Hegseth Calls for Public Viewing of Firing Squad Execution

Original: Hegseth Wants Public to Watch First Firing Squad Execution Since WWII

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said the public should be able to watch the execution of Nidal Hasan, the Army psychiatrist convicted of the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, by firing squad — which would be the first such US execution since World War II. Hasan remains on death row, and the proposal has reignited debate over capital punishment and military justice.

Why now: A senior official publicly endorsing a firing squad execution with public viewing is an unusual and provocative stance on the death penalty.
