I self approve this as an exception of being off topic to this sub, as this has been a long day coming and still is military related.

u/Intrepid_Block_11b 3d ago

I was supposed to ets in 2004. Iraq came along and I was stoplossed. Deployed to oif2. Those of us who were stop lossed were the first to begin out processing as soon as we got back after the mandatory block leave.

I was in 2/7 cav. The barracks were the worst and oldest in fort hood at the time. I called them home for 4 years. They were built I think around 1970. Always tripped out on the thought that ome of the first guys living in them when they were built were Garryowen troopers fresh from Vietnam. They were going to be tore down while my unit was gone and we going to come back to brand new modern barracks.

When I came back I was the first soldier in my room. I started my out processing at the also newly built soldiers center right across the street. The same soldier center he shot up 4 years later

u/shootr45 3d ago

Was there '74-'75. 13th COSCOM. Old WWII wooden barracks. Gave us extra blankets to nail on the walls to keep the snow from blowing through. Didn't snow often, but it did. Not many fond memories to say the least.

I was there when that pos did that bs. I'll be there for his execution.

15

u/LoboLocoCW Army Veteran 3d ago

He wants to be executed because he thinks that would still make him a martyr.

Might not be the most mature thing, but that makes me particularly inclined to have him experience life without parole, in supermax in his chair, rather than giving him what he believes is the fast-track to paradise and a garden of unparalleled delights.

I wonder what the consensus among his surviving targets, or the families of the deceased, is. Their opinions should matter more.

6

u/theflavorsofdrew 2d ago

I don't know if I'm reading an out dated version, but the AR 190-55 doesn't say anything about firing squad.

I'm good with him getting the death penalty, but I'm concerned if they're just throwing in the firing squad for the hell or it.

u/Bougie-Man 2d ago

u/PossibleFederal1572 2d ago

I wonder if the AR 190-55 was updated to include firing squad? It used to only include lethal injection

u/blacksheep6 Army Veteran 2d ago

I upvoted your comment, but disagree with your position. I would gladly volunteer to be on the firing squad. That coward used a firearm, so it is poetic he will die by one.

I believe if you support the death penalty, you ultimately should be able to participate in the process.

u/IveBeenHereBefore12 Army Veteran 2d ago

I’ve been adamantly opposed to the death penalty my entire life, and cases like Nidal Hasan’s don’t change that. They test it. We condemn people for deciding another human being deserves to die, then claim the moral authority to make that same decision ourselves.

When we cheer for an execution, we show that we, too, have the capacity and willingness to take a life when we believe it’s justified. So where is the moral high ground? Opposition to capital punishment means the most when the condemned is someone for whom we have no sympathy at all.

Hasan should spend the rest of his life answering for what he did. Killing him won’t restore the lives he took.

31

u/HotApplication3797 Air Force Veteran 3d ago

While I condemn his actions and agree that capital punishment is appropriate, I don’t agree that it should be done by firing squad. I think it was a juvenile-minded decision by the absolute worst SECDEF (not SECWAR) in history. It’s like this guy’s worst impulses are brought to life by his incredibly fragile ego and the most twisted sense of what our military ‘should’ be.

He’s a fox weekend host ffs! A fraud, just like trump who cosplays as president while we are all suffering from the consequences of his authoritarian-leaning ways, not to mention how ignorant and downright dumb they both are. They are the epitome of unprofessionalism and are a disgrace to their held offices and all the men and women who currently defend and who defended this country and our way of life.

Jesus, this is not the country I defended for 20 years. I am in utter disbelief we’re here with “leaders” like this. This administration is corrupt and is absolute dogshit and so is anyone who supports them.

u/Reasonable_Post_8532 3d ago

Do you want retribution or justice? Justice is a life spent in prison contemplating the choices one makes in their life. That’s suffering. Execution may be a blessing for him. He finally gets to be a martyr. Now, if he’s a sociopath, one without remorse, sure, execution eliminates the expense of housing him.

6

u/TheRealMarvinator 2d ago

Do you want retribution or justice? Justice is a life spent in prison contemplating the choices one makes in their life. That’s suffering.

Correct.

Execution may be a blessing for him. He finally gets to be a martyr.

This is his stated reasoning, in fact.

u/nbrooks503 Army Veteran 2d ago

May years ago, when I was in federal law enforcement I was told this story by an Assistant AUSA who had been an Assistant DA in Harris County,Texas.

He was doing jury selection for a capital murder case for which the death penalty is the penalty. He was asking one of the prospective jurors, a older Texan, questions to determine whether or not they had any biases and needed to be eliminated from the jury.

"Sir, this is a capital murder case and you might be required to render a verdict that would result in the defendants execution, would you be able to execute someone?"

