Yes, 100%. In addition to the moral plane, there is the practical one - this man said he wanted to be a martyr and so we…grant him that? It also seems like it would just be fertile ground for making more terrorists. Honestly, I think it’d be so much better to have him live the rest of his life in confinement. Murdering him livestream seems like the very worst option for the United States, though, and so of course Hegseth is excited about it. Him and the bullshit idea of “warrior ethos”, oh my god. 🙄 I always wonder how much Hegseth talks about his protein intake to those around him, too, FFS.
