<We don't really need an exemption...> If our soldiers are on somebody else's soil, they do. No they still are not subject to this court's jurisdiction. If they are captured by some foreign power and subjected to trial by this court then any punishment would basically be vigilante justice similar to what you talk about at. To not be vigilante justice the punishment would have to be meted out by a legitimate authority. Neither the UN nor this court is sovereign over the earth and they are not a legitimate authority in such circumstances at least not with out an agreement by the interested parties.
