For the first time since Vietnam, a soldier has been sentenced to death for the active attempts and completion of killing fellow soldiers.
My thoughts: Justice, while harsh, has been served.

Your thoughts to follow.
Although I am becoming more an more opposed to the DP, it is cases like this that really deserve it. My only reservation is that, having read some of this guy’s ramblings, he might be off his nut.
I wonder how long it will take to work its way through the appeals process.
Will the Army execute him by lethal injection, or the Federal Government?
The new (2002) U.S. Disciplinary Barracks at Ft. Leavenworth operates separately from the civilian facility, and has its own Max-Security facility (SHU) and its own Death Row.

(anti DP site but the factual info seems credible enough)
Apparently you can expect over a decade of appeals in a regular common-murder case; I’m not sure how it would go with such a blatant fragging.
I believe that the Supreme Court has ruled that death by Federal Government is cruel and unusual punishment. 
I dunno…
whoosh.
And add to that how no capital punishment was meted out for fragging incidents in Vietnam; the last execution under UCMJ was in 1961 and it was for a non-combat-related common murder.
