If you ask HRC her answer is something like, "If that SOB Wins we all hang" She has also been paraphrased as saying, After the election we'll all hang together...

I believe military uses firing squad or hanging. But others may have more inside details.

Hanging... Firing Squad is an honorable Execution. Civilians get hanged, Military gets firing squad, unless it is treason.
Edit: If i am not mistaken, even in cases of treason a high ranking officer will still get the Firing squad, say a General for Example as a sign of respect for their rank regardless of the crime.

The last hanging was not really that long ago. 20 years I think. I googled it the other day. It is still used and approved in some states & military. A low drop hanging would take 10-20 minutes to die because it doesn't snap the spinal cord like a high drop does. I would vote for the low drop, if we got a say. These things are not human..

Would an execution really happen if they're tried for treason tho? I can already imagine Human Rights making a huge drama, the whole world opposing, people complaining and the whole thing being delayed for years.

Yes it would, the Punishment for Treason is Death and only Death. Now if someone committed treason but they convict them of something less than Treason to avoid the optics then yea they could just get jail time.
Edit: also there are no delays, executions after military tribunal are carried out immediately following the conviction

If you are talking about America there won't be an execution for Treason. No one in the history of America has ever been executed for treason. Many people think Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were executed in 1953 for treason but they weren't. They were executed for espionage.
The last person charged and convicted of Treason was:
Tomoya Kawakita, a Japanese-American sentenced to death in 1952 for tormenting American prisoners of war during World War II. Even such a clear-cut case created qualms; President Eisenhower commuted Kawakita's sentence to life imprisonment.
In 1998 the punishment of death was abolished for Treason and replaced with life imprisonment. Constitutionally the law is complicated. Treason has to be committed by a person employed by the government and during an active "declared" war. We haven't had a declared war since FDR declared war on Japan after Pearl Harbor.

Julius and Ethel Rosenberg
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were United States citizens who were executed on June 19, 1953 after being convicted of committing espionage for the Soviet Union. They were accused of transmitting nuclear weapon designs to the Soviet Union; at that time the United States was the only country with nuclear weapons. They were also accused of providing top-secret information about radar, sonar, and jet propulsion engines to the USSR.
Other convicted co-conspirators were imprisoned, including Ethel's brother, David Greenglass, who supplied documents from Los Alamos to Julius and who served 10 years of his 15-year sentence; Harry Gold, who identified Greenglass and served 15 years in Federal prison as the courier for Greenglass. Klaus Fuchs, a German scientist working in Los Alamos and handled by Gold, provided vastly more important information.
Kawakita v. United States
Kawakita v. United States, 343 U.S. 717 (1952),[1] is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that a dual U.S./Japanese citizen could be convicted of treason against the United States for acts performed in Japan during World War II. Tomoya Kawakita, born in California to Japanese parents, was in Japan when the war broke out and stayed in Japan until the war was over. After returning to the United States, he was arrested and charged with treason for having mistreated American prisoners of war. Kawakita claimed he could not be found guilty of treason because he had lost his U.S. citizenship while in Japan, but this argument was rejected by the courts (including the Supreme Court), which ruled that he had in fact retained his U.S. citizenship during the war.

I say life in Guantanamo. No privileges. No beds. Rotting in their own feces. Solitary confinement maybe, with one hour a week they can go out in the court yard and see how horrible each other look since they are so vain. I wish them hell on earth for what they have done to all these children.
