Chris Cantell Discusses US News: Cicatrici ale razboiului
by Claudia Sonea
Americanii par sa nu se invete minte niciodata. Mereu se baga unde nu le fierbe oala precum in Afganistan sau Irac. Razboiul din Vietnam nu a fost o lectie suficienta; desi generalul Maxwell Taylor i-a sfatuit clar sa se fereasca de astfel de treburi murdare care pot fi periculoase. Razboiul din Vietnam dintre anii 1959 si 1975 cu Republica Demcrata Vietnameza sustinuta de comunisti pe de-o parte si Republica Vietnameza sustinuta de SUA pe de alta. A fost un razboi tragic care s-a incheiat cu pierderea a 1.4 milioane de militari si 2 milioane de civili. SUA a inregistrat 58,209 de morti; 2,000 de disparuti; si 305,000 raniti. Pentru a-i comemora a fost construit la Washington un complex de ziduri de granit mare de 246-foot numit Vietnam Veterans Memorial care contine numele lor. Acest complex e alcatuit din that statuia Three Soldiers, Vietnam Women's Memorial si Vietnam Veterans Memorial si pe 26 Martie s-a sarbatorit cea de-a 26-a aniversare. De obicei americanii merg la Washington pentru a-si exprima condoleantele pe 30 aprilie cand se serbeaza sfarsitul razboiului. Totusi, acum ei au o alternativa datorita colaborarii dintr site-ul de arhie documentare Footnote.com si National Archives si Records Administration. Ca rezultat al mucii lor comune acum exista o varianta virtuala a memorialului faimos ce are inscriptionate numele celor decedati precum si dosarul lor militar. Mai mult, exista posibilitatea de a adauga poze si de a povesti despre veterani. Ceva asemanator a fost conceput in 1996 de veteranul Alan Oskvarek. Era un memorial al razboiului online cu peste 65,000 de povesti si fotografii. Singura problema este cat de potrivit ar fi o astfel de comemorare a celor care au murit pe campul de lupta.
