Pete Hegseth threatened to recall Kelly to active duty and court martial him. He didn't go with that option because he wouldn't have been successful. Soooo he announced today that he is going to reduce Kelly's military rank and pension.
What did he to deserve these sanctions? He and 5 other Democrat Congresspeople had the AUDACITY to participate in a video telling members of the US military that they could and must refuse illegal orders. He was telling them not to break the law. Trump went ballistic and said that they should be executed. They. Should. Be. Executed. For. Telling. Military. To. Follow. The. Law.
This is insanity. The other 5 members are not being sanctioned because they don't fall under the purview of the Pentagon's jurisdiction. I don't understand the differentiation as they are all veterans but for some reason Mark Kelly is the only one who is subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has moved to strip a Democratic senator's military rank and pay after he released a video calling on troops to disobey orders.

This hurts my heart beyond measure. He does NOT deserve this.
I wish I had the words to say how I feel about this. Anyone who supports the '' Trump went ballistic and said that they should be executed. They. Should. Be. Executed. For. Telling. Military. To. Follow. The. Law.'' really needs to think of how they vote and who they support. This is pure evil.
