در ٢٠١١، نيروهاى ارتش آمريكاهنوز ممنوعيت حضور زنان در نبرد را داشتند، اما در آن سال، تيم ويژه عملياتى از زنان به افغانستان فرستاده شد تا در خطوط مقدم خدمت كنند، براى ايجاد رابطه دوستانهبا محليها و تلاش براى كمك به پايان رساندن جنگ. گيل تزماك لمن خبرنگار داستان اين "گروه از خواهران" را ميگويد، گروه استثنايى از زنان كه سد بلند و قديمى مانع خدمت كردن را شكستند.

در هر گروه دوستان زنانه هميشه يكى هست كه بامزه است،

the one you go to

the one who tells you to suck it up
when you've had a hard day.
when you've had a hard day.

و کسی گروهی که هنگام دشواریها، کمکت کند تا از آنان استقبال کنی
00:22
And this group was no different.
3
10841
1952
و این گروه هم فرقی نمیکرد.
00:25
Except that this was a community
of groundbreaking women
of groundbreaking women
4
13524
3655
جز این که مجموعهای بود از زنان ساختارشکن
00:29
who came together --
5
17203
1277
که دور هم جمع شدند--
00:30
first to become teammates,
then friends, and then family --
then friends, and then family --
6
18480
3499
تا اول هم تیمی باشند و بعد دوست و آخر سر خانواده--
00:34
in the least likely of places:
7
22003
2521
در سختترین جاهای ممکن:
00:36
on the Special Operations battlefield.
8
24548
2353
در میدان نبرد عملیاتهای ویژه.
00:39
This was a group of women
whose friendship and valor was cemented
whose friendship and valor was cemented
9
27765
3237
اینها گروهی از زنان بودند که دوستی و تهور را پیوند دادند،
00:43
not only by what they had seen
and done at the tip of the spear,
and done at the tip of the spear,
10
31026
4458
نه تنها بواسطه آنچه در قلب خطر دیده و انجام داده بودند،
00:47
but by the fact that they were there
11
35508
1971
اما بواسطه این حقیقت که آنها آنجا بودند
00:49
at a time when women --
officially, at least --
officially, at least --
12
37503
2518
در زمانی که زنها-- حداقل بطور رسمی--
00:52
remained banned from ground combat,
13
40045
2535
با منع حضور در میدان نبرد روبرو بودند،
00:54
and America had no idea they existed.
14
42604
3705
و آمریکا نمی دانست که حتی چنین زنانی وجود دارند.
00:59
This story begins
with Special Operations leaders,
with Special Operations leaders,
15
47546
2862
این داستان با رهبران عملیاتهای ویژه آغاز میشود،
01:02
some of the most tested men
in the United States military, saying,
in the United States military, saying,
16
50432
3577
برخی از مردان سخت آزموده در ارتش آمریکا می گویند:
01:06
"We need women to help us wage this war."
17
54033
3335
" در این جنگ به زنان برای کمک کردن به ما در جنگیدن نیاز داریم.:
01:10
"America would never kill its way
to the end of its wars," it argued.
to the end of its wars," it argued.
18
58358
3389
با این استدلال که " آمریکا قادر به خاتمه رساندن این جنگ نخواهد بود
01:13
"Needed more knowledge
and more understanding."
and more understanding."
19
61771
2660
چون دانش و درک بیشتری لازم است."
01:16
And as everyone knows,
20
64763
1456
و همانطور که همه مطلع هستید،
01:18
if you want to understand what's happening
in a community and in a home,
in a community and in a home,
21
66243
3547
برای این که بدانید چه اتفاقاتی در جامعه و خانواده میافتد،
01:21
you talk to women,
22
69814
1573
باید یا زنها صحبت کنید،
01:23
whether you're talking about
Southern Afghanistan,
Southern Afghanistan,
23
71411
2690
خواه درباره جنوب افغانستان حرف بزنیم
01:26
or Southern California.
24
74125
1715
یا کالیفرنیای جنوبی.
01:28
But in this case,
men could not talk to women,
men could not talk to women,
25
76558
2572
اما در این مورد، مردها نمیتوانستند با زنها صحبت کنند،
01:31
because in a conservative
and traditional society like Afghanistan,
and traditional society like Afghanistan,
26
79154
3399
چون در جامعه محافظهکار و سنتی مثل افغانستان،
01:34
that would cause grave offense.
