A shocking development is unfolding in Washington, D.C., as a sitting U.S. Senator faces a military court-martial for what some regard as the most flagrant act of sedition in recent American history. With the Pentagon launching an official investigation and President Trump labeling it treason punishable by death, the unfolding drama involving Senator Mark Kelly could fundamentally reshape the landscape of Washington politics.
- Six Democrats, including Senator Mark Kelly, released a video urging military defiance against President Trump.
- The Department of War has initiated an investigation, potentially recalling Kelly for a military tribunal.
- Critics claim this action echoes historical secessionist sentiment and dangerously undermines military discipline.
Dubbed the "seditious six," a group of six Democratic senators and congresspeople with military and intelligence backgrounds have caused an uproar. In a video, they brazenly encouraged military personnel and intelligence officers to defy President Trump, branding his orders as illegal. The message was clear: "The commander in chief is out of control, and you, the members of the military and our intelligence agencies, not only can refuse illegal orders, it is your duty to disobey them!" This explosive declaration has drawn widespread condemnation, most notably from President Trump himself, who has demanded military tribunals for these allegedly traitorous acts.
The gravity of the situation escalated when the Department of War announced an investigation into Captain Mark Kelly, potentially recalling him to active duty for court-martial proceedings. It's a stunning turn of events; Kelly seems oblivious to the fact that his military status leaves him open to such actions. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth minced no words, condemning the video as "despicable, reckless, and false," emphasizing that five of the six Democrats are not subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice. However, as a retired Navy Commander, Kelly is still accountable under the UCMJ, and his actions are under review for undermining military order and discipline.
Adding fuel to the fire, Hegseth criticized Kelly's uniform protocol, pointing out his improperly displayed medals. "Captain Kelly," he remarked, "not only did your sedition video intentionally undercut good order and discipline, but you can’t even display your uniform correctly" as reported by Fox News. The Pentagon appears poised to demonstrate to D.C. the consequences of "effing around and finding out." But rather than retreating, Kelly is doubling down, insisting that the investigation won't deter him from his duties. He claims this is an attempt to silence him and other Congress members.
Kelly’s defiance, however, exposes a glaring weakness: the absence of any specific alleged illegal orders from President Trump. The seditious six have failed to identify any law that Trump's directives supposedly violate, rendering their call to action a transparent political ploy to disrupt the chain of command.
Walter Kirn and Victor Davis Hanson have both weighed in, with Kirn suggesting these actions are tantamount to inciting civil war. Hanson draws a comparison between Kelly's actions and those of Confederate secessionists, likening the video to the spark that ignited the Civil War. He deems the video a "dangerous example of insurrectionary nullification," highlighting the absence of any Trump order that would justify such a call for military disobedience.
Stephen Miller, deputy chief of staff, concurs, labeling the video a blatant act of insurrection and suggesting violations of federal statutes, particularly US Code 18 Section 2387, which prohibits encouraging service members to defy orders according to Victor Davis Hanson. The Trump administration is treating this as more than political theater. When military officers encourage troops to question their chain of command, and senators use their ranks to sow distrust, it threatens the foundation of civilian control over the military—a cornerstone of American democracy.
This isn't mere protest or dissent; it's a potential undermining of constitutional order. The Pentagon appears ready to handle it accordingly, and as this drama unfolds, we watch keenly, aware that the implications reach far beyond a single video. This is a moment that could indeed change everything.