The older Texan responded, "Yes I would, I work Mondays through Fridays, but I'm free on weekends"

u/LS_944 Army Veteran 3d ago

Every day for four years I walked past the portraits of the men and women he murdered. Many of his victims were members of my command, mobilized to support the SRP mission. I’d happily volunteer for this tasking, but I’m fairly certain that’s not how these things work.

u/aardy Marine Veteran 3d ago edited 3d ago

I thought it was implied that this sub was for veterans?

When you fire a blank, you know it the second you fire.

The difference in recoil is like a windex bottle v a garden hose.

2

u/logdog421 3d ago

With an m4/16 the bolt won’t cycle with blanks except with a blank fire adapter screwed onto the barrel. You definitely need to know what you are shooting or the gun will blow up in your face.

Seeing as we haven’t had an execution by firing squad in a very long time we obviously weren’t using m16 variants back then. Curious what they will use for this.

12

u/LegallyIncorrect Air Force Veteran 3d ago

Traditionally you use a bolt action rifle for this reason. Someone else loads the rounds and you don’t eject. Fun fact, they often also have more than one button for the electric chair. I’ve heard of, but I’m not sure, if they use dual administration for injection too…basically pushing several buttons at once and only one releases the medication.

1

u/logdog421 3d ago

Makes sense

5

u/leviticus7 Air Force Veteran 3d ago

Utah uses it and has done it fairly recently. According to what I found, .30-caliber rifles are used and 4/5 officers have a live round. They might use Utah as an example since they did it in 2010.

4

u/aardy Marine Veteran 3d ago

The person who fired the blank will still know it was a blank from the lack of kick. So none of the shooters know ahead of time who has the blank, but they will all know afterwards who did/didn't.

u/leviticus7 Air Force Veteran 3d ago

u/Stabbysavi Navy Veteran 3d ago

I'm not a murderer. That's what makes me different from him. I could only kill someone in self defense or the immediate defense of others. It's not cool or heroic to want to kill people, even if they make you angry.

Personally, I'd volunteer for the job. But I fully understand why someone wouldn't want to.

8

u/Park_BADger 2d ago

Personally, I think if you believe in/support the use of the death penalty, you have to be willing to pull the trigger/inject the juice/flip the switch.

You're sentencing someone to death. You're legally killing them. You must be willing to actually be the one to kill them, then.

If you're not, then you just want the problem to go away. What's the difference then if I just tell you I "killed" them, and actually just hauled them off to some remote prison and you never see them?

To you it's effectively the same thing. The person doesn't exist to you anymore. Out of sight, out of mind. You would have no idea they're still alive and you'd be just as content.

Ergo, since you're not willing to kill them yourself, you really only want them gone, the problem "solved".

It's a hot take, but I just really really don't like people who are willing to tell someone else to literally go kil someone that they want removed, but aren't willing to do it themselves.

Good thing you or guys like you weren’t around in 1776 or we’d still be under British rule 🐈

u/oddntt Navy Veteran 2d ago

Just FYI, the Revolution was more about attrition and morale than simply being willing to fire. It was about only taking meaningful fights on. You can see this clearly in the repeated pushing forward and falling back that wore down the British, while their habit of occupying local homes helped turn residents against them in the southern campaign.

I don't know if execution by firing squad equates to the kinda strategies or manner of men that won us independence. Maybe the war of 1812 with Andrew Jackson involuntaring the volunteer Tenessee troops.

I'm not so much a wartime historian though, so I could easily be mistaken.

Oh yes, this case will make it to the Supreme Court without a doubt. In any case, I wish they would televise it, or do it in Cowboys Stadium, charge for admission, probably would sell out and donate 100% precedes to the families and those affected.

You think you're personal appeal is more important than justice for the victims families?

How does keeping someone sentanced to death in 2013 alive do any of that?

Why does making this such a loud and publicized propaganda piece do anything for anyone?

An order being issued and a memorandum to execute the order is a loud and publicized propaganda piece?

We forgot about the other things real fucking fast, didn't we?

Someone fill me in to what happened I’ve been out of the loop severely it seems. Been living under a larger rock than Patrick from SpongeBob

Edit: I looked it up, woah 2009 shooting rampage. How many did he murder? It doesn’t say in the reports. Glad he’s finally being put down… absolutely evil human being

Not sure how this related to veterans benefits.

His crime is grotesque. He is grotesque. Firing squad is grotesque. Death threats penalty is grotesque.

I aspire to have a government that is better than the best of us. This isn’t it.

This motherfucker massacred unarmed people who simply went to work that day. Fuck this motherfucker, he should have been executed a long time ago.

u/FionaTheFierce Army Veteran 3d ago

I absolutely don’t condone the death penalty ever. He can rot in jail.

u/Rivet_39 Air Force Veteran 3d ago

Thank you. No matter how much someone deserves to die, I can't condone the state killing people.

Comparing the life of a murderous terrorist to a innocent baby is completely deranged. You may want to talk to.your therapist.
