WASHINGTON U.S. Sen. Mark Kelly alleged that President Donald Trump is sending a message that Americans can't criticize their government − after the Pentagon last week opened an investigation into the Arizona Democrat that could include recalling him to active duty for court-martial proceedings.
They're trying to send a message to retired service members, to government employees, to members of the military, to elected officials, and to all Americans who are thinking about speaking up, you better keep your mouth shut, or else, Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy captain, said at a Dec. 1 press conference on Capitol Hill.
The Pentagon announced last week that it was investigating Kelly for "serious allegations of misconduct." The move came after Kelly joined a group of Democratic lawmakers who released a video telling service members they have the right not to obey orders they believe to be illegal.
Trumps War Department in a post on X last week confirmed it would begin an investigation into Kelly that could include recall to active duty for court-martial proceedings or administrative measures. The post cited the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the federal law that outlines the military's criminal code.

(17,289 posts)they probably thought that the threat of a Courts Martial would shut him up, instead, it has had the exact opposite effect and it's backfiring very, very badly on them.
So what happens when the threats completely collapse and Kegsbreath doesn't get the Courts Martial he and Pedonald so badly want?

(17,289 posts)but Kegsbreath is so delusional that he thinks he's got Capt. Kelly by the short hairs, he's too fucking stupid to see the opposite is true.
I think that after the last couple of days of Pedonald and Kegsbreath throwing the military under the bus, there will be no call back to active duty, much less a Courts Martial or Administrative measures against Capt. Kelly, they've royally pissed off the military.

Of course faux newz will tell all the mouth breathers that they should all be held responsible but the deep state protected them

(39,734 posts)He has no right to threaten true-blue American heroes such as yourself and the others on that video.
You are right to speak to our military services and your message is completely legal and faithful to the Constitution.
Chump doesn't have a leg to stand on ... he's a bully and a coward. That is all.
