"Six weeks ago, Senator Mark Kelly and five other members of Congress released a reckless and seditious video that was clearly intended to undermine good order and military discipline. The video in question reminded troops, You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders, prompting Donald Trump to write on social media that SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR should be punishable by DEATH."
"How many of Donald Trump's family have served in the military? Kelly motioned at the camera as he answered, Zero. He continued: Now, for me and my family, service to our country is in my blood. My great-grandfather served in the U.S. Navy after immigrating from Ireland. Both of my grandfathers served during WWII. Both of my parents wore uniforms my dad in the 82nd Airborne, and both of them as career police officers."
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the Defense Department is moving to strip Sen. Mark Kelly of his retired Navy captain rank, accusing Kelly of seditious conduct for releasing a video. Hegseth characterized the video as reckless and seditious and said it aimed to undermine good order and military discipline. The video reminded troops they can and must refuse illegal orders. Donald Trump responded on social media that "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR should be punishable by DEATH." Kelly condemned Hegseth's actions as outrageous and un-American and posted a video criticizing the Trump family's military record, recounting four generations of his family's service and noting Trump's draft deferments.
