Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Ka tata, ka nui rawa te ngako o Amerika ki te whawhai. Me wareware ki te mate huka, ki ngā mate ngakau, ki ngā mate hononga - ko te hua tino whakamataku e puta mai ana i tō tātou pakanga kua hinga ki te porohita, ko te haumaru o tō tātou whenua. I roto i ngā tau e rima, he tokomaha nga taiohi o Amerika e tino taumaha rawa ana, e kore e taea e te ope taua te kimi i te tokomaha o nga hoia whai tohu. Ko taua matapae whakamataku i ahu mai i a Maj. Gen. Allen Batschelet, e tohutohu ana i te U.S. Army Recruiting Command. I ki mai ia ki ahau, "kei te noho te mate taimaha hei take mō te haumarutanga o te motu". I tino ohorere ahau ki te korero a Batschelet i whakaaro ai ahau me akiaki ia ia. Haere mai rā! He mate taimaha? He raru haumarutanga ā-motu? Kāore te Tiamana i ngingio. "Ki taku whakaaro, ae". Mai i te 195,000 tāne me ngā wāhine taitamariki i haina ki te whawhai mō tō tātou whenua, 72,000 anake i āhei. Kāore ētahi i eke mai nā te mea he hītori hara ō rātau, he kore mātauranga, he maha rawa rānei o rātau moko. Engari he 10% tonu i kore i whai tohu nā te mea he taumaha rawa rātau. I mua i to whakapae i ahau mo te whakamiharo, ko te 10% te mea e tino awangawanga ana ki a General Batschelet. "Ko te take o te mate taimaha te mea tino raruraru no te mea kei te haere te ahua ki te huarahi kino", ko tana korero. "E whakaaro ana mātau i te tau 2020 ka eke pea ki te 50%, arā, e rua anake i roto i te 10 ka āhei ki te uru atu ki te ope taua". Ka mutu tana korero. "He tohu pouri tēnei ki a tātou i tēnei wā hei hapori". He tino raruraru te raruraru mō te ope taua, nā reira kua noho ngā kaiako whakangungu hei kaiako tinana, pēnei i ngā kaiako i runga i te whakaaturanga NBC, "The Biggest Loser". Ae, ko ō moni tāke e utu ana i ngā kaituku hōia kia tākaro i a Dolvett Quince, i a Jillian Michaels rānei hei whiu i ngā kaituku hōia ki te tūmanako ka taea e rātau te kai totika me te mahi tinana kia riro ai rātau hei kaituku hōia tūturu. Mēnā ka ngaro i a rātou te taumaha, ka tukuna rātau ki te puni whakangungu. Ko ētahi e ora ana; ko te tokomaha e kore. Engari, i ki mai a Hupirimi Batschelet me whakamatau te ope taua. "Ko mātou te kaiārahi matua mō te whanaketanga whaiaro i te ao", ko tana kī mai ki ahau. E hiahia ana mātou kia tipu koe, kia noho hei kaiārahi. He kaha nui tēnei ki tō tātou ope taua". Engari kaore i whakaarohia e te ope taua te momo...
I roto i ngā tau torutoru, e kore e taea e te hōia te kimi i ngā hōia tino pai nā te raruraru o te mate taikaha o Amerika. Carol Costello: He take nui tō mātou haumarutanga ā-motu kei te ringa, engari kei roto i tō mātou mana mēnā ka taea e mātou te whakaae.
