Pentagon says it's investigating Sen. Mark Kelly for video urging troops to defy 'illegal orders'

SUMMARY

The Pentagon is investigating Senator Mark Kelly of Arizona over a video where he encouraged troops to disobey "illegal orders." This inquiry is rare, given the Pentagon's usual stance of political neutrality. The statement noted that Kelly's remarks could undermine military loyalty and discipline, referencing a law that permits recalling retired service members for court-martial. Kelly, a former Navy pilot, stated in the video that "you can refuse illegal orders." The Pentagon has initiated a thorough review of these allegations to determine potential actions.
