The U.S. soldier who massacred 16 Afghan civilians last year in one of the worst atrocities of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars was sentenced Friday to life in prison with no chance of parole — the most severe sentence possible, but one that left surviving victims and relatives of the dead deeply unsatisfied.

"We wanted this murderer to be executed," said Hajji Mohammad Wazir, who lost 11 family members in the attack by Staff Sgt. Robert Bales. "We were brought all the way from Afghanistan to see if justice would be served. Not our way — justice was served the American way."

Bales, 40, pleaded guilty in June in a deal to avoid the death penalty for his March 11, 2012, raids near his remote outpost in Kandahar province, when he stalked through mud-walled compounds and shot 22 people — 17 of them women and children. Some screamed for mercy, while others didn't even have a chance to get out of bed.

The soldier showed no emotion as the sentence was announced at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, south of Seattle.

His mother, sitting in the front row of the court, bowed her head, rocked in her seat, and wept.
Villagers in attendance

An interpreter flashed a thumbs-up sign to a row of Afghan villagers who were either wounded or lost family members in the March 11, 2012, attacks.

"I saw his mother trying to cry, but at least she can go visit him," Hajji Mohammad Naim, who was shot in the neck, said after the sentencing. "What about us? Our family members are actually 6 feet under."

The villagers, who traveled nearly 11,265 kilometres to testify against Bales, spoke with reporters and asked through an interpreter what it would be like for someone to break into American homes and slaughter their families.

Bales never offered an explanation for why he armed himself with a 9 mm pistol and an M-4 rifle and left his post on the killing mission, but he apologized on the witness stand Thursday and described the slaughter as an "act of cowardice, behind a mask of fear, bulls--- and bravado."

The six-member jury weighing whether he would be eligible for parole after 20 years took about 90 minutes to decide the case in favor of prosecutors who described Bales as a "man of no moral compass."

"In just a few short hours, Sgt. Bales wiped out generations," Lt. Col. Jay Morse told the jury in his closing argument. "Sgt. Bales dares to ask you for mercy when he has shown none."

A commanding general overseeing the court-martial has the option of reducing the sentence to life with the possibility of parole.

Defence attorney Emma Scanlan argued for the lighter sentence, begging jurors to consider her client's prior life and years of good military service and suggested he snapped under the weight of his fourth combat deployment. She read from a letter Bales sent to his two children 10 weeks before the killing: "The children here are a lot like you. They like to eat candy and play soccer. They all know me because I juggle rocks for them."
U.S. soldier sorry for Afghan massacre, 'cowardice'

"These aren't the words of a cold-blooded murderer," Scanlan said.

She also read from a letter sent by a fellow soldier, a captain who said that Bales seemed to have trouble handling a decade of war and death: "The darkness that had been tugging at him for the last 10 years swallowed him whole."

Prosecutors laying out the case for a life term, argued that Bales' own "stomach-churning" words demonstrated that he knew exactly what he was doing.

"My count is 20," Bales told another soldier when he returned to the base.

Morse displayed a photograph of a girl's bloodied corpse and described how Bales executed her where she should have felt safest — beside her father, who was also slain.

Morse also played a surveillance video of Bales returning to the base after the killings, marching with "the methodical, confident gait of a man who's accomplished his mission."

Bales, an Ohio native who lived in Lake Tapps, Wash., was under personal, financial and professional stress at the time. He had stopped paying the mortgage on one of his houses, was concerned about his wife's spending and hadn't received a promotion he wanted.

"Sgt. Bales commits these barbaric acts because he takes stock of his life," Morse said. "Sgt. Bales thinks the rest of the world is not giving him what he deserves."

The closing arguments came a day after Bales apologized for the attack, saying he'd bring back the victims "in a heartbeat" if he could.

"I'm truly, truly sorry to those people whose families got taken away," he said in a mostly steady voice during questions from one of his lawyers. "I can't comprehend their loss. I think about it every time I look at my kids."

He said he hoped his words would be translated for the nine villagers who traveled from Afghanistan to testify against him — none of whom elected to be in court to hear him testify.

I wish this people know better...the dead has no feeling and yet these people are thinking from front to back. There are better ways they can "immortalize" his name if they so loved him.

Our escape route from any form of bondage is to know the Truth...The holy bible says and I quote "and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."...The truth is beyond the pastor.The truth is Jesus himself.Praise God!

Pls I sincerely need clarification here.What is mass wedding? Were do they get the men and women? Do the government imposes it on the women's family to collect bride's price?...I need to know please!

Only baba God truely knows His people ooooh!

