Full metal jackass nails it.

The Founding Fathers were far from saints, and we are still paying for their sins--but they weren't morons.

And he even styles himself as some sort of "Christian."

Great history lessons. Look, I’m no fan of Hassan and he certainly deserves to die, but honestly, I don’t see the justice in killing a disabled individual regardless of the crime.

And in Hassan ‘s case, life in a wheel chair, mostly confined to a small cell (max security prison), and shitting in a bag seems more than an appropriate lifetime sentence. But hey, that’s just me!

That said, from my understanding, they use five or more marksman when executing a death by firing squad—some shooting blanks so no one has to live with the emotional aspect of killing a a helpless guy confined to a wheel chair.

I say the hell with it! Let’s have our selfless patriotic and resolute Secretary of War do it: Hegseth! That’s right let One man, One bullet, One shot! That’s what real men do. And I say it should be aired on cable TV—who wouldn’t want to see the head of . military lead by example. I’m sure he’s quite the shot, at least he talks that way.

Bottom line, this nightmare needs to end. We are the laughing stock of the world and our nation is imploding from within as we speak. Something has to give, and soon!…:)

Excelllent article, Ken. I haven't seen this issue even raised by MSM. By tonight, they will be acting like they discovered these truths.

Been a free sub, but this "scoop" is worth at least a monthly shot. What is astonishing is that KK is apparently the only one to have picked up on this--or at least published it.

It is actually rather depressing. Ironically it also pretty much made my day. 👍

on the bright side i think there's a significant chance they don't go through with it

it only occurred to me after talking to soldiers - but isn't that what every defense reporter is supposed to be doing?

Liberals need to get past this "erm, ackshually" style of discourse. The fascists don't care about nuance, they want blood, they want spectacle.

They don't care about the nuance where a firing squad implies he's a solider or putting him to death makes him a martyr and gives him what he wants.