27
82577
2208
منجر به توهینی جدی میشد.
01:36
So you needed women soldiers out there.
28
84809
2182
پس به زنان سرباز در آنجا نیاز داشتید.
01:41
That meant, at this time in the war,
that the women who would be recruited
that the women who would be recruited
29
89045
3973
به این معنا که در این برهه از جنگ، زنانی استخدام میشدند
01:45
to serve alongside Army Rangers
and Navy SEALs,
and Navy SEALs,
30
93042
2863
که همپای ارتش رنجرها و یگان ویژه نیروی دریایی خدمت کرده
01:47
would be seeing the kind of combat
experienced by less than five percent
experienced by less than five percent
31
95929
4460
و شاهد نوعی از نبرد باشند که تنها کمتر از پنج درصد کل ارتش ایالات متحده
01:52
of the entire United States military.
32
100413
2344
آن را تجربه کرده بود.
01:55
Less than five percent.
33
103579
1680
کمتر از پنج درصد.
01:58
So the call went out.
34
106587
1534
پس فرخوان اعلام شد.
02:00
"Female soldiers:
Become a part of history.
Become a part of history.
35
108145
2411
"سربازان زن: بخشی از تاریخ باشید.
02:02
Join Special Operations
on the battlefield in Afghanistan."
on the battlefield in Afghanistan."
36
110580
4123
به عملیاتهای ویژه در میدان نبرد افغانستان محلق شوید."
02:06
This is in 2011.
37
114727
1774
سال ۲۰۱۱ است.
02:08
And from Alabama to Alaska,
38
116525
2189
و از آلاباما تا آلاسکا،
02:10
a group of women who had always
wanted to do something that mattered
wanted to do something that mattered
39
118738
3933
گروهی از زنان که همیشه خواسته بودند همراه با بهترین بهترینها
02:14
alongside the best of the best,
40
122695
1978
کار با اهمیتی را انجام دهند،
02:16
and to make a difference
for their country,
for their country,
41
124697
2253
و برای کشورشان تاثیر گذار باشند،
02:18
answered that call to serve.
42
126974
1985
به آن فراخوان به خدمت پاسخ دادند.
02:22
And for them it was not about politics,
it was about serving with purpose.
it was about serving with purpose.
43
130294
5632
و برای آنها دلیل سیاسی نداشت، تماما به منظور خدمت بود.
02:28
And so, the women who came
to North Carolina
to North Carolina
44
136858
2458
و همینطور زنانی که به کارولینای شمالی آمدند
02:31
to compete for a spot on these teams
45
139340
2703
تا برای جایگاهی در آن تیمها رقابت کنند
02:34
which would put women
on the Special Operations front lines,
on the Special Operations front lines,
46
142067
3197
جاییکه زنان را در خطوط مقدم عملیتهای ویژه قرار میداد،
02:37
landed and found
very quickly a community,
very quickly a community,
47
145288
3371
بعد از آمدن به آنجا خیلی سریع با جامعهای مواجه شدند
02:40
the likes of which they had never seen.
48
148659
2621
که مشابهاش را قبلا ندیده بودند.
02:43
Full of women who were as fierce
and as fit as they were,
and as fit as they were,
49
151304
3568
پر از زنانی خشن و در عین حال خوش هیکل
02:46
and as driven to make a difference.
50
154896
1782
و پرانگیزه برای ایجاد تغییر.
02:49
They didn't have to apologize
for who they were,
for who they were,
51
157128
2439
نباید بخاطر آنچه بودند عذرخواهی کنند،
02:51
and in fact, they could celebrate it.
52
159591
2000
و در واقع میتوانستند آن را جشن بگیرند.
02:54
And what they found when they were there
was that all of a sudden,
was that all of a sudden,
53
162589
4117
و آنچه وقتی آنجا بودند پیدا کردند مثل این بود که یکباره،
02:58
there were lots of people like them.
54
166706
2037
یک عالم آدم مثل آنها هست،
03:01
As one of them said,
55
169501
1365
همانطور که یکی از آنها گفته بود،
03:02
"It was like you looked
around and realized
around and realized
56
170890
2046
" مثل این که به اطرافتان نگاه کنید و متوجه شوید که
03:04
there was more
than one giraffe at the zoo."
than one giraffe at the zoo."
