Hegseth Wants Public to Watch First Firing Squad Execution Since WWII
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has called for the execution of Nidal Hasan, the US Army major convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting that killed 13 people, to be carried out by firing squad and opened to public viewing, which would mark the first such public firing squad execution in the United States since World War II. Hasan sits on military death row, and no federal military execution has taken place since 1961.
Why now: Hegseth's call to make an execution a public spectacle has reignited debate over the death penalty and military justice.
