There are a lot of factors around military members and civilian law enforcement. Generally civilian law enforcement will let the military handle their own under UCMJ. Under UCMJ they can lose rank, retirement benefits, or get jail time and a dishonorable discharge. The prospect of losing retirement could be earth shattering g for these guys I imagine. Further complications are these SOF people have A LOT of classified information. The government absolutely does not want them testifying under oath about anything. UCMJ can take a long time to process similar to civilian cases. All that time the accused is with their unit, as usual.
