NguPat Elder, Juni 30 2017,
Ibuyisiwe kusuka Impi Iwubugebengu.
Ngonyaka lo Igoli lebutho ukuqasha amasosha angu-80,000 futhi agcine amasosha. I Navy uzama ukubhalisa abangu-42,000; i air Force ufuna 27,000, kanye Amanzini ngethemba ukuletha ku-38,000. Lokho kufika ku-187,000. I Army National Guard uzophinde azame ukuheha abangu-40,000.
La masosha ayadingeka ukuze kugcinwe isimo esikhona unyaka wonke, ngaphandle kokwenyuka ngomzuzu wokugcina kwamasosha angama-6,000 engeziwe angezwe nguMongameli Obama.
I-Pentagon izama ukuqasha endaweni ethile amasosha angaba ngu-227,000 kulo nyaka, futhi banesikhathi esisodwa sokuwathola, nakuba bejabulela ukufinyelela ngokomzimba okungakaze kubonwe kwezingane ezikoleni zethu eziphakeme kanye nokuchayeka okungakaze kubonwe emiqondweni yabo ngokusebenzisa isiko elidumile. Ngo-2010 bekukhona abantu baseMelika abayizigidi ezingama-30.7 abaphakathi kweminyaka eyi-18 nengama-24. Abangu-227,000 basebenzela ku-.73% weminyaka yobudala yokuqasha.
Amasosha aphoqeleka ukuthi axegise izindinganiso eziningana ukuze alethe amasosha. Bathi izingane zamanje zikhuluphele kakhulu noma izimungulu noma aziziphathanga kahle ukuze zenze ibanga. Bathi intsha itshelwe okungeyikho ngempilo yezempi, kodwa siyazi ukuthi iningi lentsha alifuni ukuyeka inkululeko yalo futhi lifake izimpilo zalo engozini ukuze lisebenze empini eshisekela ngokweqile ukuya empini.
Hewu. Iqiniso. Sesiyadlulela kulaba bantu abasha.
Ukwengeza kukaMongameli u-Obama ngokuhlukana kwamasosha angu-6,000 kukwenza kube ukwanda okukhulu konyaka emlandweni wamasosha abuthiwe kusukela ekupheleni kohlaka ngo-1973. Ukwengeza amasosha angu-6,000 ekwindla ka-2017 kuzobiza i-Army $ 200 million. amabhonasi kwabasanda kuqashwa, amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-100 kwezokukhangisa futhi okungenani amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-10 ngaphezulu ukuze kwandiswe iqoqo labaqashi. Lokho cishe ku-$52,000 ngomuntu ngamunye oqashiwe, futhi abaningi bazohamba ngemva kwethemu yabo yokuqala.
Ngakolunye uhlangothi, uMongameli uTrump uthe ufuna ukwengeza amasosha angama-60,000 ngobukhulu beButho, (izikhathi eziyishumi zika-Obama 6,000) futhi andise Amasosha Asolwandle angaphezu kwengxenye eyodwa kwezintathu, noma cishe amasosha angama-66,000. Lesi sishoshovu siphinde sabiza amakhulu emikhumbi emisha ye-Navy kanye nezilwi ezintsha ze-Air Force, ezidinga amandla amakhulu kakhulu, afinyelela ku-50,000 ngezilinganiso ezithile zamasosha/zebhizinisi. Ubukhulu bukaTrump buzokwengeza amasosha ayi-176,000, okufana nokunyuka okukhulu kwe-13.6% kunezinombolo ezisebenzayo njengamanje ezimi ezigidini eziyi-1.3.

Abasebenzi bezempi abasebenzayo njengamanje ekupheleni kwe-FY2017
Amasosha angama-476,000
I-Navy 322,900
Amasosha 182,000
I-Air Force 317,000
Ingqikithi ye-1,297,900

I-Rhetoric eceleni, isabelomali esihlongozwayo sikaTrump asinyusi izikhundla zebutho lezempi ngonyaka ozayo, nakuba isabelomali sakhe sicela ama-airmen angu-4,000 ngaphezulu, amatilosi angu-1,400, kanye namanye ama-574 Marines. Ukwanda okuqinile kungase kuyeza ngonyaka.