57
172960
2240
که بیش از یک زرافه در باغ وحش وجود دارد."
03:09
Among this team of standouts was Cassie,
58
177212
2717
در میان این تیم برجسته "کیسی" بود،
03:11
a young woman who managed to be
an ROTC cadet, a sorority sister
an ROTC cadet, a sorority sister
59
179953
4470
زنی جوان که توانسته بود کارآموز دانشکده آموزش نیروهای ذخیره، عضو انجمن خواهران
03:16
and a Women's Studies minor,
all in one person.
all in one person.
60
184447
2628
و دانشجوی رشته فرعی مطالعات زنان بطور هم زمان باشد.
03:20
Tristan, a West Point track star,
who always ran and road marched
who always ran and road marched
61
188385
4586
تریستان، قهرمان دو وست پوینت،همیشه موقع دو و مارش رفتن در جاده
03:24
with no socks,
62
192995
1237
بدون جوراب بود،
03:26
and had shoes whose smell proved it.
63
194256
2150
و كفشهايى داشت كه بويشان آن را ثابت ميكرد.
03:28
(Laughter)
64
196430
1443
(خنده)
03:29
Amber, a Heidi look-alike, who had
always wanted to be in the infantry,
always wanted to be in the infantry,
65
197897
3974
امبر،با قيافه شبیه هايدى (شخصیت داستانی معروف) هميشه میخواست در پیاده نظام كار كند،
03:33
and when she found out
that women couldn't be,
that women couldn't be,
66
201895
2476
و و قتى فهميد كه زنها نمى توانند آنجا کار کنند،
03:36
she decided to become an intel officer.
67
204395
2646
تصميم گرفت يك افسر سازمان جاسوسى شود.
03:39
She served in Bosnia,
68
207626
1230
در بوسنى خدمت كرد،
03:40
and later helped the FBI
to bust drug gangs in Pennsylvania.
to bust drug gangs in Pennsylvania.
69
208880
3565
و بعد به اف بى آى كمك كرد تا گروههاى مواد را در پنسيلوانيا به دام بياندازند،
03:44
And then there was Kate,
who played high school football
who played high school football
70
212979
3479
و بعد كيت بود كه چهار سال تمام در تيم فوتبال
03:48
all four years,
71
216482
1212
دبيرستان بازى کرد،
03:49
and actually wanted to drop out
after the first,
after the first,
72
217718
2582
وقصد داشت آن را رها کند و
03:52
to go into the glee club,
73
220324
1477
به انجمن سرود برود،
03:53
but when boys told her
that girls couldn't play football,
that girls couldn't play football,
74
221825
2883
اما وقتى پسرها به او گفتند كه دخترها نمى توانند فوتبال بازى كنند،
03:56
she decided to stay
75
224732
1257
تصميم به ادامه فوتبال گرفت
03:58
for all the little girls
who would come after her.
who would come after her.
76
226013
2790
بخاطر همه دختران كوچكى كه بعد از او ميامدند.
04:02
For them, biology had shaped
part of their destiny,
part of their destiny,
77
230268
2681
براى آنها، بيولوژى بخشى از سرنوشتشان را شكل داده بود،
04:04
and put, as Cassie once said,
78
232973
2082
و همانطور كه كيسى يكبار گفت،
04:07
"everything noble
out of reach for girls."
out of reach for girls."
79
235079
2492
"هر چیز با عظمتى خارج از دست دخترها بود."
04:10
And yet, here was a chance
to serve with the best of the best
to serve with the best of the best
80
238353
3296
و هنوز، اينجا احتمال همخدمتى با بهترين بهترينها در ماموريتى
04:13
on a mission that mattered
to their country,
to their country,
81
241673
2060
وجود داشت كه براى كشورشان اهميت داشت.
04:15
not despite the fact
that they were female,
that they were female,
82
243757
2675
نه به خاطر اینکه، زن بودند
04:18
but because of it.
83
246456
1383
بلكه صرفا بخاطر آن.
04:20
This team of women, in many ways,
was like women everywhere.
was like women everywhere.
84
248769
3967
اين تيم زنان، در بسيارى جهات، مثل زنان جاهاى ديگر بود.
