US law does NOT apply to US military personnel deployed in combat.
Oh. Well I guess the military courts are just idiots then, right? You know more about the law than them.
OBVIOUSLY US MILITARY LAW DOESN'T APPLY TO SOLDIERS OVERSEAS

its perfectly OK and legal to make false statements, for instance, just so long as you're overseas and at war - is that your opinion?
Just remember everyone - I'm the dumb one for suggesting laws which make it an offense to lie to your superior officers apply during war time.
