Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth might have accidentally sabotaged his own effort to punish a Democratic senator and retired Navy captain who appeared in a video urging military members to disobey illegal orders.
Hegseth has threatened to call Sen. Mark Kelly back to active service so he can be court-martialed for appearing in the video, which also featured five other Democratic members of Congress with military or intelligence experience.
Of the group, the Arizona senator achieved the highest rank and is the only one who served long enough to retire with a military pension, which means he must still follow the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or UCMJ.
