    The squad has tobe made up of volunteers … right. I would refuse if I was a soldier. In fact I would take reasonable punishment for it. If the risk is to join them in the squad I’m using all resources to get away. The people who execute this man should be tried. Thus isnt a service to their country. It’s just a satisfaction of bloodlust.

    So not only will they turn this guy into a martyr, but the first US military execution in many decades will be firing rifles at a guy bound to a wheelchair.

    If this doesn’t cause widespread retribution by religious fanatics/suicide bombers, I’ll be very surprised.

      I would be shocked if that wasn’t the point. Governments have a long history of stoking those with a “radical” agenda in the name of having a bogeyman. See Indian Removal, Pearl Harbor and Japanese Internment, the Crack “Epidemic”, October 6th, etc…

      Yes but the US was supposed to be the modern, civil country, as opposed to such ways, it’s yet another way the US has fallen and failed

      unrelated but how the fuck have you been remembering your username for over a year

      back on topic:

      “dumb pedophile goon” are accurate descriptions of Hegseth, but I’m struggling to find a label that fits the psychopathy of live streaming an execution

      Who tf does that

      Neo-nazis, ISIS and maybe the IDF

      LiveLeak is back and it has a .gov tld

        A password manager is a wonderful thing.
