The biggest difference between military court and civilian court is that more evidence is allowed to be entered (i.e. heresay) in a military court. The reasoning is that the international community recognizes that in a war setting, you CANNOT have police come in, tape off a building, spend a fews days gathering evidence, etc.

Now, we can discuss if this qualifies as a “war” setting. I have yet to see much on what the international community considers.
