Ex-Fox star Hegseth vows 'uniform inspection' for Sen Mark Kelly as he questions medals

By David Edwards
Published November 25, 2025 10:19 AM ET

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a former Fox News host with a history of drinking, insisted that he would conduct a "uniform inspection" if Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) is recalled to active duty, after he participated in a video reminding U.S. troops not to obey illegal orders.

"So 'Captain' Kelly, not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order & discipline…but you can't even display your uniform correctly," Hegseth ranted on Tuesday in a social media post. "Your medals are out of order & rows reversed. When/if you are recalled to active duty, it'll start with a uniform inspection."

The Defense secretary's post came after Kelly noted that he only learned of the Pentagon's investigation on X.

Hegsbreath will be wearing eggs on his own face if he persists in this bumbling around looking for something to criticize Kelly for.

What goes around comes around. When Democrats gain the House majority, he will be forced to crawl into his corner and hang his head in embarrassment when he’s finally held fully accountable. His unprofessional actions weaken the nation’s defenses and make the country more susceptible to compromising important confidential security matters.
