Vance described the actions by former US Army major Nidal Hasan as "the worst terrorist attack on American soil outside of 9/11". Hasan fatally shot 13 unarmed US soldiers at Fort Hood in 2009, injuring another 32.
范斯称前美国陆军少校尼达尔·哈桑的行为是"继9·11事件之外,美国本土发生的最严重恐怖袭击"。 2009年,哈桑在胡德堡枪击了13名手无寸铁的美军士兵,造成32人受伤。
His execution by firing squad would be the first military execution in more than 60 years. The Pentagon announced earlier this week it would execute Hasan by firing squad, the first of its kind since the end of World War Two.

The announcement over the livestream plans has been met with criticism from both political parties.

共和党参议员约翰*柯蒂斯(John Curtis)指出,罗马的"血腥奇观"腐蚀了观看他们的人的历史,警告说,公开处决会侵蚀文明"当它培养出对处决作为一种娱乐形式的

"The victims deserve justice administered with solemnity.

Broadcasting a death diminishes us and is not an effective deterrent," he said. Democratic Senator Chris Murphy told CNN that the idea was "disgusting" and reminiscent of executions carried out by the Islamic State group.
