If I get arrested for dispencing medical marijuana in California, a state where it is legal, by the federal gov., the state can't help me.
Likewise as an illegal combatant, you are not afforded constitutional protection when you are arrested as such, by the military. It is an issue of jurisdiction, and the military's jurisdiction trumps civil protection (in a time of war, in the context of all this jazz) until deemed otherwise by the courts, which happens on a case by case basis.
