There are a number of very good reasons why typically military personnel are tried by the military. But it certainly is not always the case: service members have been tried and convicted of rape in Japanese courts very recently.
As this is a war zone, I think that technically the military court has jurisdiction. That said, as cruel as it may sound, these guys would get their just desserts at the gallows like Saddam (creepy cell phone video optional but effective). A message like that would do a lot more for US PR than anything else we've undertaken to address the (tone deaf) general Arab population.
