Pentagon threatens to court-martial Democratic senator over 'refuse illegal orders' video

The video could lead to his recall to active duty and possible court-martial under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the Pentagon said

The Department of War announced Monday that it has opened a formal review into allegations of misconduct against Democratic Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona over a video calling on service members to "refuse illegal orders."

The Pentagon said it may even call Kelly, a retired Navy captain, back to active duty to face court-martial proceedings or other administrative actions under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

"This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality," the department said, adding that further comments will be limited to protect the integrity of the proceedings.

The statement also underscored that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ and reminded servicemembers that "orders are presumed to be lawful" and must be obeyed. The department cited federal statutes, including 18 U.S.C. § 2387, which prohibits attempts to undermine the loyalty, morale, or discipline of U.S. forces.

"The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses," the statement read. "A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order."

Even though Kelly left active service years ago, the Pentagon could, if it determines his actions violated the code, bring him before a military court.

Such recalls are rare and typically reserved for serious criminal conduct, such as espionage, sexual assault, or fraud. Still, precedent exists. In United States v. Dinger (2018) and United States v. Larrabee (2020), military appellate courts reaffirmed that retirees receiving pay remain under the UCMJ’s jurisdiction and can be tried for offenses committed after retirement.

If the review concludes that Kelly’s comments constituted conduct "to the prejudice of good order and discipline" or a violation of U.S. code, which prohibits encouraging disloyalty or insubordination among the armed forces, he could face recall to active duty for a formal court-martial. Punishments under those statutes can include forfeiture of pay, confinement, or dismissal from service—though such outcomes are extraordinarily rare for political figures.

[mountaineer]

The Pentagon has opened a probe into “serious allegations of misconduct” against Sen. Mark Kelly that could result in court-martial proceedings, just days after President Trump accused him of seditious behavior.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth strongly implied that the investigation revolves around a recent video Kelly (D-Ariz) and five other veteran Democrats cut, imploring service members to “refuse illegal orders.” The video had drawn Trump’s wrath and accusations of treason.

“This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality,” the Department of War said in a statement. “All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ [Uniform Code of Military Justice] to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful.” ... https://nypost.com/2025/11/24/us-news/department-of-war-opens-misconduct-probe-into-sen-mark-kelly-after-trump-accused-him-of-sedition/

Retired general blasts Democratic lawmakers' 'irresponsible' video urging troops to refuse 'illegal' orders

Jack Keane says congressional Democrats undermining military chain of command on 'America's Newsroom'

[Smokin Joe]

That's the crazy part. There was some guy on Fox and he wouldn't define illegal orders either.

And sadly, most people will only listen to the assertation without requiring a backup explanation.

People read the headlines, not the story.
Often the story does nothing to support or substantiate the headline.
It's cheap pejoratives that are based on nothing, but gain credibly with those who don't think beccause the allegations are in bold print and a larger font size.
It is the headlines that are being used to manipulate those too lazy to find out.

Gallego Calls Hegseth a ‘Coward’ for Mark Kelly Investigation

Monday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was a “coward” for launching an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over a propaganda video that Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers made instructing military personnel not to follow so-called illegal orders.

Monday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) said Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was a “coward” for launching an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) over a propaganda video that Kelly and other Democratic lawmakers made instructing military personnel not to follow so-called illegal orders.

Gallego said, “I spoke to Senator Kelly as soon as I heard it, I got on the phone and called him, of course, to remind him that I am 100% here in support of him and that we’re proud of him and like him I will not be intimidated by this president or any of his lackeys.”

He added, they’re trying to intimidate members of the House of Representatives and Senate that were saying something that’s very common and very well understood among people in the military, something that we hear in boot camp and in reminders when we’re on active duty, that you don’t have to follow illegal orders.”

Host Kasie Hunt said, “What would you say directly to Pete Hegseth, the Secretary of Defense? Of course, renamed the Secretary of War about this issue?”

Gallego said, “I think number one you will never, ever, ever even be half the man that Senator Kelly is. You, sir, are a coward. And the fact that you are following this order from the president shows how big of a coward you are. And I can’t wait till you no longer are the Secretary of Defense.”

