The Pentagon says it is investigating Arizona senator Mark Kelly for possible breaches of military law after the federal lawmaker joined a handful of other Democrats in a video calling for US troops to refuse unlawful orders. It is extraordinary for the Pentagon to directly threaten a sitting member of Congress with investigation. Until Donald Trump's second presidency, the institution in charge of the US military had usually strived to appear apolitical.
Although they did not specify which orders might be illegal, Trump has come under fire for sending the US military into American cities for poorly defined reasons, including amid peaceful protests against a massive and aggressive deportation campaign. Seditious behavior, punishable by death! Trump responded in a post on Truth Social. Each one of these traitors to our Country should be arrested and put on trial. He also reposted a message from another user reading: Hang them George Washington would!
