Impi isihogo cishe kuwo wonke umuntu osondela kuyo. Futhi lokhu kusebenza nasezilwaneni. I-United States ithumele amakhulu ezinja ukuthi zisebenze ngokubambisana namasosha ase-US e-Afghanistan, Iraq, nakwamanye amazwe kusukela ngoSepthemba 11, 2001.
Ukuthi izinja zisebenza emasosheni akuyona into entsha. Ibutho lilokhu linezinja eceleni kwalo kusukela ngosuku lokuqala. E-USA namuhla, cishe babalelwa ku-1,600 labo okuthiwa yizinja zempi (MWDs) bayasebenza, kungaba ngaphandle noma ukusiza omakadebona ukuthi bazivuselele. Njengamanje kunenja eyodwa kuwo wonke amasosha amathathu e-Afghanistan. Lezi zinja ziya ngokuya zidingeka futhi ngaleyo ndlela izinsiza ezibizayo. Inja enekhala elikhule kahle ibiza cishe u-$25,000!
Inja Yezempi Eqeqeshwe Ngokugcwele
Kungakho iPentagon manje isisebenzela ukuthola ezinye zalezi zinja ekhaya ngemva kwenkonzo yazo. Lokhu kusho nokuthi bayawufeza umsebenzi wabo futhi abagoduki ngaphambi kwesikhathi. Ngenxa yalokhu, amasosha ase-US athenge izinja zamarobhothi ezingaba ngu-80 ukusiza odokotela nodokotela bezilwane ukuqeqesha ukunakekela izinja ezilimele.
Inja yezempi eqeqeshwe ngokugcwele ibiza imali elingana ne-missile encane. Isifiso siwukugcina izinja eziqeqeshwe ngokugcwele zingaphandle ensimini, ziphilile futhi ziphilile. Isikhathi eside ngangokunokwenzeka.
Kuyabiza Lapho Inja Yezempi Ibulawa
Inkosi yazi kahle kamhlophe ukuthi kubiza kangakanani lapho kubulawa inja yempi. Ingasaphathwa eyalimala i-troop morale, u-Bob Bryant, umsunguli we-Mission K9 Rescue, wachaza, inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ezinze e-Houston esiza ekubuyiseleni izimilo nokutholela amakhaya izinja zezempi esele zithatha umhlalaphansi.
“Amasosha aphatha izinja zawo njengegolide,” echaza. Njengoba sebefunde ngokugcwele, balindele ukuba wusizo kubo okungenani iminyaka eyisishiyagalombili noma eyisishiyagalolunye.
Kodwa akuwona umsebenzi olula. Ezinjeni ezabuyela emakhaya ngemva kokukhonza ebuthweni, ezingamaphesenti angu-60 zayeka inkonzo yazo ngoba zazilimele. Hhayi ngoba base bebadala kakhulu. Ucaphuna elinye iqiniso elidabukisayo ngesikhathi kufa izinja empini: “Lapho ingozi yehlela inja, nomphathi wezinja ngokuvamile uyafa.”
