big mistake to execute the kid. and a big
mistake to execute nidal malik hasan
IMHO
Hasan needs to be incarcerated for the rest of his life.
He failed his nation, his fellow soldiers. He failed his leadership. He destroyed and seriously degraded the trust that soldiers have from their fellow countrymen.
Wish I could have watched his court-martial.
My former boss.... a full bird colonel, was asked at the beginning of the two court martials if he could remain impartial....or something to that effect. He answered no. He was excused from the two court martials I took him to. His belief, was that if you were a Soldier, and if you screwed up....you deserved to fry, serve the max sentence, locked up forever. His belief was......Soldiers did not screw up. Me, standing at the side of the court room, arms crossed in front of me with my Motorola portable radio in hand, watching a court-martial get started.
A court-martial.....minus my Boss. The deputy commanders driver laughed as we were in front of the S2 Shop, telling me " Your Boss believes they should get cooked".
Every event has a story. Every event has facts. Sorting through the facts and the time of events is important.
Did you hear the recent story on the news, one that is just days old. A guy robbed a bank..........because the captors holding his family hostage......told him to.
