    So not only will they turn this guy into a martyr, but the first US military execution in many decades will be firing rifles at a guy bound to a wheelchair.

    If this doesn’t cause widespread retribution by religious fanatics/suicide bombers, I’ll be very surprised.

      I would be shocked if that wasn’t the point. Governments have a long history of stoking those with a “radical” agenda in the name of having a bogeyman. See Indian Removal, Pearl Harbor and Japanese Internment, the Crack “Epidemic”, October 6th, etc…

    The squad has tobe made up of volunteers … right. I would refuse if I was a soldier. In fact I would take reasonable punishment for it. If the risk is to join them in the squad I’m using all resources to get away. The people who execute this man should be tried. Thus isnt a service to their country. It’s just a satisfaction of bloodlust.

    Will Dennis Miller call the play-by-play? With Dog The Bounty Hunter making technical comments? Opening prayer by Joel Oafsteen, and a very special musical performance by Who-the-fuck-is-Lee Greenwood?

    Just a bunch of losers who never did anything “manly” in their lives like go kill a bunch of Middle-easterners so instead they watched a bunch of Ogrish and Liveleak and deamt about how they would have killed everyone with brown skin and jerked off to Apache helicopters firing missiles into crowds of people visible on thermal imaging have decided that they will vicariously pull the trigger executing a Muslim on their personal Liveleak stream so they can tell each other what badasses they are.

    (Just in case it isn’t obvoious the “manly” killing is deeply derisive and sarcastic. They’re fail-upwards macho men that wished they’d gunned down the “enemy”. Arpaio, John Wayne, Nugent, et al. but spent their lives making stories up about themselves)

      No, you’re not wrong. As a man, a lot of men have extremely fragile ego. They bully because they want to feel power.

      unrelated but how the fuck have you been remembering your username for over a year

      back on topic:

      “dumb pedophile goon” are accurate descriptions of Hegseth, but I’m struggling to find a label that fits the psychopathy of live streaming an execution

      Who tf does that

      Neo-nazis, ISIS and maybe the IDF

      LiveLeak is back and it has a .gov tld

        It will unfortunately have an audience. Look at how many people not only watch, but seek out disturbing video of all sorts of things. As long as it’s someone they don’t know, it’s another car wreck, live on TV, and they’ll slow down to see if they can see something.

        I hope I’m wrong and there’s lots of outrage.

      It’s the fascist slide: every day a new outrage, then by the next day it’s normalized. Everyone thinking “surely this time someone will do something to stop them.”

        Terrorising US troops during the Iraq and Afghanistan wars is a good thing.

        Hasan exited the SRP building and headed for an auditorium to find more targets, but upon opening the auditorium door, he found a graduation ceremony going on inside. He could not distinguish between soldiers and civilians because of the graduation gowns, so he left and headed back towards the SRP building.

        literally more of a moral compass than most US troops. Certainly higher than people like Graham Plattner.

          That doesn’t excuse killing a pregnant woman. He outright admitted he was doing it in support of the Taliban as well.