Kahle kahle kanjani uMnyango Wezokuvikela kaTrump uzonxenxa intsha engafuni ukungena kwezempi ukuze ihlangabezane nalezi zidingo ezintsha? Impendulo iwukuthi bazoqhubeka nokuqamba amanga, ukukopela, ukukhahlela, ukufihla, nokubhekana nokuphakela lesi silo esibuthayo. Bazophinde bathembele ekudonseni izingane ezifundazweni eziyisithupha kuphela ezinikela njalo ngo-40% wabo bonke ababuthwayo.
Ukuqashwa kwezempi kuyisithende se-Achilles sombuso waseMelika. Abafudumezi banamuhla basengozini kakhulu ngoba badinga ukufinyelela okugcwele yethu izingane ku yethu izikole ngenkathi imiphakathi eminingi ihlehla. Ibhukwana lokuqasha lamasosha libiza “ubunikazi” bezikole zamabanga aphezulu zaseMelika, ngakho-ke kuyisibopho komunye nomunye wethu ukwazi izinga lokuqasha ezikoleni zethu futhi sithathe izinyathelo zokubhekana nakho. Zimbalwa ezinye izinhlobo zokumelana ezisongela kakhulu i-cabal ebusayo.
Izindlela Ezinhlanu Zokumelana:
Umthetho weFederal idinga ukuthi izikole zikhiphe amagama, amakheli, nezinombolo zabo bonke abafundi bezikole zamabanga aphezulu kubaqashwe bezempi. Umthetho unikeza abazali ilungelo “lokuphuma” ngokubhala. Okusho ukuthi, abazali bangakwazi ukwazisa isikole ukuthi abafuni ukuthi ulwazi lwengane yabo lukhishelwe abaqashi bezempi futhi izikole kufanele zihloniphe isicelo sabo. Inkinga ukuthi umthetho ubuthakathaka. Isaziso esisodwa sesikole esinikezwe nge-handout noma incwadi yomfundi eluleka abazali abangase baphume kuyo sanele. Ngenxa yalokho, abazali abaningi abanaki.
Izikole eziningi zenza umsebenzi omubi ukwazisa abazali ngelungelo lokuphuma. Ngokungafani namanye amafomu amaningi esikole, ukuphothulwa kwawo kungokuzithandela, ngaphandle kwaseMaryland lapho umthetho udinga ukuthi bonke abazali bawugcwalise. Xhumana nezikole zakho, ibhodi lesikole sakho kanye nebhodi yezemfundo yesifunda sakho ukuze ufune ukuthi izikole zenze umsebenzi ongcono wokwazisa abazali ngelungelo labo lokuphuma. Kufanele siwushaye phansi lo mthetho futhi kuze kube yileso sikhathi, kufanele senze ifomu lokuphuma libe yimpoqo.
2 Amasevisi Ahlomile Ibhethri Yekhono Lomsebenzi Wezandla (ASVAB)
Cishe abafundi abangu-700,000 ezikoleni eziphakeme ze-12,000 bathatha i-ASVAB njalo ngonyaka. I-ASVAB iyisivivinyo sokubhaliswa kwamasosha amahora angu-3. Ibutho lezempi libukisa ukuhlolwa njengohlelo lokuhlola umsebenzi wezakhamuzi, olubaluleke kakhulu ekunqumeni izindlela zomsebenzi zabadala bezikole zamabanga aphezulu. Khonamanjalo, imithetho yezempi ithi inhloso eyinhloko ye-ASVAB ukuthola imikhondo yabaqashi. Ukumaketha kwe-ASVAB kuyakhohlisa ngendlela emangalisayo, futhi isixhumanisi esiya ezempi asihlali sibonakala.
