The Pentagon announced on Monday evening that Nidal Hasan would be executed by firing squad, which Hegseth recommended and President Donald Trump approved. Acting Secretary of the Army Adam Telle set the date for Hasan’s execution on December 3 at 2pm ET, 1pm CT, at Fort Hood.

Hegseth said the execution would occur on “a Thursday, we’re going to do it at one o’clock, which is when he did it, and it’s going to be soldiers with rifles executing the firing squad.”

Jesus fuck we have lost our way

The thought of shooting someone gets this dude hard. I fully believe that.

Pathetic ass loser.

The entire purpose is to spread fear, so nobody defies Trump over the next 2 years (or beyond that). This really is like North Korea now. Congrats. This is what happens when you elect a dangerous narcissist with dementia (people who knew him even strongly warned about him)

Its a good thing you guys didn't vote for Kamala. That would have been horrible /s

If toxic masculinity had an avatar how would it be any different than Hegseth?

We aren't allowed to talk on Lemmy about what should be done to conservatives, yet we can openly discuss what they are actively doing to everyone else.

Pentagon has since confirmed it will be live streamed

These people are such freaks

Should make for some great edits putting Charlie Kirk in there since it's okay to show people being executed by gunfire.

Clearly this is full Nazi behavior. One possible good thing that could come out of this is if someone gets the list of who streams it. That would be very helpful if we ever get to the Nazi punching part, or even as a list of boys you won’t want to date or let into the nice places.

This is just warm up. Trump has been itching to execute his "enemies" via firing squad - Stalin style - except that trump has instantaneous WORLD WIDE ACCESS to the world. He has been DYING to start executing his enemies. You know, like democrats. Intellectuals. news people. Like that. That's why he made firing squads part of the federal "justice" system in his first term. Long term planning. Once he steals the next election he'll have carte blanche to be the Stalin he's been trained to be.

I figure because he's such a sleaze that he'll make it pay-per-view and cash in on that too. Finally... his ratings will begin to climb.

Will Hegseth drink the blood of the executed man to enhance his masculinity?

Poetic justice, do your thing.

Fascists always gonna fash.

I hope one day it's his turn and they do the same. I'll make popcorn

Too bad we don’t have an FCC to shut that down, a Congress to remove them for this blatant crime, or an FBI that will ever do its job.

Isn't that socialism?

Republicans are turning America into a true shithole country.

Damn. They're not going to leave anyone one shred of innocence. And everyone else from whom we've stolen it will celebrate our comeuppance.

Anything to distract from his massive failure in the Middle East, I guess.

Can it be his own?
