This may come as a disappointment for anyone hoping an enemy of the state who turns traitor on the soldiers he had deceptively taken an oath to serve alongside of would see justice in the form of a ride on old Sparky.
Justice served will not come in the form of riding the lightning. And yet, this conclusion has a certain poetic justice in the instance of someone whose infamy came as a result of the mass murder of unarmed and unsuspecting soldiers on base who had considered him a neighbor (and possibly friend) only hours before. Thirteen dead. Thirty wounded. Ten minutes of gunfire.
His craven act of carnage left behind real victims with names, families, and stories.
The news was announced in a tweet:
Hegseth retweeted it with a one-word caption.
“Justice”.
