Last week, a handful of Democratic lawmakers had this to say to America's troops.

Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse

illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.

That was Senators Mark Kelly and Alyssa Slotkin, as well as Congressman Chris

DeLuzio. Democrats didn't specify what illegal orders they meant, but after the video's release,

President Trump posted on social media that the video amounted to, quote, seditious behavior that

he maintained that it was seditious behavior. And other members of the Trump administration

condemned the video as well. Here's White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt, speaking to

reporters on Monday. You can't have a functioning military if there is disorder in chaos within

the ranks. And that's what these Democrat members

were encouraging. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called the video, quote, despicable, reckless, and

false. And then the Pentagon launched an investigation into one lawmaker specifically. Arizona

Senator Mark Kelly, a retired combat pilot and astronaut. Here's Levitt again. I think what

Senator Mark Kelly was actually trying to do was intimidate the 1.3 million

active duty service members who are currently serving in our United States Armed Forces

with that video that he and his Democratic colleagues put out.

Hexath said that because Kelly is the only one of the lawmakers who received full military

retirement, he retired as a Navy captain, he's the only one still subject to military justice

and could be recalled to face a court-martial.

A move like that would be unprecedented.

Former military lawyer Kevin Carroll, who served in the first Trump administration, says it's most likely not a serious legal threat.
