"It all started on Monday when Hegseth replied to an X post by Kelly, who has been threatened with a court-martial for his participation in a video with other Democrats, telling active duty service members that they don't have to go along with illegal orders. President Trump has said the video amounted to SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH."
"So Captain' Kelly, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order & disciplinebut you can't even display your uniform correctly, Hegseth wrote. Your medals are out of order & rows reversed. When/if you are recalled to active duty, it'll start with a uniform inspection."
"The key to understanding these dumb tweets is Army Secretary (and close @JDVance ally) Dan Driscoll was tapped to help lead the Ukraine "peace deal" negotiations, while a cucked @PeteHegseth rage tweets from the Pentagon. Sorry you're at the kid's table, Pete :("
"While it does appear Hegseth is correct in his criticism of Kelly's uniform, many users have questioned if there are more pressing matters for the secretary of defense than rage-tweeting against a decorated Navy veteran and sitting U.S. senator:"
Pete Hegseth responded to Sen. Mark Kelly's social post and criticized Kelly's uniform and medals, noting alleged improper display and promising a recall inspection. The exchange followed Kelly's participation in a video urging active duty members not to follow illegal orders; the video drew threats of court-martial and was labeled seditious by President Trump. Social media users criticized Hegseth for focusing on Kelly's uniform while Army Secretary Dan Driscoll was tapped to lead Ukraine peace negotiations. The episode generated backlash questioning Pentagon leadership priorities and public messaging.
