No more Pentagon dinners for Anwar Al-Awlaki

[Pathfinder]

Yes he did, He personally shot one of the SA leaders (I think it was Ernst Rohm ) on the "Night of the Long Knives"

No, he didn't. I don't believe he ever dropped a hammer on anyone, I have not read or heard of any instance where he did, although he did order Rohm's death in a prison cell. Rohm was given a pistol with 1 bullet, chose not to use it, and was executed by his guard.

This does not change Hitler 1 iota, and neither does his not having personally murdered anyone.

IF Awlaki renounced his citizenship, then all bets are off, he is not an American citizen. The missile was appropriate then.

I'll grant that IF he followed the State department rules for officially renouncing his citizenship. (It's govt. they have a form for that)
If he did not do so in the legally prescribed manner, and I have no reason to believe he did, then the US Govt has begun illegally assassinating it's own citizens.

Does anyone know if Hitler personally killed anyone? 

By "personally" if you mean held the gun and pulled the trigger....I don't know.   But pretty sure it's documented that he personally requested the execution of specific German citizens though.   Dietrich Bonhoeffer being one that comes to mind.

According to Wikipedia.

Bonhoeffer was condemned to death on April 8, 1945, by SS judge Otto Thorbeck at a drumhead court-martial without witnesses,

(I forgot to copy the link before I closed the tab, you can find it by googling his name )

The July 20th plotters were tried by "People's Courts". They were no more like our idea of a "fair trial" than one of Stalin's show trials, but they were in accordance with contemporary German law.
