayo kwezimboni zama-auto ukukhipha amathangi eMpi Yezwe II.

Leso simo esiphuthumayo sikazwelonke sangena kwi-Cold War yesikhathi eside. Yize leyo mpi yagcina iphela, ukuqoqwa kwezinsizakusebenza kwezempi akuzange kube njalo. Siyaqhubeka abele ngaphezu kwesigamu yesabelomali sethu sikahulumeni - ingxenye evotelwa yiCongress minyaka yonke - eya kwiPentagon, futhi imali eningi, iguqulwe ngokwezinga lokwehla kwamandla emali, kunalokho eyake yakhona phakathi neMpi Yomshoshaphansi.

Asazi ukuthi ubhubhane luzophela nini, nokuthi luzokuguqula kanjani unomphela impilo yaseMelika. Kepha siyazi ukuthi kuzodingeka senze okuthile okukhulu, kwesikhashana okuhamba ngamagiya. Manje sekuveziwe izimbobo ezivulekile ohlelweni lwethu lwezempilo lomphakathi olwenziwe ukunganakwa kwesabelomali. Sizodinga ukugcwalisa le migodi unomphela kunokuzixakekisa okuphuthumayo, ukuze sizilungiselele ngokwanele ukubhebhetheka noma ubhadane olulandelayo. Futhi enye yalezi, bese kuba enye, kuthanda ziyeza, ziba nzima noma zinciphise kakhulu ngokuya ngalokho esikwenzayo okwamanje. Lokhu kuqiniseka kungenye yemiphumela ososayensi abayibonile ukusheshisa ukuguquguquka kwesimo sezulu.

Ukubuyiswa kabusha kwesabelomali esikhulu kuzodingeka phindisela ukuqoqwa kwemali esetshenziselwa iPentagon ekubhekaneni nosongo lwegciwane sonke esaphoqeleka ukuba silubone. Lokhu kuphenduka ngokushesha ukuhlakanipha okuvamile.

Osonkontileka bezempi bazozama ukuvimba lokhu. Ukubenza babe yingxenye yesisombululo kuzosiza.

Ukungalingani kwesabelomali kudale amandla ethu okukhiqiza. Ngenkathi sinezinsizakusebenza ekwakheni izizinda zezimboni ezihola phambili emhlabeni jikelele, sibuke njengoba iChina ibilima imali kakhulu izinto zokwelashwa, kanye ne amandla elanga. Osonkontileka bezempi bazolandela imali; bahlala benayo. Uma isabelomali sombuso siqondisa imali ethe xaxa ekuthuthukiseni amandla asekhaya kule mikhakha, osonkontileka bazozama ukuhlanganyela.

Kunenkinga ngalesi simo, nokho, kubangelwa umehluko phakathi kokukhiqizwa kwamasosha nokwenziwa kwabantu. Lapho osonkontileka bezempi bezamile ukusebenzisa imikhuba yenkontileka abayaziyo, njengezindinganiso zempi zokufaka imishini, ukungena kweminye imikhakha, izindleko sezikhuphuke ngaphezu kwalokho okuzotholwa yimakethe yezentengiselwano. Lapho i- ukuhlukaniswa kwamasosha kwe-Boeing izamile ukwenza amabhasi emuva ngeminyaka yama-70s, ngemuva kokuphela kweMpi yaseVietnam, umkhuba wezempi we "concurrency" - ukuthengisa nokuthumela imikhiqizo yayo ngaphambi kokuba izimbungulu zisebenze - amabhasi abo abhidlika kulo lonke idolobha. (Ngenkathi i-concurrency ishiywa, amabhasi ekugcineni ahamba kahle, kepha umonakalo wobudlelwano bomphakathi wenziwa.)

Ngemuva kokuphela kweMpi Yomshoshaphansi — ngesikhathi esilandelayo ukwehla kwesabelomali samasosha kwaholela osonkontileka bePentagon ukuthi babheke kanzima ukuthi yini enye abangayenza — ohulumeni bamazwe nabenza imizamo emincane yokunqoba lezi zinkinga. Abaphathi bakaClinton Iphrojekthi Yokuvuselela Ubuchwepheshe, isibonelo, wahlanganisa ezentengiselwano nabakhiqizi bezempi, ukuze abafana bezempi bafunde kubafana bezentengiselwano ukwenza izinto imakethe yezentengiselwano engazithenga. UMnyango Wezohwebo Uhlelo Lokwengeza Olwandiso ithuthukise ubuchwepheshe ekusizeni abakhiqizi bezempi ukuthi bavuselele imigqa yabo yokukhiqiza baphinde baqeqeshe abasebenzi babo ngomsebenzi wokuhweba. Sizodinga izinhlobo ezintsha zezinhlelo ezinjengalezi manje.
