Alas, the USA isn't signed up to the ICC.

Sure, but, if somehow they fell into ICC custody overseas...

Now wouldn’t that be sweet?

Luckily Congress passed a law with bipartisan support to protect US service members from ICC custody (commonly referred to as The Hague Invasion Act).

On foreign soil, US law can’t protect them. They’ll never be able to leave the US to any country who would be willing to make them answer to the ICC.
