A little history for you. Bush did not pull us out of this International Court, he flatly refused to be a party in it. Our troops have never been or ever will be subject to international courts. Why? Soldiers and Sailors have the same constitutional rights as you do. That's why we make SOFA (status of forces agreements) with countries that we base troops in. These rights cannot be given away, ever. Remember each person serving in the US military has sworn the following oath.
"to protect and defend the constitution against all enemys, foriegn or domestic."
The United States of America will never agree to this treaty, ever. It is unconstitutional.
Why do you feel it would be appropriate to remove the rights from the folks that protect yours?