04:24
They wore makeup, and in fact,
85
252760
1571
آرايش مى كردند
04:26
they would bond in the ladies' room
over eyeliner and eye pencil.
over eyeliner and eye pencil.
86
254355
3445
و در دستشويي با استفاده شريكی خط چشم و مداد چشم روابطشان را قوى مى كردند.
04:30
They also wore body armor.
87
258531
1635
ضدگلوله نیز ميپوشيدند.
04:32
They would put 50 pounds
of weight on their backs,
of weight on their backs,
88
260543
2388
بار ۲۲/۵ کیلویی روی پشتشان میگذاشتند
04:34
and board the helicopter for an operation,
89
262955
2026
و برای عملیات سوار هلی کوپتر میشدند،
04:37
and they would come back and watch
a movie called "Bridesmaids."
a movie called "Bridesmaids."
90
265005
3032
و بعد که برمیگشتند با هم فیلم ساقدوشها را تماشا میکردند.
04:40
(Laughter)
91
268061
1851
(خنده)
04:41
They even wore a thing called Spanx,
92
269936
2709
حتی چیزی را پوشیدند که اسپنکس نام داشت،
04:44
because, as they found very quickly,
93
272669
1940
چون خیلی سریع پی بردند،
04:46
the uniforms made for men were
big where they should be small,
big where they should be small,
94
274633
3892
یونیفورمها برای مردها دوخته شده بود در جایی که باید بزرگ باشند کوچک
04:50
and small where they should be big.
95
278549
2050
و در جایی که کوچک، بزرگ هستند.
04:52
So Lane, an Iraq War veteran --
you see her here on my left --
you see her here on my left --
96
280623
3537
پس لین، یک جنگ آزموده در جنگ عراق-- که در سمت چپم او ا میبینید--
04:56
decided she was going to go on Amazon
97
284184
2056
تصمیم گرفت از طریق سایت آمازون دست بکار شود
04:58
and order a pair of Spanx to her base,
98
286264
2119
یک جفت گن مارک اسپنکس به آدرس پایگاهش سفارش دهد،
05:00
so that her pants would fit better
when she went out on mission each night.
when she went out on mission each night.
99
288407
3752
تا شبها که به ماموریت میرفت شلوارش راحتتر تنش شود.
05:04
These women would get together
over video conference
over video conference
100
292822
2425
زنها از طریق کنفرانس ویدئویی به هم محلق شدند
05:07
from all around Afghanistan
from their various bases,
from their various bases,
101
295247
2481
از سراسر افغانستان و پایگاههای مختلف.
05:09
and they would talk about what it was like
102
297728
2008
و آنها درباره حس این که تنها یکی از زنانی باشی
05:11
to be one of the only women
doing what they were doing.
doing what they were doing.
103
299760
2651
که کاری که آنها می کنند را انجامدهی صحبت میکردند.
05:14
They would swap jokes,
104
302435
1177
با هم جک می گفتند
05:15
they would talk about
what was working, what wasn't,
what was working, what wasn't,
105
303636
2452
درباه چیزهایی که کار میکرد و کار نمیکرد، آنچه نبود،
05:18
what they had learned to do well,
what they needed to do better.
what they needed to do better.
106
306112
3047
آنچه یاد گرفته بودند بخوبی انجام دهند، آنچه لازم بود بهتر انجام دهند.
05:21
And they would talk about
some of the lighter moments of being women
some of the lighter moments of being women
107
309183
3423
و درباره لحظات خوش زن بودن
05:24
out on the Special Operations front lines,
108
312630
2492
در عملیاتهای ویژه خطوط مقدم صحبت میکنند،
05:27
including the Shewee,
109
315146
1365
از جمله شیوی،
05:28
which was a tool
that let you pee like a guy,
that let you pee like a guy,
110
316535
2315
که ابزاری بود به شما اجازه میداد مثل مردها ادرار کنید
05:30
although it's said to have had only
a 40 percent accuracy rate out there.
a 40 percent accuracy rate out there.
111
318874
4428
که هرچند گفته میشود تنها ۴۰ درصد نرخ دقت آن بوده.
05:35
(Laughter)
112
323326
3091
(خنده)
05:38
These women lived in the "and."
