For this case, they will ALL request live ammo....
Per Chief Pentagon Spokesman Sean Parnell, "“Judgement day for Nidal Hasan has finally come.”
Grok explains the typical US military firing squad protocol:
The squad typically numbers 5–12 riflemen plus a non-commissioned officer or officer in charge.
In many traditions, one or more rifles are loaded with blank cartridges (or all but one are blanks) so that no individual soldier can be certain of having fired the fatal round. Weapons are inspected beforehand.
The prisoner is usually escorted under guard, may be offered last rites or a final statement, and is positioned against a wall, stake, or post. Hands are bound, and a blindfold or hood is commonly applied. A white or contrasting cloth target is often pinned over the heart.
- The squad is formed at a fixed distance—commonly 15–25 yards.
- The squad is brought to the ready or aim position.
- A preparatory command is given.
- The order to fire is issued.
After the volley, the officer inspects the body. If the prisoner is still alive, a designated member (or the officer) delivers a close-range coup de grâce to the head or heart.
Death is confirmed by the medical officer.
Send help......and a storage unit. He kept the m'fer a secret. Maybe I should come home with a pair of $1000 shoes.

@SGKusmertz If you could have one song play when you enter a room, what would it be?
@bek1 Do you usually feel excited or stressed out about going back to school after summer break?
@wilbner What was the best prank you’ve ever pulled?
