I don’t think the army has executed anyone in the last 50 yers. Any body know for sure.

The last execution by the military was 1961.

"I don’t think the army has executed anyone in the last 50 yers. Any body know for sure." 1961 - Death by hanging, approved two years earlier by Eisenhower.
But, Bush was the first President to approve a sentence of death since Eisenhower. That case is on appeal and might be decided sometime next year. If so, he'll be executed. This Hasan case will certainly end with a sentence of death, although it will be a decade - give or take - before a final resolution is determined.

Yes, I concur. You are absolutely right about him serving life sentences for his crimes and not being executed. I stand corrected Got a bit carried by the emotion of the moment.
Thank you for your insight, observation.
