Traitors are hung. A firing squad is traditionally a soldiers death. Several of the military members executed after the Nuremberg trials for instance requested they be executed by firing squad. That request was denied.

He meant to say hanged

We have a special past tense for when a human being is the object of hanging

"Traditionally". Does that mean there were "extreme circumstances" that also deserved a firing squad?
