I am not 100% sure but I do believe that the US military does still hang those who receive the death sentence or it is an option for the convicted.I think I read some place that the US military has not executed anyone in some time I think I recall reading that there where three or four guys at Ft.Leavenworth waiting it seems that a military execution(of a military member) requires the presidents approval.

I think of the others that Bush approved not long before he left office (two had been waiting since his dad was in office the other since Clinton's time) One had murdered Germans and other military members back in the early 80s the other had killed civilians near his base in the states back in the 80s and the last guy had beat a fellow solider to death because he was gay.

I am pretty sure if Hasan gets death he wont have to wait as long but who knows.Of course seeing as he is paralyzed that may effect how they go about it even if there are choices.