113
326441
2000
آنها در دنیای "و" زندگی میکنند.
05:41
They proved you could be fierce
and you could be feminine.
and you could be feminine.
114
329139
3162
ثابت کردند که میتوان خشن بود و و همینطور زنانه.
05:44
You could wear mascara and body armor.
115
332325
2872
میتوانید هم ریمل بزنید و هم ضدگلوله بپوشید.
05:47
You could love CrossFit,
and really like cross-stitch.
and really like cross-stitch.
116
335221
4056
میتوانید عاشق کراس فیت(کمپانی زیبایی اندام) باشید و بخیه ضربدری زدن را هم دوست داشته باشید.
05:51
You could love to climb out of helicopters
and you could also love to bake cookies.
and you could also love to bake cookies.
117
339301
4758
میتوانید عاشق بیرون پریدن از هلیکوپتر باشید و همینطور عاشق کلوچه پختن.
05:56
Women live in the and every single day,
118
344578
3429
زنها هر روز خدا با این "و" زندگی میکنند،
06:00
and these women brought that
to this mission as well.
to this mission as well.
119
348031
3049
و این زنها آن را با خود به ماموریتهایشان میاورند.
06:04
On this life and death battlefield
they never forgot
they never forgot
120
352547
2609
در این میدان نبرد مرگ و زندگی، هرگز فراموش نمیکنند
06:07
that being female may have brought them
to the front lines,
to the front lines,
121
355466
3091
که زن بودن شاید آنها را به خطوط مقدم آورده باشد،
06:10
but being a soldier is what would
prove themselves there.
prove themselves there.
122
358581
2777
اما سرباز بودن چیزی است که آنجا برای اثبات خویش نیاز دارند.
06:14
There was the night Amber went
out on mission,
out on mission,
123
362272
2164
یک شب امبر برای ماموریت بیرون رفت
06:16
and in talking to the women of the house,
124
364460
1970
و در حین صحبت با زنان همه خانهاش
06:18
realized that there was
a barricaded shooter lying in wait
a barricaded shooter lying in wait
125
366454
2825
فهمید که تیرانداز سنگر گرفتهای آن بیرون
06:21
for the Afghan and American forces
who were waiting to enter the home.
who were waiting to enter the home.
126
369303
3532
در کمین نیروهای افغان و آمریکایی نشسته و منتظر ورودشان به خانه است.
06:25
Another night it was Tristan
who found out
who found out
127
373418
2795
یک شب هم این تریستان بود که فهمید
06:28
that there were pieces
that make up explosives
that make up explosives
128
376237
2164
که دور تا دور خانهای که در آن میماندند
06:30
all around the house
in which they were standing,
in which they were standing,
129
378425
2297
تکههای بود که مواد منفجره را تشکیل میداد
06:32
and that in fact, explosives lay
all the way between there
all the way between there
130
380746
2779
و در حقیقت، این مواد منفجره در تمام مسیر آنجا
06:35
and where they were
about to head that night.
about to head that night.
131
383549
2488
و جایی بود که آن شب قرار رفتن به آنجا را داشتند.
06:38
There was the night another one
of their teammates proved herself
of their teammates proved herself
132
386061
3071
شبی هم بود که یکی از هم تیمیهای آنها خودش را به
06:41
to a decidedly skeptical team of SEALs,
133
389156
2467
یک گروه تعمدا بدبینی از یگان فوق ویژه نیروی دریایی ایالات متحده آمریکا ثابت کرد،
06:43
when she found the intel item
they were looking for
they were looking for
134
391647
2396
زمانی که وسیله جاسوسی که آنها دنبالش بودند
06:46
wrapped up in a baby's wet diaper.
135
394067
2262
را کاغذ پیچ شده توی پوشک خیس نوزادی پیدا کرد.
06:49
And there was the night that Isabel,
another one of their teammates,
another one of their teammates,
136
397309
3237
و شبی هم ایزابل یکی دیگر از هم تیمیهایشان
06:52
found the things
that they were looking for,
that they were looking for,
137
400570
2098
چیزهایی را یافت که به دنبالش بودند،
06:54
and received an Impact Award
from the Rangers
from the Rangers
138
402692
2116
و نشان ایمپکت را از رنجرها دریافت کرد،
06:56
who said that without her,
139
404832
1726
که گفتند بدون او
06:58
the things and the people
they were looking for that night
they were looking for that night
140
406582
2754
آن آدمها و چیزهایی که آن شب دنبالش بودند را
07:01
would never have been found.
