This is excellent, because this accurately reflects who we are now. Tune in, everyone, and don’t flinch when the shots are fired. Capital punishment is primitive and brutal, and it shouldn’t be hidden away or medicalized. This is us. We’re the ones doing this.

Not saying either the Pentagon or current Administration have handled this well. Or in a timely manner. Or that live streaming is anything like appropriate. But if you're both a doctor and an officer, and yet go on a mass-murder spree against the folks who you've both sworn loyalty to, and who are paying you to care for them - yeah . One could argue that he was profoundly mentally ill himself, but I have no sympathy.
