WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon says that it is investigating Democratic Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona for possible breaches of military law after Kelly joined a handful of other lawmakers in a video that called for U.S. troops to refuse unlawful orders.

The Pentagon’s statement, which was posted on social media on Monday, cited a federal law that allows retired servicemembers to be recalled to active duty on orders of the defense secretary.

The Pentagon’s statement, which was posted on social media on Monday, cited a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the defense secretary for possible court-martial or other measures. Kelly served in the US Navy as a fighter pilot before going on to become an astronaut. He retired at the rank of Captain.

It is extraordinary for the Pentagon, which until the second Trump term has usually gone out of its way to act and appear apolitical, to directly threaten a sitting member of Congress with investigation.

1. Time for all veterans and US citizens to take a stand and defend those willing to have the courage

to speak truth to the public. The President cannot be allowed to unilaterally decide what is legal and what isn't. We must all support law and order or our society will devolve into nothing but chaos.

2. I'll stand with Mark Kelly over Trump the Traitor.

Any day. Every day. All day.

5. My guess is that SecDef Hegseth is behind this

6. No doubt in my mind that Kegsbreath is the driving force behind this,

and, IMHO, if he tries to recall Kelly back to active duty, it will badly backfire on him.

9. Yes!

7. More frivolous bullshit.

Until they are made to pay for their abuse and political weaponization of government and the law they will keep doing it.

8. Pentagone batshit crazy.

10. Oh FFS:

I'm so sick of Dime-Store Mussolini and his insecure white man Secretary Hegseth.

And once again, not one Republican objects.