141
409360
1424
هرگز پیدا نمیکردند.
07:03
That night and so many others,
142
411553
1828
آن شب و دفعات بسیار دیگر
07:05
they went out to prove themselves,
not only for one another,
not only for one another,
143
413405
3113
آنها بیرون زدند تا خودشان ر ا ثابت کنند، نه فقط بخاطر همدیگر
07:08
but for everybody
who would come after them.
who would come after them.
144
416520
2292
بلکه همه کسانی که بعد از آنها میامدند.
07:11
And also for the men
alongside whom they served.
alongside whom they served.
145
419519
2787
و همچنین برای مردانی در کنارشان خدمت کردهاند.
07:15
We talk a lot about how
behind every great man is a good woman.
behind every great man is a good woman.
146
423209
4739
خیلی درباره این که پشت سر هر مرد موفقی زن خوبی هست حرف میزنیم.
07:20
And in this case,
147
428354
1157
و در این مورد،
07:21
next to these women stood men
who wanted to see them succeed.
who wanted to see them succeed.
148
429535
3238
در کنار این زنان مردانی ایستادند که خواستار موفقیت آنان بودند.
07:25
The Army Ranger who trained them
had served 12 deployments.
had served 12 deployments.
149
433666
3148
رنجر نظامی که به آنها آموزش داد در ۱۲ صف آرایی خدمت کرده بود.
07:29
And when they told him
that he had to go train girls,
that he had to go train girls,
150
437406
2994
وقتی به او گفتند که باید برای آموزش دخترها برود،
07:32
he had no idea what to expect.
151
440424
2352
هیچ ایدهای از آنچه منتظرش بود نداشت.
07:35
But at the end of eight days with these
women in the summer of 2011,
women in the summer of 2011,
152
443361
4330
اما در پایان هشت روز کار با این زنها در تابستان ۲۰۱۱
07:39
he told his fellow Ranger,
"We have just witnessed history.
"We have just witnessed history.
153
447715
4421
به همکار رنجر دیگرش گفت، "ما شاهد موقعیتی تاریخی بودهایم.
07:44
These may well be
our own Tuskegee Airmen."
our own Tuskegee Airmen."
154
452160
2624
اینها شاید چیزی مثل هوانوردان تاسکیجی خودمان باشند."
07:49
(Applause)
155
457666
6336
(تشویق)
07:56
At the heart of this team
was the one person
was the one person
156
464390
2626
در قلب تیم، شخصی بود
07:59
who everyone called "the best of us."
157
467040
2148
که همه او را "بهترین ما" مینامیدند.
08:01
She was a petite blonde dynamo,
158
469675
2465
زن ریزجثه مو بلوند پرجنب و جوش،
08:04
who barely reached five-foot-three.
159
472164
2064
که به زور قدش به ۱۶۰ سانتیمتر میرسید.
08:06
And she was this wild mix
of Martha Stewart,
of Martha Stewart,
160
474772
3131
و ترکیب وحشیانهای از مارتا استوارت
08:09
and what we know as G.I. Jane.
161
477927
2000
و کسی بود که با نام جی.آِی. جین میشناسیم.
08:12
She was someone who loved
to make dinner for her husband,
to make dinner for her husband,
162
480665
2824
کسی که عاشق شام درست کردن برای شوهرش شود
08:15
her Kent State ROTC sweetheart
who pushed her to be her best,
who pushed her to be her best,
163
483513
4103
عزیزدلش از افسران آموزش نیروهای ذخیره دانشگاه دولتی کنت بود که او را به سمت بهترین بودن و اعتماد داشتن
08:19
and to trust herself,
164
487640
1329
بخودش سوق میداد،
08:20
and to test every limit she could.
165
488993
2230
و این که هر محدودیتی را که میتوانست بیازماید.
08:23
She also loved to put 50 pounds of weight
on her back and run for miles,
on her back and run for miles,
166
491944
4170
همینطور دوست داشت که ۲۲/۵ کیلو بار را بر دوشش کیلومترها حمل نماید
08:28
and she loved to be a soldier.
