If you commit a war crime against an Iraqi soldier in the process of obeying an unlawful order, you can get the firing squad.
I'd propose making civil rights violations under color of authority a capital crime. Much cheaper than settling lawsuits, and probably far more effective. Calling a refusal to show ID "probable cause" is definitely way too stupid to live.
Currently we literally protect enemy soldiers more than we protect our fellow citizens.

If you commit a war crime against an Iraqi soldier in the process of obeying an unlawful order, you can get the firing squad. Not quite. Military executions are now performed by lethal injection, per a 1984 executive order. There are now 7 condemned military prisoners facing death by lethal injection, the last military execution [by hanging] having taken place in 1961.

Indeed. Or so far as that goes, better than our own soldiers are treated.
