Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

You guys are gonna love this. The Daily Beast would have you believe that DeSantis is walking around murdering veterans, which they take particular issue with because he is a vet himself!<\/p>\n

The Daily Beast, or what passes for journalism these days<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Ron DeSantis is under fire for turning against his fellow service members and letting executioners slaughter five veterans this year alone.<\/p>\n

The governor, who served in the U.S. Navy as a commissioned officer from 2004 to 2010, has called Florida \u201cthe most veteran-friendly state\u201d in the nation. But during his reign, nine people have been executed\u2014including five veterans.<\/p>\n

Florida administers executions by lethal injection or electric chair at the execution chamber located at Florida State Prison.<\/p>\n

Veterans statewide are now pleading with DeSantis to stop the executions of fellow former service members, all of whom devoted part of their life to protecting the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can never be a veteran friendly state when our leader is signing off on their deaths at the hands of the State,\u201d more than 130 vets wrote in a letter to DeSantis. \u201cWe urge you now to lead from a place of bravery, to return to the honor code from your service, and to stop setting the executions of our fellow soldiers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know we’ve got more than a few regulars that hail from America’s Wang<\/del> The Sunshine State, so what say you? Is executing those convicted of heinous crimes something that should be stopped in light of their previous service?<\/p>\n

I was aware of the veterans preference on job applications, the VA home loan, and the GI Bill as benefits we’re entitled to. I’ll admit that I was never once briefed that another benefit of military service is that we can be exempted from the death penalty for capital offenses. Now that I think about it, we were explicitly advised that the death penalty was on the table for violations of the UCMJ and the Law of Armed Conflict while still in uniform. I’m beginning to think this Daily Beast writer doesn’t have a clue what they’re talking about.<\/p>\n

Anyway, there’s more at the source (linked above) if you want to read more baselessly anti-Republican vitriol dressed up as hard-hitting news.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