167
496138
1921
و عاشق این بود که سرباز باشد.
08:31
She was somebody who had a bread maker
in her office in Kandahar,
in her office in Kandahar,
168
499080
3234
کسی بود که در اتاق کارش در قندهار، دستگاه نان پز داشت،
08:34
and would bake a batch of raisin bread,
and then go to the gym
and then go to the gym
169
502338
2932
و اول نان کشمشی میپخت و بعد باشگاه ورزشی میرفت
08:37
and bust out 25 or 30 pull-ups
from a dead hang.
from a dead hang.
170
505294
2791
و در حدود ۲۵ یا ۳۰ بار بارفیکس میرفت.
08:41
She was the person who, if you needed
an extra pair of boots
an extra pair of boots
171
509092
2901
کسی بود که اگر به جفتی پوتین اضافی نیاز داشتید
08:44
or a home-cooked dinner,
would be on your speed dial.
would be on your speed dial.
172
512017
2955
یا که شام خانگی، اسمش روی شماره گیر سریع تلفنتان ثبت بود.
08:47
Because she never, ever would talk to you
173
515404
2238
زیرا هرگز کسی نبود که برایتان از
08:49
about how good she was,
174
517666
1151
خوب بودنش بگوید،
08:50
but let her character speak
through action.
through action.
175
518841
2208
اما اعمالش گواه شخصیتش میشد.
08:54
She was famous for taking the hard right
over the easy wrong.
over the easy wrong.
176
522450
5636
به این معروف بود که راست سخت را به اشتباه آسان ترجیح میداد.
09:00
And she was also famous
for walking up to a 15-foot rope,
for walking up to a 15-foot rope,
177
528487
3390
و همینطور به این معروف بود که برای بالا رفتن از یک طناب 4.5متری،
09:03
climbing it using only her arms,
178
531901
2160
تنها از دستهایش استفاده کرده بود
09:06
and then shuffling away and apologizing,
179
534085
2001
و بعد این پا و آن پا کرده و عذر خواسته بود،
09:08
because she knew she was supposed
to use both her arms and her legs,
to use both her arms and her legs,
180
536110
3390
چون میدانست که قرار بوده هم از دستها و هم از پاهایش استفاده کند،
09:11
as the Rangers had trained them.
181
539524
1697
همانطور که رنجرها به او آموزش داده بودند.
09:13
(Laughter)
182
541245
1876
(خنده)
09:15
Some of our heroes return home
to tell their stories.
to tell their stories.
183
543145
3303
برخی از قهرمانان ما بخانه برمیگردند تا داستانشان را بازگو کنند.
09:19
And some of them don't.
184
547346
1612
و برخی هم نه.
09:21
And on October 22, 2011,
185
549958
2545
و در ۲۲ اکتبر ۲۰۱۱
09:24
First Lieutenant Ashley White was killed
alongside two Rangers,
alongside two Rangers,
186
552527
3568
اشلی وایت، ستوان یکم همراه با دو رنجر دیگر کشته شد،
09:28
Christopher Horns
187
556119
1355
کریستفر هورنز
09:29
and Kristoffer Domeij.
188
557498
1356
و کریسفر دومجی.
09:31
Her death threw this program built
for the shadows
for the shadows
189
559998
3249
مرگ او، برنامه ساخته شده برای سایهها
09:35
into a very public spotlight.
190
563271
2027
را کانون توجه عمومی قرار داد.
09:37
Because after all,
191
565322
1153
چون با این همه
09:38
the ban on women in combat
was still very much in place.
was still very much in place.
192
566499
3167
ممنوعیت حضور زنان در نبرد هنوز بسیار داغ بود.
09:42
And at her funeral,
193
570856
1414
و در تشیع جنازهاش،
09:44
the head of Army Special Operations came,
and gave a public testimony
and gave a public testimony
194
572294
4428
سرپرست عملیات ویژه ارتش آمد و سخنرانی عمومی او
09:48
not just to the courage of Ashley White,
195
576722
2215
شهادتی بود نه تنها بر رشادت اشلی وایت،
09:50
but to all her team of sisters.
196
578961
2000
بلکه کل تیم خواهرانش.
