Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is calling for the ex*****on of former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan, who in 2009 killed 13 people at Fort Hood in Texas.

Hegseth is seeking President Donald Trump’s official approval to execute the former Army psychiatrist who killed 13 and wounded 32 others at the Texas military facility in November 2009.

“I am 100 percent committed to ensuring the death penalty is carried out for Nidal Hasan,” Hegseth said in a statement to The Hill.

“This savage terrorist deserves the harshest lawful punishment for his 2009 mass shooting at Fort Hood. The victims and survivors deserve justice without delays,” Hegseth continued.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth will ask President Donald Trump to approve the ex*****on of Nidal Hasan, the Fort Hood shooter who killed 14 people and injured dozens more in 2009.

The last time a military ex*****on happened was when former soldier John Bennett was hanged in 1961.

Hasan was sentenced to death in 2013 for the attack after being convicted of 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder.

Hasan, one of four prisoners facing possible ex*****on by the military, has been on death row at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks in Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, since his conviction.

This man mur*ered thirteen at Fort Hood and injured over thirty others.

He deserves ex*****on. https://t.co/yWMKYs9K38

The legal challenges to the conviction and sentence ended in April, clearing away legal obstacles to the ex*****on.

After Hasan was found guilty in 2013, Jerri Krueger, mother of Staff Sgt. Amy S. Krueger, who was killed in the Fort Hood attack, wrote: "Although the pain of losing Amy will always weigh heavy upon us, we have some relief knowing that Hasan was found guilty without doubt and that he will pay for what he did,” according to the Army.

At the time, as the appeals process began, she said she would have been content with life without parole for Hasan, although she was not opposed to his ex*****on.

“I know he's sitting in a four-by-eight cell, and that's all that matters to me,” she said then, according to WISN-TV.

As noted by the Army, victims of the massacre were awarded Purple Hearts in 2015, after Congress intervened.

Prior to the attack, Hasan had communicated with Yemeni-American imam Anwar al-Awlaki,, a 2018 review of Hasan’s case by George Washington University’s Program on Extremism revealed.

“Perhaps the Biden administration’s political weaponization of government has Whitehouse feeling his oats. Perhaps Whitehouse believes he can use the power of his office to perpetually bully and threaten people he doesn’t like.”
