Are you arguing that a U.S. soldier, specifically an MP, would not
neccessarily
know that the above were illegal?

What the heck would be "illegal" about that?

If your prisoner is from a villiage where high tech means a mule cart and you
tell him the stuff you are putting on him is radioactive I can see where
someone would say it was illegal. The prisoner may fear for his life.

As far as I know the chemical components of the light sticks are non toxic.
