    It’s not easy to drag 19000 armed and trained men in front of a court where they might face the death penalty.

      They’d be losing access to the most critical thing that makes them effective: the US military’s logistics and chain of command. Without that they really are just some dudes with guns and a few fancy toys they won’t be able to keep operational or replace. And they could never leave the state.

      So as long as they aren’t causing too much trouble … just wait them out, then make an example of them in a military court.
