民主党籍参议员乔恩·奥索夫周五称国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯是“一个严重有病的人”，因为后者计划下月直播一场行刑队处决。
Sen. Jon Ossoff (D) on Friday called Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth “a deeply unwell person” over his plan to livestream a firing squad execution next month.
奥索夫在MS NOW节目上表示：“我认为皮特·赫格塞斯坦白说……是一个严重有病的人，似乎沉醉于这种残暴之中。”
“I think Pete Hegseth is, frankly ... a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality,” Ossoff said on MS NOW.
五角大楼前一天披露了一个惊人的计划，将于12月3日直播对德克萨斯州胡德堡枪击案罪犯、前陆军少校尼达尔·哈桑的行刑队处决，这将是军方六十年来的首次处决。
The Pentagon a day prior revealed a surprise plan to livestream the Dec. 3 firing squad execution of convicted Fort Hood, Texas, shooter former Army Maj. Nidal Hasan in what would be the military’s first execution in six decades.
该计划一经公布立即引来两党猛烈抨击，议员们称这一想法野蛮且有损国家尊严与标准。
The plan immediately drew fierce blowback from both sides of the aisle, who have called the idea barbaric and below the country’s dignity and standards.
共和党籍参议员汤姆·蒂利斯（北卡罗来纳州）在X平台上写道：“哈桑应受死刑，但公开处决并直播？恶心至极。公开处决是伊朗和阿富汗等压迫性独裁政权的做法，不应在美国发生。”
“Hasan should face the death penalty, but making his execution public and streaming it? Beyond disgusting,” Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), wrote on X. “Public executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do. It should not be happening in America.”
前国家反恐中心主任乔·肯特因伊朗战争问题于3月辞职，他表示直播哈桑的处决“是我们道德上的污点”，且“还会给恐怖分子免费宣传素材，他们将利用这些素材煽动并招募更多像哈桑一样的恐怖分子。”
Joe Kent, the former head of the National Counterterrorism Center who resigned in March over the Iran war, said streaming Hasan’s execution is “a stain on our morality” and “also gives the terrorists free propaganda that they will use to radicalize & recruit more terrorists like Hassan.”
参议院军事委员会资深民主党成员杰克·里德（罗德岛州）在声明中表示，赫格塞斯的计划“是送给反美恐怖分子招募者的大礼”，且“绝对可耻，损害美国利益和核心价值观”。
And Senate Armed Services Committee ranking member Jack Reed (D-R.I.), said in a statement that Hegseth’s plan is “a gift to anti-American terrorist recruiters,” and “absolutely shameful and damaging to America’s interests and core values.”
哈桑是前陆军精神科医生，2009年在胡德堡开枪打死13人。根据赫格塞斯的说法，他将于12月3日下午1点（当地时间）在同一军事基地被执行死刑。
Hasan, a former Army psychiatrist, opened fire at Fort Hood in 2009, killing 13 people. He is set to be put to death on Dec. 3 at 1 p.m. local time at the same military base, according to Hegseth.
上一位被行刑队处决的美军现役人员是爱德华·唐纳德·斯洛维克二等兵，他因在法国战场上两次逃离部队被判犯有逃兵罪。他于1945年1月31日在该国被处决。
The last American service member to be put to death by firing squad was Pvt. Edward Donald Slovik, convicted of deserting his unit twice in combat in France. He was executed in the country on Jan. 31, 1945.
“我挺欣赏我们在二战时期的那种心态——就是要取胜，要明白当敌人发起攻击时必须坚守阵地，”赫格塞斯周四说道。自那以后，美军仅于1961年对因犯下强奸及谋杀未遂罪的下士约翰·贝内特执行过一次绞刑。在现代历史上，美军从未公开执行过死刑；美国最后一次公开处决则要追溯到近一个世纪前的1936年。奥索夫指责赫格塞斯“把时间耗费在这种令人发指的中世纪式酷刑上”，却无暇顾及五角大楼的管理工作，而后者如今“正陷入混乱状态”。
“I kind of like the mentality we had in WWII, which was win, understand that when the enemy attacks you, you stand your ground,” Hegseth said Thursday. Since then, the U.S. military has carried out only one other execution with the 1961 hanging of Pvt. John Bennett for rape and attempted murder. The U.S. military has never in modern history made an execution public and the last public execution of anyone in the U.S. was nearly a century ago in 1936. Osoff accused Hegseth of “spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle” rather than focusing on running the Pentagon, which he said is “falling into chaos.”
他进一步指出：“本届政府中身居要职之人，虽然我们心知肚明他们的问题所在，但他们的价值观已然混乱不堪，完全脱离了美国民众的日常生活；他们的外交政策不仅危及美国安全、浪费我国的国际影响力，还损害了我国在世界上的形象。”
“The folks who are in positions of power in this administration, and of course we know all these things, but their values are in disarray, they’re totally disconnected from the daily experience of the American people, and their foreign policy is endangering the United States, squandering our international power and destroying our image in the world,” he said.
