The former president was sentenced to life imprisonment the day before yesterday.

It was a disappointing verdict for many who had expected the death penalty. He still continues to peddle the sophistry that no one died and there were minimal casualties.

His foolish actions have cost countless soldiers their pensions and honor, and their families are still suffering today. Furthermore, he has set back Korean democracy by decades.

If martial law had succeeded, countless people would have died or been injured.

It failed thanks to the courageous resistance of citizens, yet he still insists that he lifted martial law.

I watched the trial live, and after the sentencing, his lawyer criticized the judiciary and made absurd excuses.

Frankly, his crimes are so grave that he doesn't deserve to be defended. If he were to manfully accept full responsibility, he would receive less criticism.

The former president is a disgrace to the Republic of Korea, and such a person should never appear again.

Those who instigated an insurrection must be thoroughly punished to protect everyone's safety and liberal democracy.

As expected, reptiles are weak in winter.

 I picked up a long-tailed snake around September, in the fall. I fed it crickets and raised it well, but it died around December. It was fun to hold and pet, but it's a shame.   When I was serving in the military, I often saw lizards while on guard duty. They were such a welcome companion, helping me to relieve my boredom.
