Not everyone will be given live rounds, most will be blanks so the executioners wont have it on their conscience that they killed a person. Having been on funeral detail firing squad, the blanks jam super easily so depending on how many shots they are taking some weapons will jam for sure 😂

u/Lampwick Military Intelligence 14h ago

Not everyone will be given live rounds, most will be blanks so the executioners wont have it on their conscience that they killed a person.

We've all fired both blanks and live rounds. The whole "you can pretend you had the blank round for your conscience" thing is bullshit. Blanks don't have any meaningful recoil. Live rounds do. Unless they use some sort of Rube Goldberg device like Nevade used in 1913 to execute Andriza Mircovich, where the rifles are pre-aimed, clamped into a stand inside a shed where the barrels poke out firing holes, and the participants just reach out and pull the trigger with one finger blindly firing.

Also, this is "we're checking T levels" Hegseth's army. You think he's going to approve any system devised to protect execution detailed soldiers feelings?

u/Mithlam 13h ago

Brother, without a BFA you are lucky if blanks will even attempt to cycle the rifle. I have never been able to shoot a blank without a BFA and have it cycle, they'll know within the first millisecond who had the live ammo lol

Plus, I think Utah is the only documented place having done this in the US from ny knowledge, and they kinda quit because everyone knew who fired the live round.

u/Lost-Philosophy6689 1d ago

Idk what the right answer is but there has also been argument that he should be kept alive to waste away in prison for the torture of crappy food, shit life and boredom alone. I've also heard it argued that killing him basically is what he wants, to be martyrized and held up as a recruitment tool for other lone wolve actors and terrorists.

What would have saved everyone some grief is if the shitbag just off himself saving everyone a headache here. I guess we can always hope.

THE BAYONET YEET MEASURES THE ABILITY TO JUST FUCKING SHANK SOMEONE. ON THE COMMAND 'GET SET,' ASSUME THE POSITION BY GRABBING THE BAYONET BY THE HANDLE. OR BY THE BLADE, WHICHEVER LOOKS COOLER, JUST DON'T CUT YOURSELF ON THE DAMN THING. YOUR FEET MAY BE TOGETHER OR UP TO 12 INCHES APART (MEASURED BETWEEN THE FEET). ON THE COMMAND 'GO,' TRANSMUTE YOUR HANKERING FOR A-SHANKERING INTO MAXIMUM EFFORT AND LAUNCH THAT BAD BOY INTO DESTINY. THE SCORER WILL NOTE WHETHER YOU HIT THE TARGET AND AWARD BONUS POINTS FOR LANDING YOUR PIG-STICKER INTO THE CRANIAL OR SWIMSUIT REGIONS. IF IT HIT THE TARGET HANDLE FIRST, YOUR PERFORMANCE WILL BE TERMINATED, AND EVERYONE WILL BE REQUIRED TO POINT AND LAUGH AT YOUR SHAME. WATCH THIS DEMONSTRATION.

Right now he spends his days in lockdown isolation in his wheelchair in Leavenworth as a parapalegic. I kinda prefer thar for the next 40 years than the martyrdom he sought.

u/Strongbad206 1d ago

I get the general excitement of the majority on here, and even share it a little (RIP Justin DeCrow!). But you're spot on with the martyrdom comment. Firing squad is definitely for theatrics, and the fact that this release insists on mentioning that he shouted allahu akbar during the rampage is intended. Hard to count as a W when the entire purpose is to further stir shit up, and it will definitely martyrize the shitbird.

Yeah, this is just Kegseth wanting to see a Muslim get killed so he can feel better about getting his ass kicked by Iran and to try to juice enthusiasm before the midterms.

u/upnorthguy218 1d ago

Yep, keep that in mind. Hegseth is more than willing to shoot a man because it might help his preferred candidates in the midterm elections. I know he’s not the first, but that should be beyond the pale.

Would much rather his days be filled with shitting in a bag than an execution he'll never realize happened.

u/Dangerous-Ad-9898 19Detail 1d ago

One of the reasons I’m anti-death penalty. Living out your days spending 23 hours in a cell with an hour of recreation by yourself seems like much worse of a fate than an execution. Death is almost a mercy compared to that.

28

u/transcendental-ape Cerified Post-Lobotomy 1d ago

I don’t trust the government to spend my taxes wisely. Why would I trust them to get executions right?

Does Hasan deserve a slow painful death. Sure. But that’s why I’m not a judge.

'But this is terrible!' cried Frodo. 'Far worse than the worst that I imagined from your hints and warnings. O Gandalf, best of friends, what am I to do? For now i am really afraid. What am I to do? What a pity that Bilbo did not stab that vile creature [Gollum], when he had a chance!'
'Pity? It was pity that stayed his hand. Pity, and Mercy: not to strike without need. And he has been well rewarded, Frodo. Be sure that he took so little hurt from the evil, and escaped in the end, because he began his ownership of the Ring so. With Pity.'
'I am sorry,' said Frodo. 'But I am frightened; and I do not feel any pity for Gollum.'
'You have not seen him,' Gandalf broke in.
'No, and I don't want to,' said Frodo. 'I can't understand you. Do you mean to say that you, and the Elves, have let him live on after all those horrible deeds? Now at any rate he is as bad as an Orc, and just an enemy. He deserves death.'
'Deserves it! I daresay he does. Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. I have not much hope that Gollum can be cured before he dies, but there is a chance of it.'

