I have also heard that version, but I think it's kind of silly. Overly performative anger instead of practicality—just because a traitor is worse doesn't mean you shouldn't also kill the enemy when you have them both dead to rights. I think that the "shoot the traitor twice" version may actually be a case of the original quote or a variation on it being merged with a joke from The Office.

I don't think it's supposed to be pratical, it's making a point. Who only brings 2 bullets?
One bullet might not be enough to kill the traitor. The point is that you feel the traitor is worse.
