Seriously? I can think of a few people the constitution did not apply to, and they lived in the country.
The constitution is US Law, it is also civilian law, neither of which are applicable to non US citizens engaged in warfare against the US, most notably for people captured outside of the US.
This is really, really, really, fucking basic day 1 stuff.
