And by the way, civilians tried in military courts is unlawful and unconstitutional.

Sec. 904 - Art. 104. Aiding the enemy
10 U.S.C.
United States Code, 2011 Edition
Title 10 - ARMED FORCES
Subtitle A - General Military Law
PART II - PERSONNEL
CHAPTER 47 - UNIFORM CODE OF MILITARY JUSTICE
SUBCHAPTER X - PUNITIVE ARTICLES
Sec. 904 - Art. 104. Aiding the enemy
From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov

§904. Art. 104. Aiding the enemy

Any person who—

(1) aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or

(2) without proper authority, knowingly harbors or protects or gives intelligence to, or communicates or corresponds with or holds any intercourse with the enemy, either directly or indirectly;

shall suffer death or such other punishment as a court-martial or military commission may direct. This section does not apply to a military commission established under chapter 47A of this title.

(Aug. 10, 1956, ch. 1041, 70A Stat. 70; Pub. L. 109–366, §4(a)(2), Oct. 17, 2006, 120 Stat. 2631.)

"Any person" pretty much covers everybody, civilian and military, doesn't it?

No.se

The statute you cited is the UCMJ which applies to military personnel and a very narrow slice of civilians working ina war zone .

The title of the statute indicates not only that it is in the UCMJ but that it specifically applies to military personnel. Moreover, civilians do not fall under military justice and are covered in other sections of federal code, triable in US federal Courts. The only exception are unlawful combatants fighting the US. They are deemed to be subject to military law when caught.