They don't really beg me directly but indirectly with the ways and manners they greet me when am entering and leaving the bank. Well I don't blame them at all.

ok.Thanks for the info. Noted

elsevier: A dishonest employer is one of the greatest fears of any job seeker. Unfortunately, nowadays the labor market is full of scammers whose main objective is to earn money in any way. A lot of managers enjoy by the vulnerable situation of the candidate, especially if he/she is searching for a job for quite a long time. In this article we will discuss the most common deception schemes in order to help you avoid dubious deals and not fall for the scam.

The scheme №1: Charge for Employment
One of the most common deception schemes, especially among recruitment agencies, is the demand for payment for the information that may help find a job. The company promises successful passing of the job interview, but does not give any guarantees that you will be offered for a post. Actually dishonest organizations do not cooperate with employers and provide a list of vacancies that are for free access on the Internet.

As a rule such agencies are very difficult to prosecute. In fact, the client paid money voluntarily and probably has no confirming documents. Often these companies do not exist for a long time as they cease their activity and disappear with the money of job seekers. Services of real recruitment agencies are to be paid only by the employer.

The scheme №2: Payment for Product Samples
The second common variant of deception: the company invites the candidate to pass the job interview and offer to purchase product samples. Employer explains that there is a necessity for such purchase because the candidate must be aware of company products. In other cases the further cooperation is impossible. The next step is quite predictable: the candidate receives a rejection to be employed and the organization refuses to return funds.

Remember that honest and serious organizations do not require money or other material rewards from job seekers and do not offer to pay expenses for any documents and services.

The scheme №3: Free of Charge Work
Jobseekers should guard that the vacancy of the company which offers a good position with high wages remains open for a long period of time. In fact, this practice has become very popular among scammers and dishonest employers. The scheme is quite simple: during the job interview or through e-mail the candidate receives an offer to perform 1-2 tasks that allegedly will help determine the level of preparation and professional qualities. Simple arithmetic shows that if the work is performed by at least 20-30 people a day, the company will have enough material and the level of expenditure will remain unchanged.

It is very difficult to declassify such scams because some of the posts (e.g. copywriters, journalists or editors) really require the performance of test tasks to check the skills of a candidate and the quality of work. However, we strongly recommend you to look for the information about a potential employer via the Internet and specialized websites.

The scheme №4: "Additional" Employees
Continuously open vacancy may also mean that the employer is looking for job seekers in order to create or expand the base of potential candidates in the case of dismissal of company employees. Many directors and managers practice this variant to simplify the task in the future and to reduce time for finding a suitable person. It is practically impossible to define such a scheme, especially in large firms.

In any case, do not be upset: an invaluable experience and acquired knowledge will help to behave more confidently on other job interviews.

The scheme №5: The Charge for Training Courses
A large number of fraud firms offer to pay for training courses and to buy educational materials before your formal employment.

Stay alert: practically in all cases good companies carry out education and additional courses only at their own expense.

Moreover, managers are interested that the employees get more knowledge and skills as most of them are convinced that the professional and qualified specialist is the key to the future success of the organization.

Scheme №6: Free Probationary Period
Free of charge labor is a very old type of fraud that is widely used by the employers. The essence of the scheme relies in the fact that after the successful passage of the job interview the employee is offered to undergo probationary period to become familiar with future duties (usually 1-2 months). Depending on the results the manager will decide the final decision on the employment. The main nuance - the time and efforts spent are not paid by the employer.

Needless to say, that after the completion of the probationary period the person is rejected to be employed. The main reason is that the candidate allegedly fails to meet the requirements of the post.

If you have received such an offer and have any doubts, it is worth knowing that any work must be paid in accordance with the Nigerian Labor Act. It is better to sign the employment contract before the performance of duties. Unpaid probationary period is the illegal activity and are to be reported to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

Very timely. Thanks

I watched a television program this morning on the lingering ASUU strike. During the discussion program, the moderator quoted someone as defining ASUU as "A FESTIVAL IN NIGERIA DURING WHICH UNIVERSITIES STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO GO TO SCHOOL." This hilarious definition really got me laughing. It makes some sense though. What do you think?

MY PEOPLE, WHY IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT ALMIGHTY GOD SEES THE HEART OF MEN AND KNOWS ITS CONTENT, IT IS ALSO PREFERABLE TO TAKE THE BIBLE TO CHURCH INSTEAD OF A TABLET FOR SO MANY REASONS WHICH THOUGH MAY NOT BE SIN BUT HINDRANCES TO THE FAITH OF OTHERS SINCE EVERY ONE IN THE CHURCH IS AT DIFFERENT LEVEL OF MATURITY WHEN IT COMES TO SPIRITUAL MATTERS. THERE IS MORE THAT MEETS THE EYES ON THIS ISSUE. THE REVELATION AT YOUR DISPOSAL ALSO HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN ALL THESE. THANKS!