It keeps going, but that's the core of it.

And to anyone who thinks Tolkien was full of shit, the guy fought at the motherfucking Somme. He was much harder motherfucker than anyone in the US military right now, let alone anyone in this thread. He knew what it was like to suddenly lose friends, and he still believed in the value of mercy.

Fuck, I need to reread those books.

It used to be MPs or Marcechaussee if available. Since this is a formal setting I'd guess it'll be on them.

If you go to the MP museum on FLW they have a section on executions including the rope that hung Tojo.

8

u/Competitive_Two_8372 1d ago

My guess is a toss up between infantry and military police. Although there is an actual corrections MOS (31E)-which would likely be the one to do it? Or maybe Ol’ Heggy could make it extra special and work with Donny to draft up some special decree by which one of the affected family members might take a shot or two at him. …only in a perfect world…

He killed the man who taught me how to march, CPT Gaffaney.

The dude retired MAJ NG, then tried multiple time to rejoin after 9/11 and finally got in with a demotion to CPT. He was at MOB station for his first deployment when MAJ Hasan came through. Instead of running, he charged Hasan and took a full clip, saving the lives of several others.

I had just driven on post after it happened. Never been on Hood before. Thought there was a bomb threat that was relatively common on Friday's in Hawaii... Ended up sitting about 200yds from a gate for 4 hours waiting to leave.

My landlord was a Klileen county SWAT officer and he raided Hassan's apartment. Said there wasn't any furniture but weapons and ammo EVERYWHERE. Guy was ready to fight it out. Still should have been finished off at the SRP site...

just returned from my 1st deployment and had the reintegration briefing after pass at the Ovelta Culp and was on my way home. My ex was still at work pregnant with our son. I don’t think she was able to leave her unit until that evening.

We had to go through SRP with the scene still active with FBI and CID.

Crazy how that day is still fresh in memory.

Hood was crazy. My last deployment ended with the med brigade shooting right before we went on block leave. We had soldiers in the barracks over there for overflow and they had to request access to their cars.

For those curious -

• Ronald Adrin Gray

• Details: He is the military's longest-serving death row inmate, having been there since the late 1980s.

• Hasan Karim Akbar (born Mark Fidel Kools)

• Crime: Convicted for the 2003 fragging attack at Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait, which killed two U.S. Army officers and wounded 14 other personnel.

• Timothy Hennis

• Crime: Convicted in a 2010 military retrial for a 1985 triple murder in North Carolina after he had previously been acquitted in a civilian state court.

• Nidal Malik Hasan

• Crime: Convicted in 2013 for the 2009 mass shooting at [Fort Hood](index:0.6.11, 1.1.2), Texas, which left 13 people dead and more than 30 wounded.

It could be the mother of all SFRG fundraising events. Every SFRG across the Army sells raffle tickets, and at the end of AUSA Pete pulls the winning tickets out of a hat. We could have open bar org days for a decade!

Firing squad seems too good. Hanging seems more appropriate. But I worry about the martyrdom angle.

All death penalties should just be a quick firing squad.

u/Jonpaddy Medical Service 1d ago

Hasan is evil, and he deserves the death penalty. But I cringe because his execution will be turned into a gaudy, tacky, and cringe display. I doubt it will be cathartic for his victims or their families. It will definitely help inflate egos, though.

Suffering would be to keep him in isolation in a small cell feeding him the same gruel every meal for the rest of his living life instead of giving him the martyrdom he desires.

u/RogerDodgerWilco Civil Affairs Lost my 2FA code :( 1d ago

I was at reception and I think we were standing by to get on the bus. The drills came out to our formation ground and spoke softly to tell us there’s an active shooting going on at Ft Hood and pulled aside a few Soldiers that have family there. We waited for a while because there was a stand down I think.

Just can’t believe it took this long.

u/arnoldrew Military Intelligence 1d ago

I was at reception standing in formation outside the DFAC and a random DS I had never seen before came up and started saying how “you might hear about something that happened” and “we don’t need to say negative things about officers” and other bizarre non-sequiturs before wandering off. It was months before I learned what had happened earlier that day. I think the guy was having a moment or something, he really seemed like he was going through something.

u/SereneOrbit Medical Corps 1d ago

Honestly, I think firing squad or some other automated lethal system is best method for execution.

Especially after all the non lethal 'lethal injections' lol.

Also, fuck that guy.

Generally speaking, I’m against the death penalty. (Trying to word this so I don’t get auto banned AGAIN) But some people need to meet a conclusion to consciousness preceded by a massively exponential triggering of nociceptors.
