good riddance to that dirty general!
Only a complete moron or close friend or relative lang ang magsasabi na hindi siya nagnakaw sa kaban ng bayan. Pati asawa't anak, nakinabang din eh, going by the testimony of witnesses sa senate hearing.
How could he face our poor soldiers in the field, them with rundown boots, crappy helmets and misfiring rifles, and proclaim that he has lived a decent life! Kalokohan! Tangna, nagti-tiyaga yung ordinary foot soldier sa sardinas, samantalang puro steak at caviar ang kinakain ng mga buwayang heneral na yan.
Serves him right. Sablay pa nga yung ending eh. Hindi man lang nag-confess at nagturo kung sino talaga ang ultimate recipient ng mga kickbacks niya. Opted for the coward's way out.
Others were not so fortunate. At least si reyes, nakatikim ng poder at posisyon at hanggang ngayon, mayaman pa rin ang family niya. Some of those who spoke up against military corruption lost a whole lot more.
In my opinion, let's not grieve for this man, he doesn't deserve our mercy. If he thinks his death will temper my rage against those who plundered our nation, then he's dead wrong! (hmmm...i like the pun). One less thief to convict and no more plea bargaining. Makipag-bargain na lang siya kay taning.
