Untrue

wikipedia:
'Martial law is the imposition of direct military control of normal civilian functions of government, especially in response to a temporary emergency such as invasion or major disaster, or in an occupied territory.'

The military are still subject to law. The Confederacy were under martial law after the civil war. That didn't give the union army the right to go round murdering anyone they wanted.

If you are somewhere that lets the military do anything they like. There is a simple solution for almost everyone on this forum.

Get a plane home.
