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.

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 @DeptofWar jurisdiction (one is CIA and four are former military but not “retired”, so they are no longer subject to UCMJ). 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.
Because of the huge amount of “Reeeeeeee!” going on out there, I predict this is a bunch of noise with no follow-up.
I think the law says “whoever”...military or not.
” recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings “
Perfect.
He knew what he was doing and any risk of punishment was taken into account.
If they take action against Kelly it will make him a huge hero to the left. Make a martyr out of him and the democrats will want to elect him president.
Yes, they hate Trump and America that much.
So... a strongly worded letter, huh?
We’ve seen a lot of that lately. Big talk, nothing more: Venezuela is the current big talk topic.
LMAO!
Whether they actually do recall him to active duty and court martial him or not he has got to be having a hell of a bad day today.
He knows what he did and he knows he did wrong and bet nothing would be said or happen but he was wrong.
It is likely I will chuckle about this now and again for the rest of the week.
Hey Mark! Have a nice day!
Relocate trees from Pentagon courtyard. Construct gallows atop center pavilion. Have very loud function tests with dummies each weekday around lunchtime.
I picture pacing, phone calls up the yin yang, Xanax, whiskey sweat
This is not boasberg. There’s no smirking going on
“If they take action against Kelly...”
In other words, the Trump administration should be fearful of him??? That would mean he holds the big stick.
The Pentagon has no choice but to fry his sorry ass.
I like what Glenn Beck said: if this video happened in Russia, everyone would think a coup was happening.
Be still, my heart....
It says two or more persons conspiring for civilians (8 U.S.C. § 2384). For military, the USMJ applies at 10 U.S. Code § 894 - Art. 94. It applies to any person, no conspiracy required.
Bye, Bye, Naval Captain pension and elite health care!
This ahole gets drilled like he should, he can run after 2053.
I figure as much as well. I figure very long walks to nowhere and looking for a lawyer.
I’d volunteer a good former Marine JAG but I don’t want to help Kelly. Let him find his own.
