Hegseth announced on Monday that the Pentagon is taking steps to lower the retirement rank and benefits of Senator Mark Kelly, a Democratic senator from Arizona who was retired from the Navy, due to his call in a video released last November for active-duty military personnel to resist illegal orders. Hegseth stated that Kelly's remarks in the video were "incendiary" and part of his "reckless pattern of inappropriate behavior." Trump also criticized the video last year, calling it an "incendiary" act. Kelly has 30 days to appeal the decision, with the final ruling expected within 45 days. Kelly believes the investigation is essentially a political retaliation by the Trump administration. Senate Minority Leader Schumer quickly defended Kelly, calling the move a "despicable act of political retaliation."
