A GENERAL has affirmed the death sentence for a US Army sergeant convicted of murdering two fellow soldiers in a grenade attack in Kuwait at the outset of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, the army said today.
Sergeant Hasan Akbar, 35, is the first US soldier to face the death penalty for killing another soldier since the end of the Vietnam War.

I vote for a reenactment of the "tied to the car trunk" scene from the movie: "Man on Fire".

Damn.
I was hoping we'd get him her in Indiana.
We got McVeigh and a few drug kingpins over the years.

The last US military execution was in 1961. If there is such a thing as a fast track, may Mr. Akbar be on it.

From UCMJ Article 71: "a) If the sentence of the court-martial extends to death, that part of the sentence providing for death may not be executed until approved by the President. In such a case, the President may commute, remit, or suspend the sentence, or any part thereof, as he sees fit. That part of the sentence providing for the death may not be suspended."

This court martial took something like five years. In an actual war it would have taken five hours. Or a court martial wouldn't have been necessary.

Bleeding heart liberals will rush to his defense because they hate the US and the US military just as this murderer does.
