Once A Coward Always A Coward
Some of you may remember Army Sgt. Hasan Akbar. If you don't know who this dirt bag is take a second and read this first.
OK, remember this waste of flesh now?
Akbar killed two officers in his chain of command and injured several other soldiers while in Kuwait in preparation for Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.
According to the Tennesseean:
Akbar tries to overpower guard at Fort BraggBy LEON ALLIGOOD
Staff Writer
A former Fort Campbell soldier accused of killing two officers in a Kuwait grenade attack tried to overpower a guard in an apparent escape attempt today at Fort Bragg, N.C., the Army said.Sgt. Hasan Akbar, who served with an engineering unit of the 101st Airborne Division, tried to overpower one of the military police officers escorting him to a courtroom for a pre-trial motion.
Army spokeswoman Ellen A. Hart said Akbar was quickly subdued by other guards. During the incident, however, Akbar and one of the guards suffered injuries requiring medical attention.
The hearing was postponed until Friday. Jury selection in the capital case begins on April 6.
Akbar will be tried on charges that he killed two officers and wounded several others in a grenade attack that occurred as troops of the 101st were about to enter Iraq in January 2003.

The sad part about this whole situation is even after Akbar is convicted he will continue to live. The two officers who died in that tent in Kuwait won't have that luxury.
The military needs to crack down on this sort of behavior. Akbar is a murderer and he killed his own brethren. He needs to be put in front of a firing squad and save the taxpayers money!
SlagleRock Out!
That son of a bitch should have been court marshalled in the field and executed there, in Kuwait, he's just another Islamo-terrorist.

Summery Courts Marshall, conviction of multiple murder and treason in time of war, and execution by firing squad SHOULD have been the events following within a day of his crimes against his brothers in arms. With creamation and his ashes ignominiously dumped in the dessert of Kuwait.
