“Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth moved on Monday to demote Sen. Mark Kelly’s (D-Ariz.) military rank over his participation in a recent video with five other Democrats, in which they reminded U.S. service members that they [must] refuse illegal orders from higher-ups [including shitbirds like Hegseth]. Hegseth said in a statement that the Pentagon has initiated retirement grade determination proceedings, also called officer grade determinations, with ‘reduction in his retired grade resulting in a corresponding reduction in retired pay.’ The Pentagon chief also said he issued a formal letter of censure, which ‘outlines the totality of Captain (for now) Kelly’s reckless misconduct.'” (01/05/26)
