The US military announced that the execution of Nidal Hasan, who killed 13 people at Fort Hood in 2009, will be livestreamed. This execution, scheduled for December 3, will be conducted by firing squad and marks the first military execution in the US since 1961. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth confirmed the details, stating that the execution would be public. Hegseth made these remarks during an interview with influencer Jack Posobiec aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which recently returned from deployment. He emphasized the need for accountability for such actions, referencing the mentality of World War II. Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, was sentenced to death in 2013 for the shooting, which he claimed was intended to protect Taliban members. The announcement follows concerns regarding a previous execution attempt involving Christa Pike.
