Mark Kelly is under formal investigation by the Pentagon and Department of War due to allegations of misconduct after he and five other Democratic lawmakers released a video urging military personnel to "refuse illegal orders" and stressing loyalty to the Constitution. Only Kelly, as a retired captain, is subject to possible recall and court-martial under UCMJ, while others named in the video are not under military jurisdiction. Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Pentagon's spokesperson commented on the case, which has brought debates over military justice, political speech, and jurisdiction into focus.
