Sen. Mark Kelly sues Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth
Kelly spoke about the lawsuit Monday afternoon on the Senate floor. “If Pete Hegseth succeeds in silencing me, then he and every other Secretary of Defense who comes after him will have license to punish any retired veteran of any political persuasion for the things that they say,” he said. “And by that logic, a 100 year old World War Two Veteran could be hauled in and censured or court martialed because he says something that Pete Hegseth disagrees with.”

Without evidence tying a retiree’s comments to concrete disruption within the ranks of the military, an Article 134 court-martial will likely fail. Kelly is no longer in the military, but his remarks were directed toward active service members.

r/Military on Reddit: This one is not satire unfortunately
November 24, 2025 -

Fuck...

...

I hate to be the one to say it guys...

Remember your oath.

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.

Pete Hegseth's reaction to Mark Kelly's military video is grounds for impeachment
However, Hegseth threatening a court-martial for these lawmakers accurately reciting the law — that is for them exhorting service members to do their legal duty and disobey unlawful orders — is beyond the pale. Because he’s trying to punish a lawmaker, Hegseth’s response is also a threat to the separation of powers, and represents a gross dereliction of the secretary’s duties running the Pentagon. What Sen. Kelly and his five Democratic colleagues said is not criminal – not under federal law and not under the unique military offenses that still apply to Kelly, who remains subject to the military penal code under a little-used Civil War-era statute extending the Uniform Code of Military Justice to certain military retirees.
