She said the legitimacy of the Afghanistan war is not an issue at Hasan&#8217;s trial, which has not started. She also ordered Hasan not present any evidence or arguments about his claims that deploying U.S. troops posed an immediate threat to Taliban fighters.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m guessing that Hasan will die of old age before the Army gets a chance to sentence him which might be their strategy. Then they&#8217;ll probably pay his family his SGLI death benefit, too, on top of all of the pay he&#8217;s still earning. According to the article, not everyone who was killed that day was headed for Afghanistan. For example, PVT Francheska Velez had just returned from Iraq when she was murdered by Hasan. <\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;m sure it will be even longer than the three months he was asking for to develop his strategy to put the war in Afghanistan on trial.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Associated Press reports that judge COL Tara Osborn told Fort Hood murderer that he couldn&#8217;t &hellip; <a title=\"Nidal Hasan, Esq denied defense strategy\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=36252\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Nidal Hasan, Esq denied defense strategy<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-36252","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36252","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=36252"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/36252\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=36252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=36252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=36252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
