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.
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?
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.
Bye, Bye, Naval Captain pension and elite health care!
