Pete Hegseth vows to make first firing squad execution in decades ‘public’

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth vowed in an interview this week that the execution of the man who killed 13 people in a mass shooting at Fort Hood in 2009 would be “public.”

“We’ll make sure that people are able to watch it, that it’s public, because people need to understand that there’s serious consequences for these types of things,” Hegseth told far-right podcaster Jack Posobeic in an interview aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln on Wednesday. He did not offer details about how the execution would be publicized.

The Pentagon announced on Monday evening that Nidal Hasan would be executed by firing squad, which Hegseth recommended and President Donald Trump approved. Acting Secretary of the Army Adam Telle set the date for Hasan’s execution on December 3 at 2pm ET, 1pm CT, at Fort Hood.

Army Sets Date for First Military Execution by Firing Squad Since 1945

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, will be shot to death on Dec. 3 at Fort Hood, where he killed 13 and wounded 32 in 2009.

Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan will be executed by firing squad at Fort Hood, Texas, on Dec. 3, for fatally shooting 13 people and wounding 32 in 2009 at the same base, the Army said in a statement on Wednesday.

The rampage was the deadliest mass shooting on an American military installation.

President Trump approved the execution earlier this week. The execution could still be derailed, but if it is carried out, Major Hasan will be the first person to be executed through the military justice system since a soldier was hanged in 1961.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
