It has been a while since I even looked at the CMJ, but firing squad was the prescribed form of capital punishment. I'll do a little seach and see if things have changed.

I need to correct myself, sort of.

Since Pres. Reagan re-instated the death penalty in 1984 under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the prefered method is lethal injection. There are 18 "aggravating circumstances" which called for capital punishment.

Since this is a war-time situation, he can still be shot.
