Department of War Investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for ‘Seditious’ Video Urging Military to Disobey Trump
Olivia Rondeau
The Department of War (DOW) has launched an investigation into Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) that may lead to court-martial proceedings after “serious allegations of misconduct” were made against him.
Kelly, a retired U.S. Navy captain, has been facing accusations of “sedition” from President Donald Trump after participating in a video with other Democrats last week calling on military servicemembers and intelligence officials to “refuse illegal orders” from the administration.
In a statement posted to social media Monday, the DOW announced that it is aware of the severe accusations and has initiated a “thorough review” 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,” the department stated. “Further official comments will be limited, to preserve the integrity of the proceedings.”
To quote from Tom Wolfe’s masterpiece The Right Stuff, Kelly here done screwed the pooch.

I’ll say it FIRST. Recall!
Total Recall. Nah he’d probably like it there.
He’s an arrogant piece of shit who shamelessly used his wife’s shooting to his own advantage.
I met his brother, am alum of my own Alma mater. He’s an arrogant piece of shit too.
an alum*
damn… we can’t edit anymore?! Hah
This POS was trying show how easy it was to get an AR-15 which said he would give to the police, in effect a ‘straw purchase’ which is an automatic disqualifier and the owner of the store denied the sale of the weapons to him. Yeah…pretty easy to get a weapon.
From when giffords was a representative and before she was brain damaged.
I wonder if black robed circuit judges will will try to insert themselves into military matters.
More than likely. It’s proggie fashionable lately.
As dickless and gutless as the video was, it wasn’t actually sedition IMO. I’ve seen official classes about the same topic over my lengthy service that were more spicy.
The issue is more this particular message from these particular people. Their job isn’t to run the military or try to turn it into a political football gane that benefits no one. They do investigate legitimate complaints. If there is something to be done in that regard by all means attend to it. Otherwise stay away and let the military do its job.
I just think it is odd that Trump, who is a Boss level troll, was so easily trolled by the left. He is normally a lot sharper than that.
I’ve wondered why, despite multiple oaths taken in the military to uphold and defend the Constitution (enlistment, re-enlistment, officer promotions) there is no training in the rules of engagement. Less than 10% of the military (and civilians, for that matter) could even explain three amendments to the Constitution, much less how to proceed in the event of a perceived need to defend it. That is the purpose of the Supreme Court and a few of them are confused by some of the fairly simple words used in it.
The purpose of that video is to sow discord & chaos within the ranks and to get members to question ALL orders. Anybody think a 18-22 junior enlisted is going to catch the nuance of term “illegal orders”? Not when people all over social media are telling Guardsman that protecting lives and property is wrong. Some Specialist is going to refuse and expect ASSHOLES like The Seditious 6 to come to their defense. That prick Kelly is going to say refusing to stand guard a train station “…ain’t no My Lai”, so you’re on you’re own for that Article 15, 92, and 134. As with all political stunts, just imagine the melt down by all the talking heads if Republicans did this the The Auto-Pen’s Administration? These FUCKS know that the military members know NOT to follow illegal orders, but their reckless actions might put service members lives at risk. You think they care? How many times did The Auto-Pen & Dems go to Arlington to remember/honor the Abbey Gate 13? That’s all you need to know.
That one scrunt’s advice is: Snuffy, before you pull that trigger, you better stop and consult a JAG officer, cuz your orders might be illegal.
I agree it’s not sedition. It’s politics. It undermines good order and discipline. If anyone in uniform takes it seriously. Which is an insurmountable burden to prove, since who in their right mind would take advice from any of those clowns?
Don’t Walk, Run did a video compiling these morons defending their BS stunt. They do not come off as the best and the brightest. Especially Crow.
Consequences…
Kid appears to be going for the grounded (neutral) slot.
He’ll be OK for now but I see Signal Corps in his future.
That kid is like 80 by now.
That’s obviously an old photo.
Look at the haircut!
