Murdoch Paper Torches Pentagon Pete’s ‘Embarrassing’ Failed Revenge Plot

The Wall Street Journal’s editorial board ripped into Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s “embarrassing” crusade against a U.S. senator after a federal judge found it amounted to “retaliation.”

Hegseth, who calls himself the “Secretary of War,” sought to strip Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona of his rank and pension after Kelly and five other Democratic members of Congress released a video citing the Military Code of Justice and reminding service members that they had a duty to disobey illegal orders.