Nakuba amasosha eqoqa imiqulu yolwazi ngezingane zethu, bebengeke bazi ukuthi uhlakaniphe kangakanani uJohnny ngaphandle kwe-ASVAB. Ukuhlolwa okufana ne-SAT kufaka phakathi izigaba ezijwayelekile Zezibalo nesiNgisi kodwa futhi kunezigaba ezimayelana nokuzenzakalelayo, isitolo, nokuqonda kwemishini. I-ASVAB iqoqa izinombolo zokuphepha komphakathi kanye nolwazi olubucayi lwezibalo zabantu kusukela kwabancane, umkhuba onqatshelwe imithetho eminingi yezwe.
Imvamisa, i-DOD ithumela isisebenzi esisodwa esingesona esomphakathi ukuthi sengamele ukuphathwa kokuhlolwa, kuyilapho iqembu lothisha nabaphathi belusa abafundi. Uma izikole zinikeza isivivinyo, imiphumela izothathwa “njengamarekhodi ezemfundo” futhi ngenxa yalokho, umthetho wenhlangano ofuna imvume yabazali ngaphambi kokuba ulwazi lwezingane lukhishelwe abantu besithathu. Ngenxa yalokho, imiphumela ye-ASVAB iwukuphela kolwazi lwabafundi olushiya amakilasi aseMelika ngaphandle kwemvume yabazali.
Kufanele ime!
Kunokuba ufune ukuthi kususwe uhlelo olugxile ngokujulile kanye “nolwamahhala” lokuhlola umsebenzi, kuyisu elingcono lokufuna ukuthi imiphumela ingasetshenziselwa ukuqasha izingane. Izikole ezi-2,000 kanye nezifunda ezintathu sezikwenzile lokhu.
3 Ithimba Lokuqeqeshwa Kwezikhulu Zombuso Ezincane (JROTC)
Izincwadi ze-JROTC zifundisa uhlobo olusabelayo lomlando wase-US kanye nohulumeni, kuyilapho amakilasi evame ukufundiswa abathatha umhlalaphansi bezempi abangenayo imfundo yasekolishi. Isibonelo, incwadi yombhalo wonyaka omncane we-Army iqukethe le zinger, "I-CIA yabamba iqhaza ekuketuleni uhulumeni waseSalvador Allende. Uhulumeni wase-United States wacabanga ukuthi u-Allende wayengavuni izithakazelo zethu zezwe.” Ukuphela kwengxoxo. Uphiko olumayelana nokuba yisakhamuzi lunesihloko esithi “Nina Bantu.” Izinto ezinobuthi lezi. Kufanele sifune ukwenganyelwa kwekharikhulamu! Izincwadi zebhizinisi zimbi ngokwanele. Banikeza umbono we-neo-liberal, ilungelo lokubuka isikhungo, kodwa "bathuthuka" kakhulu kunezincwadi zezempi ze-JROTC.
Qiniseka ukuthi abafundi abafakwa emakilasini e-JROTC ngaphandle kwemvume yabazali. Cela izibalo zokubhalisa ze-JROTC zesikole ngasinye. Uma noma yimaphi amayunithi ehle ngaphansi kwesamba sabafundi abayi-100 iminyaka emibili ilandelana, vungama ukuze uwasuse njengoba kudingwa yimithetho yenhlangano. Qinisekisa ukuthi izikole azivumeli izifundo ze-JROTC ukwanelisa i-PE noma amakhredithi omlando. Isibonelo, iFlorida ivumela i-JROTC ukuthi ithathele indawo yesayensi yezomzimba, ibhayoloji, ubuciko obusebenzayo, namakhono okuphatha impilo, kuyilapho lezi zifundo zivame ukufundiswa abantu abangenazo iziqu.
Okokugcina, kungani izinyunyana zizithele ngabandayo? Lokhu kuhlasela kwezempi kuwukubukela phansi othisha abahlangene nezinyunyana.
