Firing squad use to be considered the honorable way to go befitting a gentleman.

The firing squad is traditionally considered a soldiers death as well.

Some of the members of the German army condemned to death during the Nuremberg trials asked for it but that request was denied and they were hung instead.

That guy is appreciated! I'll try and remember next time. I have a feeling this might come up again soon.

That's cus you're talking to Don Jr. Otherwise, you'd tell him to GTFO.

It's also useful because it's quick and effective.

During the Revolutionary War, British Army officer John Andre was captured by the Continental Army while ununiformed and carrying a message. Because of this, he was tried as a spy rather than a prisoner of war. The penalty for captured spies was death by hanging. During his trial, John Andre asked that he be given a soldier's death and executed by firing squad while wearing his uniform. His request to be executed by firing squad was denied, but the court did allow him to be executed in his uniform. So he was hanged while wearing his British Officer's uniform.

This is exactly what I was thinking of when I wrote that. Even our enemies were respectable back then. How far we have fallen.

WW1 was the last war fought with the old European Honor system. And that went to shit in the first 6 months as soon as the entrenching began.

So aggravating at times though. Gotta create stupid fucking drama for ratings.

The reality is when you have to execute thousands of traitors, bullets are the cheapest option

Can we use artillery like in north korea? Maybe one of those smart bombs with a camera in the nose so we can freeze frame on the stupid face they make before impact.

It’s appealing but undignified

We already look like a banana republic

The executions won’t be public unfortunately

I want a live stream though! I'm serious. NOTHING is believable anymore. Secret executions will be met with endless skepticism.

I want to see all these communists lined up in front of a trench and then our guys mow them down with MG42s.

Just get some M249s mounted on random Americans' vehicles and have a 90 degree radius so no one can go crazy and shoot each other, just the commies

240B. Only the Germans have enough MG42's on hand to do that.

240B far better choice.....shackle them to the wall and cut them in half. I was a 240b machine gunner 11b
