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

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.