WATCH: Democrat Sen. Ruben Gallego Responds to Mark Kelly Investigation in Profanity-Laced Tirade, Says “F*ck You” to President Trump and Pete Hegseth – “This is F*cking Insane… F*ck Those Guys”

Junior Arizona Democratic Senator Ruben Gallego responded to the Department of War’s investigation into Senator Mark Kelly for urging military members to defy the President’s lawful orders with an unhinged, profanity-laced video statement while driving through Arizona.

“This is f*cking insane. We should all point out how f*cking insane this is,” Gallego, a former Marine, said.

He added, “And, you know, Secretary Hegseth, all these guys, bleep you guys. You’re not gonna be able to scare us.”

WATCH:

Gallego: This is f*cking insane. We should all point out how f*cking insane this is. Hey, this is Ruben Gallego, I’m traveling through Arizona right now, and I just see the news that Department of Defense is starting investigation against my seat mate, Mark Kelly. this is f*cking insane. We should all point out how f*cking insane this is. And, you know, these guys are trying to say that they’re not acting like fascists, they’re not trying to give as much power to this president as a king, that they should stop acting like it.

Democrats are getting more eloquent in their use of the English language, aren't they?  They remind me of a waitress I briefly talked with in Hong Kong 50 years ago.  She had a beautiful British accent and spoke fluent Chinese.  I was impressed.  I asked her how many languages she spoke and she replied 2 1/2.  Being puzzled, I asked what they were.  She said British, Chinese, and AMERICAN.  My brief conversation was obviously over.  But we can be assured the AMERICAN has gone downhill since then, especially in the District of Corruption.

Kelly is the only one that can be recalled to AD for this from the Seditious 6.


He's the one drawing a retirement check from the DoW.  That's makes him eligible to be recalled.


Crow didn't retire he just got out after his time was up on his obligation after ROTC.

So “Captain” Kelly, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order & discipline…but you can’t even display your uniform correctly.

Your medals are out of order & rows reversed. When/if you are recalled to active duty, it’ll start with a uniform inspection.

Now We've Got Dem Sen. Ruben Gallego Trying to Threaten Military Members If They Investigate Mark Kelly
Rusty Weiss
4–5 minutes

Senator Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is irate over news that his colleague, Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), is the subject of a Department of War investigation for taking part in a video urging military members to defy orders from their superiors.

So much so that he's seemingly issuing threats to anyone who takes part in that investigation.

A Department of War statement issued Monday stated Kelly had been accused of "serious allegations of misconduct" and that further actions against him are under consideration—including a potential court-martial or other "administrative measures."

Gallego, in an interview with CNN, warned service members that once President Trump leaves office, "there will be consequences” for participating in any military proceedings related to the investigation.

“Donald Trump is going to be gone in a couple of years,” he said. “And if you’re part of the military that is going after sitting senators, sitting members of Congress, and part of the weaponization of government, there will be consequences, without a doubt.”

Gallego went even further, suggesting military members would need to look over their shoulders once the Commander-in-Chief leaves office.

‘A Commitment To The Constitution’: Dem Sen. Mark Kelly Defends Mark Milley’s Alleged Warnings To China
By: Shawn Fleetwood
April 01, 2025
The Federalist

Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., defended former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley for allegedly telling his Chinese counterpart he’d warn Beijing of a prospective U.S.-led attack on China by the Trump administration.

The moment came during Tuesday’s confirmation hearing for retired Air Force Lt. Gen. Dan Caine before the Senate Armed Services Committee. President Donald Trump nominated Caine in February to lead the Joint Chiefs of Staff and fill the position of fired Chair Charles Q. Brown, a major proponent of so-called “diversity, equity, and inclusion,” or DEI, in the military. ...

In 2021, it was reported that while serving under Trump, Milley told his counterpart in the Chinese military that the U.S. had no intention of attacking China, and that he would “call [Beijing] ahead of time” if Trump were to launch such an offensive. A Milley spokesman released a statement that same year confirming the general’s talks with the Chinese. The statement did not specifically deny the reports of Milley allegedly informing his Beijing associate that he would warn China ahead of an impending U.S. attack.

When discussing the Trump Pentagon’s ongoing inquiry into Milley over the reported incident, Kelly, a Navy veteran, stunningly applauded the retired general for his alleged decision to notify his Chinese counterpart of any prospective U.S. offensive. ...
