McVeigh — Interesting case: death sentence carried out surprisingly quickly, early reports of middle-eastern [?] man scrubbed.
Hassan — Interesting case: the military refusing to treat him as a spy and executing him for that crime, though IIUC his actions warrant it.
Manning — Interesting case: leaked information /after/ becoming concerned about the possibility of illegal orders and being summarily dismissed from those concerns.

The first and third rather seem to indicate there’s more to the story than is in the common knowledge, the second indicates the possibility of something odd in the military itself.

Hassan’s case was ruled work place violence. Then there is the beard thing. Last time I checked being in military prison is just like being on active duty. You still have to maintain military grooming standards.

Alsska Wolf is seriously confused.

Many former military personnel are police officers.
