Sen. Mark Kelly Faces Pentagon Investigation

The Pentagon on Monday said that it was reviewing what it called "serious allegations of misconduct" against Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona for making a video with five other Democratic lawmakers that urged members of the military to refuse to follow unlawful orders.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, in a statement on X announcing the probe of Kelly, who is a retired U.S. Navy captain, said, "The video made by the Seditious Six' was despicable, reckless, and false."

Comments

"Five of the six individuals in that video do not fall under @DeptofWar jurisdiction," Hegseth wrote." However, Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ " and he knows that."

UCMJ is the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The Pentagon, in its own statement on X, said that a "thorough review of these allegations has been initiated to determine further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures."

Trump's a petty little B, and his Henchmen are unAmerican... and apparently too stupid to know the difference between legal orders and illegal orders.

Given their performance, there is NO REASON for any service member to ''assume' that an order from these Fascists is automatically legal... they've proven otherwise.

"serious allegations of misconduct"

There was none.

Telling the truth is protected by the 1st Amendment.

"further actions, which may include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures."

This is Trump's desperation acting-out. Heavy handed oppression designed to intimidate rank-and-file service members but also Congress.

It come on the day when the first wave of Trump's dictatorial lawlessness has been strangled in its crib. Let's hope that this nastiness fares no better.

Sec Hegseth should also investigate instructors at the military academies who tech the cadets the same thing as was said in that video, i.e., do not follow illegal orders.

" Like DEI "

The Trump Administration has its own DEI hiring program:

Dumb, Entitled, Ignorant.

I suspect there's a contingent that wouldn't mind finishing the job on his wife either.

Let's start making pariahs of our astronauts. Fine idea.
