Does DoD still execute people by firing squad? Because I think FoF has a point - not only has he committed murder in cold blood, but by fighting for an enemy force in time of war, treason as well.
No.
And saying that he is 'fighting for an enemy force' in wartime is probably not a realistic argument, legally or otherwise, for a myriad of reasons.

Legally, probably- but I would argue that the nature of the war we are fighting right now warrants a new definition for "enemy force".

Shouldn't any type of fratricide be seen as fighting for an enemy force, because you sure as hell aren't fighting for the US.
What a dark mark on my alma mater's honor. I can't believe this guy screened past his initial commitment.
I'm also tired of hearing about how "he was upset about his upcoming deployment and the possibility that he might have to kill another muslim." Give me a fucking break, anderson cooper...he's a doctor. When's the last time anyone saw a MD go outside the wire with a kevlar and an M4? What's worse I've heard more sob stories about johnny jeehawd in the past day than I have about any of the victims. Light him him up or put him in Leavenworth with the sodomites.

Ironically, he's probably going to be living longer (life) in KS than he would if he did this outside of the gates (electricution) in TX.

Wow. This particular article is really pushing the idea that he was a "victim" and a man who had been pushed too far. I'm not the type likely jump to conclusions, and make premature assumptions, and I kept my mouth shut about this topic up until now, but this particular article is freakin disgusting. They go on and on about how he was an honest man who initially wanted to serve his country, and do his duty as an American, but than says that this resulted mainly from him receiving mistreatment from fellow soliders since he was a Muslim and because he disagreed with the war effort. I dont care how much someone is fucked with, there is a fine line between the people who deal with it and move on and the ones who decide to pick up a gun and take lives, especially those of random people. He was an Army phsyciatrist going to Iraq, what the hell was he afraid of? I just find it appaling how they go on and on, interviewing his family about how he was a good and trustworthy man. Fuck this guy.

No, it would be lethal injection if convicted. I think it's too bad that he wasn't killed as suspected, as you said he'll probably live longer now. I don’t know the whole story but it sounds like he wasn’t too mentally stable and his lawyer will most likely pursue that area for a defense.
Yeah, that's where I stopped reading...I agree with whatever you said, wholeheartedly, though...

Consider the source. The article you cited was from msnbc, the most consistently reliable liberally-biased news source out there. Of course, he was a victim.
note: sorry, the original source was the New York Times , a separate head-case all its own.

From AP: Details emerge about Ft. Hood shooting 'suspect' ...
I LOVE it when they call him a 'suspect' ... :sleep_125

How do you volunteer to be on the firing squad?
