Amaqembu omakadebona anikeza ukwesekwa kwabasebenzi be-Drone Operators kanye Nabasebenzi Abasekelayo abanquma ukuthi abasafuni ukubamba iqhaza ekubulaweni kwe-drone.
AmaVeteran For Peace and Iraq Veterans Against the War ahlanganyele nezishoshovu zokuthula ezivela e-US yonke ekanisa ngaphandle kwaseCreech AFB kuleli sonto, enyakatho nje yeLas Vegas, Nevada.
Izenzo zokungalaleli komphakathi kuhlelwa e-Creech AFB kusenesikhathi Friday ekuseni, Mashi 6.
"Akujwayelekile noma akuphilile ukuthi umuntu abulale abanye abantu,” kusho uGerry Condon, iPhini likaMongameli weVeterans For Peace. “Omakadebona abaningi basaqhubeka nokuhlushwa yi-PTSD kanye 'nokulimala kokuziphatha' impilo yabo yonke. Izinga lokuzibulala lomsebenzi osebenzayo wama-GI kanye nomakadebona liphezulu kakhulu.
"Silapha ukuze sinikeze usizo kubafowethu nodadewethu, amadodana namadodakazi angakwazi ukuqhubeka ngonembeza omuhle ukuba nengxenye ekubulaleni abantu, abaningi babo okuyizakhamuzi ezingenacala, endaweni ekude nengxenye yembulunga yonke,” kuqhuba uGerry Condon.
Umlayezo oya ku-Creech airmen uthi, ngokwengxenye:
"Sikukhuthaza ukuthi ucabangisise ngendawo yakho ohlelweni lwezinto. Ungakwazi yini, ngonembeza omuhle, ukuqhubeka nokubamba iqhaza ekubulaleni abanye abantu, noma ngabe ukude kangakanani? Uma, ngemva kokufuna umphefumulo okungathi sína, ukholelwa ukuthi uphikisana nazo zonke izimpi, ungafaka isicelo sokukhululwa embuthweni Wezempi Njengomuntu Ophikisana Nonembeza. Uma udinga iseluleko, kunezinhlangano zabantu abenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza ezingakusiza.
Abasebenzi bezempi banelungelo kanye nesibopho sokwenqaba ukubamba iqhaza ebugebengwini bempi, ngokomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, umthetho wase-US kanye neKhodi Efanayo Yobulungiswa Bezempi. Bese kuba nemithetho yokuziphatha ephakeme.
AWUWEDWA. Uma unquma ukwenqaba imiyalo engekho emthethweni noma ukumelana nezimpi ezingekho emthethweni, sikhona ukuze sikusekele.”
Ngo-2005, iCreech Air Force Base ngasese yaba isizinda sokuqala saseMelika ezweni ukwenza ukubulala okulawulwa kude kusetshenziswa izindiza ze-MQ-1 Predator. Ngo-2006, ama-Reaper drones athuthuke kakhulu angezwa ku-arsenal yawo. Ngonyaka odlule, ku-2014, kwaputshuzwa ukuthi uhlelo lokubulawa kwe-drone lwe-CIA, okusemthethweni ukusebenza okuhlukile kune-Air Force's, beluvivinywa ngaso sonke isikhathi yi-Creech's super-secret Squadron 17.
Ngokocwaningo oluzimele lwakamuva, ukuthi ungubani oyedwa kuphela kwabangu-28 abayizisulu zeziteleka ze-drone abaziwa ngaphambili. Yize izikhulu zikuphika, iningi lalabo ababulawa ama-drones yizakhamizi.
Wonke Umlayezo osuka kumaVeteran uya ku-Drone Operators kanye Nabasebenzi Abasekelayo

Umlayezo osuka kumaVeteran uya ku-Drone Operators
kanye Nabasebenzi Abasekelayo eCreech Air Force Base
Kubafowethu nodadewethu, amadodana namadodakazi eCreech Air Force Base,
Kuleli sonto, omakadebona bezimpi zaseMelika eVietnam, Iraq nase-Afghanistan batheleka eNevada ukuzojoyina imibhikisho ngaphandle kweCreech Air Force Base ngokumelene neDrone Warfare. Asibhikishi ngokumelene nani, ama-airmen (nabesifazane) abangabaqhubi be-drone nabasebenzi abasekelayo.
Sifinyelela kuwena ngoba siyasiqonda isikhundla okuso. Sake saba kuleso simo nathi, abanye bethu muva nje. Siyazi ukuthi kunjani ukubanjwa ezimpini eziyinqaba nezinonya okungezona ezethu, futhi ezingaphumeleli ngokusobala esizweni sakithi.. Sifuna ukwabelana namanye amaqiniso ethu esiwazuze kanzima, futhi sikunikeze ukwesekwa kwethu.
