Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered that Nidal Hasan, the former Army Major who murdered 13 fellow service members at Fort Hood, Texas, in two thousand and nine, be executed by firing squad in December.
Hasan will be seen by his fellow jihadists as a martyr, the highest achievement for those who believe in Islamism.
More likely, a public execution will serve as a recruiting tool for future jihadists.
Hasan should be executed in private with only relatives of those he killed present and certain officials.
His body should be cremated and his ashes scattered in a secret location or flushed down a toilet so none of his fellow believers can use it as a place of worship.
He should change his mind because such an act won't change the minds of the jihadists.
