it appears that military tribunals in our system are just as slow or slower than civilian courts. The Ft. Hood shooter, Nidal Hasan, is still alive. Nov 5, 2009 was the date of the crime.

It wasn't a 'military tribunal' that tried that pos, just a regular GCM. 0 gets the credit that he still lives.

True. But then Khalid Sheik Mohammed is a GITMO military tribunal, and it's going even slower.

One reason some people hope that the military is put in charge of trials of Deep State Coup supporters is so that justice will be swift.

Things can change, but recent history doesn't support the claim that military justice works more quickly than civilian courts.

Why is that exactly? I'm not disagreeing with your statement, I am just curious what the mechanism is.

The Wikipedia article gives no explanation of why six years after being convicted he's still alive. It seems like six years should be long enough to exhaust appeals and get to the hanging part of the exercise.
