WashingtonArchbishop Broglio tells Catholic soldiers to seek exemption from firing squad.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth wants to livestream Hasan’s execution, which would be a first.
No government execution has been broadcast, death penalty experts say, and the military has not used a firing squad since 1945.
Broglio asked whether the US wants to “imitate the terrorists of this world and make a public spectacle.”
President Donald Trump approved the firing squad but has not decided whether to allow the livestream.
