Not always true, and those rights can be restored on appeal. In this case, you had something like what was routine in the USSR happen to this man. Justices on both sides of the ideological aisle are likely to side with the Marine in this case.

There was a military exercise performed in the years around 2004-2005 that had a modern US garrisoned fake town assaulted by a group of insurgents. The insurgents used motorcycle messengers and other types of visual signal communications, while the US had they’re encrypted, satellite based comms.
The insurgents successfully defeated the US Army because it was extremely difficult to intercept and prepare against a well coordinated attack in medium-sized force not susceptible to elint.