Are you sure he didn’t electrocute himself before he could reach 12 years old?
That may have been Bob’s last known photo.
Any Signal Soldier that never got shocked just isn’t trying hard enough. You could say he’s just not conducting himself properly.
No Grounds back then…
He’s going places. Not collage, but somewhere.
Ahhhhh, I too did that as a kid and my Dad was an electrician and then I too became one. Maybe this kid became an electrical engineer. Gotta get your start somewhere.
At this point, everyone should be familiar with this (apparently not for the idiotcrats):
Begin the Find Out part:
FBI, DOJ contact Capitol Police over Dem lawmakers’ controversial military video | Fox News
Mark Kelly: downgrade him to Representative and he’d be a real House Elf.
So, in my totaly ignorant, and valueless opinion, he’s an arrogant jerk, that feels the need to shoot his mouth off just to hear his own voice. You’re retired dude, no one cares what you have to say anymore.
However, and I haven’t followed this closely, if all he is doing is urging troops to not obey illegal orders, well, I got to agree with him.
Nah. The video clearly accused the Trump administration of issuing illegal orders, without specifying which orders were illegal.
It was a blanket accusation, and therefore seditious.
Agree, and I used to be a for realz lawer.
They are fishing for some schmuck to immolate himself, so those shitbags can then play political pattycake while their designated schmuck gets his nuts hammered.
“Let’s You And Him Fight!”
Shitbags gonna shitbag.
Democrat media doublez-down on threats to anyone who investigates Mark Kelly et al:
https://x.com/WesternLensman/status/1993705367084134469?s=20
So every troop needs to consult with a Lawer before obeying
any order they are not comfortable with?
Weasly worded mush from someone who should know better.
Haul his ass back onto active duty.
Kelly and his cohorts tiptoed right up to the line of fomenting mutiny / encouraging disobedience, then leaned wayyyy over it like a Michael Jackson video. The slick bastards knew exactly what they were doing, only inferred that Trump was issuing illegal orders, never actually came right out and said it. However… their intent to sow discord among the ranks and cause them to question every order was quite clear. If douchebaggery was a crime, they’d be doing life without parole. Fuck ’em all, Mark Kelly twice.
Any attempt to say its NOT political skullduggery by the DemoKKKrats is moot because how many times did they remind service members not to follow illegal orders under the Auto-Pen’s Administration? A. BIG. FAT. ZERO!
These 6 asshats stirred up the shit and should be forced to lick the spoon. They may be on solid legal footing but anyone with half a brain can understand their intent. Now, if Soldiers begin stating their orders are illegal when they clearly are not, can the stupid 6 be charged?
Most likely not, but the stupid 1 will.
PFC Schmuckatelli will be reduced to PVT, forfeit 2 months pay, 60 days extra duty, and restricted to quarters, chow hall, place of worship, and place of duty. Meanwhile, Kelly and his band of merry fucksticks will giggle with glee because they “got Trump”.
Inciting the National Guard shooting that just happened too…

I know him, always first in line at Golden Corral! Picked a roll off the floor and ate it.
THAT POS can go back to his homeland and volunteer to serve there if he’s the fighter he claims to be!
Nothing will come of this. Political posturing at the Pentagon is all this is.
The DOJ certainly doesn’t have the teeth nor the appetite to prosecute violations of the law within the Beltway, or much of anywhere else that I’ve seen.
My wife tells me that yet another staunch supporter of the military has chimed in with the “resist illegal orders” schtick. Ready for it?
Jane Fonda. (Didn’t say it was OUR military.)
Words almost fail me. Clean ones do.
She’s still around?
Apparently trotted out to show support, and to put an exclamation point on the matter. How old is she now, late 70s, early 80s?
87. Does that make her al elder stateswoman?
Hillary Clinton’s Yoda.
Evil never dies.
THAT commie traitor whore will do anything for the attention she craves.
And yet, we would be punished under UCMJ for responding to them like they deserve.