Siyazi ukuthi abaqhubi be-drone kanye nabasebenzi abasekelayo banomsebenzi onzima. Siyaqonda ukuthi awudlali imidlalo yevidiyo, kodwa kunalokho uhlanganyela ezimweni zokuphila nokufa nsuku zonke. Awuqondisiwe futhi akufanele ukhathazeke ngokubulawa nokulimala. Kodwa ningabantu abanemizwa ehluphekayo noma kunjalo. Nawe unonembeza.
Akujwayelekile noma akunempilo ukuthi abantu babulale abanye abantu. Omakadebona abaningi bayaqhubeka nokuhlushwa yi-PTSD kanye “nokulimala kokuziphatha” impilo yabo yonke. Izinga lokuzibulala lomsebenzi osebenzayo wama-GI kanye nomakadebona liphezulu kakhulu.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi uyiphotha kanjani, umsebenzi wakho uhlanganisa ukubulala abanye abantu, izinkulungwane zamamayela kude, abangakusongeli. Ngokungangabazeki uyafuna ukwazi ukuthi bangobani laba bantu. Ngokocwaningo oluzimele lwakamuva, ukuthi ungubani oyedwa kuphela kwabangu-28 abayizisulu zeziteleka ze-drone abaziwa ngaphambili. Yize izikhulu zikuphika, iningi lalabo ababulawa ama-drones yizakhamizi.
Njengamakadebona asebenze ezimpini eziningi nasezisekelweni eziningi zempi, besizifundisa ngokwenzeka eCreech AFB. Ngo-2005, iCreech Air Force Base ngasese yaba isizinda sokuqala saseMelika ezweni ukwenza ukubulala okulawulwa kude kusetshenziswa izindiza ze-MQ-1 Predator. Ngo-2006, ama-Reaper drones athuthuke kakhulu angezwa kunqolobane yawo. Ngonyaka odlule, ku-2014, kwaputshuzwa ukuthi uhlelo lokubulawa kwe-drone lwe-CIA, okusemthethweni ukusebenza okuhlukile kune-Air Force's, beluvivinywa ngaso sonke isikhathi yi-Creech's super-secret Squadron 17.
Izimpi zase-US kanye nokusebenza kwe-Iraq ne-Afghanistan kube yizinhlekelele kubantu balawo mazwe. Lezi zimpi ziphinde zaba yinhlekelele emasosheni, osolwandle, abezindiza (nabesifazane) abaphoqeleka ukuba balwe nazo, kanye nemindeni yabo.
Usongo lwamaphekula lwe-ISIS lwanamuhla ngabe alukho ukube i-US ayizange ihlasele futhi ithathe i-Iraq. Ngokufanayo, impi ye-drone yaseMelika ePakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen naseSomalia idala ubuphekula obengeziwe, ingabuqedi. Futhi, njengoba omakadebona abaningi bethole kabuhlungu, lezi zimpi bezisekelwe emangeni, futhi zihlobene kakhulu namaphupho amadoda acebile ombuso kunokuvikela izwe lethu kanye nokuphila kahle kwabantu abavamile.
Ngakho yini ongayenza ngakho? Usemasosheni manje. Kunemiphumela emibi kulabo abanesibindi sokubuza umsebenzi. Lokho kuyiqiniso. Kodwa futhi kunemiphumela emibi kakhulu kulabo abangakwenzi lokho. Kufanele sikwazi ukuphila nathi.
AWUWEDWA
Sikukhuthaza ukuthi ucabangisise ngendawo yakho ohlelweni lwezinto. Ungakwazi yini, ngonembeza omuhle, ukuqhubeka nokubamba iqhaza ekubulaleni abanye abantu, noma ngabe ukude kangakanani?
Uma, ngemva kokufuna umphefumulo okungathi sína, ukholelwa ukuthi uphikisana nazo zonke izimpi, ungafaka isicelo sokukhululwa embuthweni Wezempi Njengomuntu Ophikisana Nonembeza.
Uma udinga iseluleko, kunezinhlangano zabantu abenqaba ukuya empini ngenxa kanembeza ezingakusiza.
Abasebenzi bezempi banelungelo kanye nesibopho sokwenqaba ukubamba iqhaza ebugebengwini bempi, ngokomthetho wamazwe ngamazwe, umthetho wase-US kanye neKhodi Efanayo Yobulungiswa Bezempi. Bese kuba nemithetho yokuziphatha ephakeme.
Uma unquma ukwenqaba imiyalo engekho emthethweni noma ukumelana nezimpi ezingekho emthethweni, sikhona ukuze sikusekele.
Sicela futhi ucabangele ukusijoyina ukwenza isizathu esifanayo nozakwethu bomakadebona abasebenzela ukuthula ekhaya nokuthula phesheya. Samukela amalungu asebenzayo.
Ungathola okwengeziwe kumawebhusayithi abhalwe ngezansi.
