1. The Germans that Roosevelt had summarily executed were plain clothes agents in our nation, on our shores. Far, far different than us going to Afghanistan and fighting and capturing a bunch of fools who were not part of an army, rather just farmers or similar ilk doing what they thought was defending their country.

2. Rules that we made w/o consulting them. Perhaps someone in their country signed onto it at one time or another but face it, these are zones in the gray area of governance. And with the poverty of these characters, expecting them to all have matching uniforms is unrealistic.

Besides, Batperson and Robin, you may recall our founding fathers didn't play by those rules all the time either cause to do so would have resulted in their certain slaughter by the vastly superior British forces and their aim was something apart from committing a fool's suicide.
