Yeah, I said in comments to the post I wrote about this that I didn't think it would go ahead:
President Trump on Thursday canceled the Pentagon’s planned livestream of the execution of the Army officer who was convicted in the 2009 Fort Hood mass shooting.
Pentagon officials said last week that the execution of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who killed 13 people and wounded 32 others at Fort Hood, Texas, would be broadcast via livestream, a decision Mr. Trump initially said he supported.
But in private, Mr. Trump quickly began to deliberate with his advisers amid widespread criticism of the decision, and learned after the announcement that Mr. Hasan is paralyzed, according to several people familiar with his thinking. The president’s main concern was whether broadcasting the execution would deter other mass shootings, according to a White House official who was granted anonymity to discuss his thinking.
That's from the New York Times article.
Could it be the start of the end for Hegseth? His efforts to turn his military into one that is 95% Christina Nationalist (I'm figuring he would be ok with the rest being Right wing Jews, too) is not likely to be all that popular with many in the ranks, I suspect.
