That’ll never stand.

The last one was what? '61?

It's been over 50 years since the military (judicially, via the UCMJ) has killed one of it's own.

I'm not going to be re-memorizing "Danny Deever" anytime soon.

Wasn’t the last soldier to be executed in WWII..Pvt Slovack (sp) who was found guilty of desertion? He faced a firing squad I believe. Guess the kid was shell shocked and ran, was captured and found guilty and during wartime, got a bullet for his attempt.
