Well, it looks like someone may be facing consequences for the Seditious Six video last week.
Secretary Hegseth expanded on this statement with a statement of his own:
The video made by the 'Seditious Six' was despicable, reckless, and false. Encouraging our warriors to ignore the orders of their Commanders undermines every aspect of 'good order and discipline.' Their foolish screed sows doubt and confusion — which only puts our warriors in danger.
Five of the six individuals in that video do not fall under [Department of War] jurisdiction (one is CIA and four are former military but not 'retired', so they are no longer subject to [Uniform Code of Military Justice]). However, Mark Kelly (retired Navy Commander) is still subject to UCMJ — and he knows that.
As was announced, the Department is reviewing his statements and actions, which were addressed directly to all troops while explicitly using his rank and service affiliation — lending the appearance of authority to his words. Kelly's conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.
You can't just tell soldiers, Hey, Orange Man Bad, so if you don't want to follow the orders of the president, we'll have your back.
On an historic note, Mark Kelly would be the first United States Senator ever court-martialed.
Sadly (for the Dems), that accomplishment would go to another old white dude!
