          It doesn’t just cover service members, they would classify as appointed officials.

          “a bill to protect United States military personnel and other elected and appointed officials of the United States government”

          Edit: Jeez, just read it, it’s not even long. They would absolutely fall under it.

          The act gives the president power to use “all means necessary and appropriate to bring about the release of any U.S. or allied personnel being detained or imprisoned by, on behalf of, or at the request of the International Criminal Court”.

            Nah, this is worded poorly enough I am confident they fall outside the wording. Does it change anything except maybe we could sue the military for starting a war illegally (hah!)
