Little Pete Hegseth Attacks an American Hero
Disciplinary action against Senator Kelly for adising soldiers to follow the law.
Let’s let self-designated “Secretary of War” speak for himself. The former Fox News weekend anchor posted an announcement that he is launching disciplinary action against former Navy Captain and NASA astronaut, and current U.S. Senator, for appearing in a video that reminds U.S. military personnel of their obligation to disobey illegal orders.
The post, made on X on January 5, was reported on by The Washington Post. The text is below:
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. As a retired Navy Captain who is still receiving a military pension, Captain Kelly knows he is still accountable to military justice. And the Department of War — and the American people — expect justice.
Therefore, in response to Senator Mark Kelly’s seditious statements — and his pattern of reckless misconduct — the Department of War is taking administrative action against Captain Mark E. Kelly, USN (Ret). The department has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings under 10 U.S.C. § 1370(f), with reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay.
To ensure this action, the Secretary of War has also issued a formal Letter of Censure, which outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly’s reckless misconduct. This Censure is a necessary process step, and will be placed in Captain Kelly’s official and permanent military personnel file.
Captain Kelly has been provided notice of the basis for this action and has thirty days to submit a response. The retirement grade determination process directed by Secretary Hegseth will be completed within forty five days.Captain Kelly’s status as a sitting United States Senator does not exempt him from accountability, and further violations could result in further action.
These actions are based on Captain Kelly's public statements from June through December 2025 in which he characterized lawful military operations as illegal and counseled members of the Armed Forces to refuse lawful orders. This conduct was seditious in nature and violated Articles 133 and 134 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, to which Captain Kelly remains subject as a retired officer receiving pay.
Jealousy has many faces. Put Pete Hegseth’s face on this action. But also remember my word of the year is consequences and the consequences will all be on Pete. He should be fired.
Just another attempt at distraction from:
The Epstein Files
High cost of everything
High cost of health care
Ignore the Kelly stuff. Mark Kelly did nothing wrong, and the courts will agree. It’s just a distraction. Kelly will lawyer up and this will end. Don’t lose sight of what’s more important.