09:53
"Make no mistake about it," he said,
"these women are warriors,
"these women are warriors,
197
581746
4428
"در این باره اشتباه نکنید،" او گفت، " این زنها جنگجو هستند،
09:58
and they have written a new chapter
in what it means to be a female
in what it means to be a female
198
586198
3316
و فصل تازهای را در باب معنای زن بودن در ارتش
10:01
in the United States Army."
199
589538
1918
ایالات متحد نوشتهاند."
10:04
Ashley's mom is a teacher's aide
and a school bus driver,
and a school bus driver,
200
592989
3678
مادر اشلی همیار مدرسه و راننده سرویس مدرسه است
10:08
who bakes cookies on the side.
201
596691
1904
و در کنارش کلوچه هم میپزد.
10:11
She doesn't remember much
about that overwhelming set of days,
about that overwhelming set of days,
202
599340
3182
خیلی از آنها روزها بجز فشار بی پایان به خاطر نمیاورد،
10:14
in which grief -- enormous grief --
203
602546
2769
که در آن اندوه- اندوهی عظیم-
10:17
mixed with pride.
204
605339
1283
با افتخار ترکیب شده بود.
10:19
But she does remember one moment.
205
607359
2000
اما یک لحظه را بخاطر دارد.
10:21
A stranger with a child
in her hand came up to her
in her hand came up to her
206
609913
3406
غریبهای که دست کودکی را نگه داشته بود نزد وی آمد
10:25
and she said, "Mrs. White,
207
613343
2682
و گفت، " خانم وایت،
10:28
I brought my daughter here today,
208
616049
2298
امروز دخترم را اینجا آوردم
10:30
because I wanted her to know
what a hero was.
what a hero was.
209
618371
2689
چون میخواستم بداند که او چه قهرمانی بود.
10:34
And I wanted her to know
that heroes could be women, too."
that heroes could be women, too."
210
622490
4024
و میخواستم همینطور بداند که قهرمانان هم میتوانند زن باشند."
10:39
It is time to celebrate
all the unsung heroines
all the unsung heroines
211
627749
3614
زمان گرامیداشت همه قهرمان زن ناشناختهایست
10:43
who reach into their guts
212
631387
1749
که شهامت یافتهاند
10:45
and find the heart and the grit
to keep going and to test every limit.
to keep going and to test every limit.
213
633136
4241
و دل و جرات ادامه دادن و آزمودن هر محدودیتی را میابند.
10:50
This very unlikely band of sisters
bound forever in life and afterward
bound forever in life and afterward
214
638100
5720
این گروه غیرعادی خواهران برای همیشه در این زندگی و بعد از آن
10:55
did indeed become part of history,
215
643844
2322
به راستی قسمتی از تاریخ شدند،
10:58
and they paved the way for so many
who would come after them,
who would come after them,
216
646190
3131
و مسیر را برای بسیاری که بعد از آنها خواهند آمد، هموار کردند،
11:01
as much as they stood on the shoulders
of those who had come before.
of those who had come before.
217
649345
4230
همانطور که آنها بر شانههای کسانی ایستادند که قبل از آنها آمده بودند.
11:06
These women showed that warriors come
in all shapes and sizes.
in all shapes and sizes.
218
654303
4145
این زنها نشان دادند که جنگجوها در همه اشکال و سایزها یافت میشوند.
11:11
And women can be heroes, too.
219
659454
2300
و زنها هم میتوانند قهرمان باشند.
11:14
Thank you so much.
220
662648
1152
بسیار از شما متشکرم.
11:15

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon - ReporterGayle Tzemach Lemmon writes about women around the world living their lives at war and in conflict zones.
Why you should listen
Gayle Tzemach Lemmon never set out to write about women entrepreneurs. After leaving ABC News for MBA study at Harvard, she was simply looking for a great -- and underreported -- economics story. What she found was women entrepreneurs in some of the toughest business environments creating jobs against daunting obstacles. Since then her writing on entrepreneurship has been published by the International Herald Tribune and Financial Times along with the World Bank and the International Finance Corporation.
Now a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, Lemmon continues to travel the world reporting on economic and development issues with a focus on women. She is the author of Ashley's War: The Untold Story of a Team of Women Soldiers on the Special Ops Battlefield (2014), as well as the best seller The Dressmaker of Khair Khana (2011) about a young entrepreneur who supported her community under the Taliban.