4 Izinhlelo Zokumaka Ezikoleni Eziphakeme
I-Pentagon yamukela amandla okuyenga esibangeli njengethuluzi lokuqasha. Eqaphela amandla, amasosha axhaphaza imidlalo yevidiyo nezikhali ukuze abuthe futhi ahlakulele ababulali bentsha. Izikole eziphakeme ze-2,400 manje zinezinhlelo ze-marksmanship ezihambisana ne-JROTC kanye ne-Congressional-chartered Civilian Marksmanship Program, (CMP). Izingane zesikole zikahulumeni zivame ukuya emiqhudelwaneni ephethwe yi-NRA.
Izikole zivumela ukudubulana kwenzeke ngesikhathi sesikole emakilasini nasezindaweni zokuzivocavoca ezingcoliswe izingcezwana zomthofu ezidutshulwe ezimbanjeni zomoya ze-CO2 eziphuma emoyeni futhi zibekwe phansi ekugcineni kwe-muzzle-back nangemuva eliqondiwe. Izingane zilandela umkhondo esikoleni sonke. Ukuphoqelelwa okuxekethile kwemithetho kudala ingozi yezempilo kubafundi nabasebenzi abagadayo.
Qinisekisa ukuthi yiziphi izikole okwamanje ezinamabanga okudubula futhi bafuna ukuvalwa kwazo.
Okungenani bafuna ukuthi bayeke ukusebenzisa ama-lead projectiles ezakhiweni zesikole. Ama-pellets angaholeli ayatholakala, kodwa i-CMP namasosha awawathandi.
Uma amabanga okudubula akhona, nquma ukuthi isikole sithobela yini “Umhlahlandlela Wokuhola Ukuphathwa Kwesibhamu Somoya” oshicilelwe yi-CMP eqashwe ngeCongressly. Le mithetho iqine ngendlela exakile kodwa ayisebenzi. I-CMP iqongelele imali ecishe ibe yizigidi ezingama- $200 ezibambiso ezuzwe ngokudayisa izikhali Zamasosha ezilahliwe ngenkathi kusetshenziswa ingxenye encane yalokho kuqapha ubuthi bomthofu ezikoleni zethu eziphakeme.
Umthetho we-Federal uthi abaqashi bezempi kufanele babe nokufinyelela okufanayo ezinganeni njengabaqashi basekolishi - hhayi ukufinyelela okukhulu. Abaqashi bezempi bavame ukudla endaweni yokudlela kuyilapho abaqashi bekolishi behlangana nezingane ezikhethiwe ehhovisi lokuqondisa. Izikole eziningi zinikeza abaqashi bezempi ukubusa kwamahhala ukuze bahlanganyele nezingane. Ukufinyelela abaqashi bezempi abajabulela izingane zethu ngokuvamile kunqunywa othishanhloko bezikole zamabanga aphezulu, esikhundleni samabhodi ezikole. Yazisa uthishanhloko ukuthi uzizwa kanjani.
Funa ukuthi abaqashi bezempi bangalokothi bavunyelwe ukuba bodwa nezingane. ((google: umqashi wamasosha, ukudlwengula)). Thola ulwazi oluphikisayo lokuqashwa kwabasebenzi ku-NNOMY (Inethiwekhi Kazwelonke Ephikisa Ukubuthwa Kwentsha) kanye Nephrojekthi YANO (Iphrojekthi Yentsha Namathuba Angewona Ezempi) ezikoleni zakho. Qiniseka ukuthi abaqashiwe abahlali njalo emahhovisi okuqondisa.
Izinkantolo zombuso zinqume sinelungelo lokuphikisa umyalezo wabaqasha ezikoleni.
Uguquko esilwenzayo kumele lwenzeke ezikoleni. Ngeke sisakwazi ukukhokhela izikole ezingomakhelwane bethu kuma-corporatists kanye namasosha. Izimpi ziqala ezikoleni zethu zamabanga aphezulu, futhi kulapho singasiza khona ukuziqeda.
