Hegseth Seeks Authorization for Military Execution

Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth has formally sought President Donald Trump’s authorization to carry out the execution of former Army Major Nidal Hasan for the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people and injured 32 others. The Army confirmed it has initiated procedural measures to enact Hasan’s death sentence, upheld after all legal appeals were exhausted in April. The case has reignited debates over military justice and capital punishment, with victims’ families advocating for closure and human rights groups questioning the process.

Hasan, convicted of 13 counts of murder and 32 counts of attempted murder, remains incarcerated at Fort Leavenworth. In 2015, victims of the attack were honored with Purple Hearts and congressional recognition for their sacrifice and resilience.

Hegseth expressed unwavering commitment to enforcing the death penalty, stating, “I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan.”

He emphasized the need for swift justice, describing Hasan’s actions as a terrorist act. “This savage terrorist deserves the harshest lawful punishment for his 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays.”

Survivors of the attack have voiced support for executing Hasan, while human rights advocates have raised objections, citing concerns about the fairness and transparency of military capital punishment procedures.

Hegseth rejected calls for leniency, signaling a shift in military leadership priorities. “The era of politically correct, overly sensitive don’t-hurt-anyone’s-feelings leadership ends right now at every level.”

Jerri Krueger, mother of fallen Staff Sgt. Amy S. Krueger, expressed a sense of relief at Hasan’s conviction and confinement, writing, “Although the pain of losing Amy will always weigh heavy upon us, we have some relief knowing that Hasan was found guilty without doubt and that he will pay for what he did.”

Krueger added, reflecting on Hasan’s current circumstances, “I know he’s sitting in a four-by-eight cell, and that’s all that matters to me.”

Capital punishment isn’t for every crime, however when it’s justified as in this case, it should be quickly carried out.

OMG, I wish this was true here also, you bunch of snowflakes… Not sure if I am down for the execution. Seems like giving him the easy way out. It is more punishment to let him just rot in a small cell with no contact.

They need to release the file from pedo island.

Wouldn’t that be cruel and inhumane treatment? As for the death penalty, if you don’t believe in it, why carry a lethal weapon? Killing someone would be you being judge, juror and executioner. So, you mean that it is not okay for anyone, but you. You must have taken the hypocritic oath.

I actually see your point-if this were about the perpetrator. It’s not. It’s about the victims and their families.

My great grandparents were both murdered. Shot to death in their own home. The dirtbag that killed them was tried for only one of the murders, found guilty and has spent most of his adult life (something like 60 years) in prison. My family had attended so many parole hearings it’s sickening. Of course, I never would have known my great grandparents. But I know a dark cloud that hung around every year or two or three depending on how long of a “set” he got before his next parole hearing. My family didnt deserve to be drug through that process more than a dozen times over the years.

And guess what? The state in which he’s incarcerated passed a law which now means he gets out of jail in a few months. He’s the longest serving inmate presently incarcerated in that state. Beyond any doubt guilty of double first degree murder. Gruesome murder. As in shot in the back of the head with a shotgun in cold blood.

Giving him “the easy way out” as you called it would have saved my family mountains of grief. It would have been the easy way out for the victims’ siblings, children, grandchildren and now great grandchildren who have faced a parole board countless times reliving the murder of a loved one. Every. Single. Time. The most recent hearing (and others) is on YouTube for the whole world to see what he did and what happened to my great grandparents. Some social justice warrior who argued for his parole referred to this monster as a “gentleman” claiming he has paid his debt to society. What a bunch of malarkey. Please explain to my why my family should have to live through that!

Easy way out?! For whom?!

Get real.

I can be objective enough to see your point.

But this isn’t about the perp.

It’s about the victims.

It’s about justice.

I do have enough objectivity to have misgivings about how the death penalty is carried out in the aggregate. But some cases are cut and dry and justice should be served swiftly and fully for the sake of the victims, their families, and the LOUD AND CLEAR message sent to society about the value of human life.

Rant over.

Wow, you just twist and make things up all the time. A real RICHARD move… Now, be the true snowflakes that you are; you and the Cabal get this one blocked too… (edit) Like I knew you would. So predictable nothing more than just clones. So sorry for calling you guys snowflakes that was wrong. Snowflakes are unique.

Really, maybe you are unaware of this; I’m not sure of your education, but some actually believe that the death penalty is cruel and inhumane.
Only I have never commented on it, other than that it is a waste of natural resources.

I am sorry to hear about this.

I understand. First, @Dave17 pulls shiat out of his ass and likes to twist shiat that I say… Let me break down what I said. It is far more punishment to let him live than to kill him and give him peace. As for the family, I totally get wanting to put the whole ordeal behind you. Myself, I would be visiting the pen every month with money to put into the baddest mofo in there commissary account to make sure he got all the lovin’ he could handle…

They shouldn’t, it is to bad you can not count on the people to do their job without your participation.

No you did not, not even close.

This is a quote. “You muppet.” Then the twist. I have never said I do not believe in the death penalty. As usual, you totally miss my point. What is more punishment, killing him or keeping him confined? Also, this might be a concept that is beyond your ability to understand, but I care about people, not convicts or pedos like you do. Don’t care about the Epstein files. If you paid any attention, I talked about carving prisoners up before for body parts.
Not to mention your logic is so absurd and twisted you would not be able to find your way out of a tunnel if one end was lit. With the way you like to twist my words to fit your narrative.

This is all you got… Oh yeah, that is because what I said was true. The fact you don’t understand the basic point and make shiat up really says how much of a sad little life you have. Also talk about making shiat up. Point out one grammar error, you mental midget. “pedo protector”

My post had nothing to with anything @Dave17 said. Not sure why you mention that in response to me.

Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. :joy: Not sure why hat else to say to that

Agreed. But those are the options as life exists. Death penalty or force the family to fight the recurring parole board. I’ll take the death penalty. There is no third option.

Sincere thanks.

I am sorry. It was my misunderstanding; I just took it as you were adding on.

I get it. My point was just what is worse, locking him up for life or giving him an easy way out of the punishment he deserves! I forgot to consider the toll on the family.
