Anything an American soldier does is judged under the U.S. Constitution, the UCMJ, and whatever Status Of Forces Agreement (SOFA) is in place with the local government. You won't see a U.S. soldier judged by Iraqi courts or required to obey the Iraqi constitution (except as directed by our own side) until we get a SOFA with them, which won't be anytime soon.
Right on target. Such irony. A person digs a whole and proclaims someone else dug it... Then they step in it themselves. Awaiting for someone such as yourself to throw them a rope. Question is, will they use the rope to climb out -- acknowledge their error -- or keep digging.
