Two stories out of the U.S. military are drawing attention this week — one involving a high-profile death row inmate and another raising questions about parental rights within Army healthcare. Both touch on issues that affect military families and the broader public in meaningful ways.
According to a recent report from Navy Times, President Trump has stated that the planned execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will not be livestreamed. Hasan, the Army officer convicted of killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 others in the 2009 Fort Hood massacre, has been on military death row for over a decade. The announcement ends speculation about whether the execution would be made available for public viewing.
In a separate development, the U.S. Army has said it will address concerns from parents who have been blocked from accessing their teenagers’ medical records. The issue has sparked frustration among military families who say they have been unable to review health information for their own minor children — a situation the Army now says it intends to resolve.
