SEDITION: Pentagon Launches Review of ‘Serious Allegations of Misconduct’ Against Mark Kelly

The Pentagon may call Kelly, a retired Navy captain, back to active duty to face court-martial proceedings over a video where he called on service members to refuse orders.

The lawless Democrats have gotten away with murder for far too long. Treason, sedition, political persecution, a soft coup, the list is mind boggling. Action is long overdue.

‘SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR’: Trump Demands Arrest of ‘Traitor’ Democrats for Incitement to Insurrection

NY Post: The Pentagon launched a probe Monday into “serious allegations of misconduct” against Sen. Mark Kelly that could result in court-martial proceedings, just days after President Trump accused the Democrat of seditious behavior.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth indicated that the investigation follows 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.

The review targets Kelly, the only participant still subject to military law as a retiree, after he and five other Democrats appeared in a 90-second clip calling for insurrection. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and many others, called it reckless and harmful to troop discipline, prompting citations of laws on loyalty and obedience. The review could lead to court-martial or other actions amid broader tensions over military oaths.

“The video made by the ‘Seditious Six’ was despicable, reckless, and false,” Hegseth posted on X. “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.

“Kelly’s conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately,” Hegseth added.

The despicable video urging @DeptofWar troops to “refuse illegal orders” may seem harmless to civilians — but it carries a different weight inside the military.

This was a politically-motivated influence operation:

☑️ It never named a specific “illegal order.”
☑️ It created…

Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) could’ve just apologized for telling US Military to refuse to follow orders. Instead, he went on a media tour rationalizing his seditious behavior and even used his own wife as a shield.

Now Kelly is facing a court-martial.

Legal accountability is coming. https://t.co/k3KlY2yCwI pic.twitter.com/T38vxmZWOn

Pentagon launches review of ‘serious allegations of misconduct’ against Mark Kelly

By: Filip Timotija, The Hill, November 24, 2025:

The Pentagon said Monday that it has received “serious allegations of misconduct” against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) and has initiated a “thorough review” of the allegations. It comes days after the senator, along with a handful of other lawmakers, called on U.S. service members to disobey any illegal orders issued by the Trump administration.

The Department of Defense said it had initiated an investigation 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,” the statement read. “Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.”

Kelly said Monday that he had upheld his oath to the Constitution through his time in the Navy and that his time in the military and at NASA was “in service to this country that I love and has given me so much.”

The senator said he heard about the the department’s review from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s post on the social platform X.

“If this is meant to intimidate me and other members of Congress from doing our jobs and holding this administration accountable, it won’t work,” Kelly said in a statement. “I’ve given too much to this country to be silenced by bullies who care more about their own power than protecting the Constitution.”

Kelly was one of the six Democratic lawmakers, along with Sen. Elissa Slotkin (Mich.) and Reps. Chris Deluzio (Pa.), Maggie Goodlander (N.H.), Chrissy Houlahan (Pa.) and Jason Crow (Colo.), who addressed U.S. troops in a video last week, telling active-duty military and intelligence personnel to defy any illegal orders from the administration, in light of the U.S. military’s ongoing campaign of taking out alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

Kelly retired from the U.S. Navy with the rank of captain. The senator deployed twice to the Arabian Gulf and has also worked as an instructor at the Naval Pilot School.

Following the joint video, which sparked pushback from their GOP colleagues, President Trump called the group “traitors” and accused them of being guilty of “SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said after the post that the president wants the lawmakers to face consequences but does not want to execute members of Congress.

Since then, the Democratic lawmakers who were in the video said they have received “disturbing” threats. Vice President Vance argued over the weekend that the Democratic lawmakers violated the law by telling U.S. troops to disobey illegal orders.

“If the president hasn’t issued illegal orders, then members of Congress telling the military to defy the president is by definition illegal,” Vance said.

The U.S. military has been launching airstrikes on alleged drug-smuggling vessels in waters on both sides of South America, killing at least 83 people whom the administration has called “narco-terrorists.”

Democrats and some Republicans have raised concerns about the ongoing operations, questioning the legality of the strikes. The Justice Department has argued in a classified opinion, which was drafted over the summer, that troops involved in the attacks cannot be held liable for them, which began in early September.

The Defense Department said “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.”
