Department Of War Brings Accountability For Capt Mark Kelly, USN (Ret)
By Staff Writer
November 24, 2025
 

AFP reported recently on the video spearheaded by Capt Mark Kelly USN (Ret) that appeared to enjoin U.S. military troops to disobey direct orders from the Commander-in-Chief.

The Trump administration has responded.

OFFICIAL STATEMENT:

The Department of War has received serious allegations of misconduct against Captain Mark Kelly, USN (Ret.). In accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice, 10 U.S.C. § 688, and other applicable regulations, 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. This matter will be handled in compliance with military law, ensuring due process and impartiality. Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.

The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces. Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.

All servicemembers are reminded that they have a legal obligation under the UCMJ to obey lawful orders and that orders are presumed to be lawful. A servicemember’s personal philosophy does not justify or excuse the disobedience of an otherwise lawful order.

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

When I served during Viet Nam, it would be safe to say that most of the enlisted personnel weren't likely to go on to Harvard Law School.  I would imagine the same is somewhat true today.  Letting people decide what orders to obey, or not obey, would be like letting them decide when to launch nuclear weapons at Russia, a recipe for disaster. tiny nuke
