(DCNF)—The Pentagon is launching an investigation into Arizona Democrat Sen. Mark Kelly after he appeared with other Democrats in a recent video explicitly urging military members to disobey “illegal” orders from the Trump administration, the Department of War announced Monday.
Kelly appeared with five fellow Democrats in the video telling service members their “trust” with the American people is at risk and urging them not to “give up the ship.” Kelly reminded members of the Armed Forces that they “swore an oath” and said they can “refuse illegal orders.” The clear implication was that such orders are being given by President Donald Trump, servicemembers should refuse to obey.
However, Michigan Sen. Elissa Slotkin, who released the video, admitted on Sunday that she could not name one illegal order that the Trump administration has given to warrant disobedience.
Kelly, who is a retired Navy Captain, remains subject to the Uniform Code of Military Justice and is eligible for recall as a retiree, as noted in the Department of War announcement. That status may not apply to other former military members in the video who are not retirees.
“The Department of War reminds all individuals that military retirees remain subject to the UCMJ for applicable offenses, and federal laws such as 18 U.S.C. § 2387 prohibit actions intended to interfere with the loyalty, morale, or good order and discipline of the armed forces,” the Pentagon stated. “Any violations will be addressed through appropriate legal channels.”
War Secretary Pete Hegseth called the Democrat lawmakers in the video the “seditious six” in an X post Monday while clarifying that Kelly was a retired Navy Commander and thus is still beholden to the Uniform code for Military Justice (UCMJ).
“As was announced, the Department is reviewing his statements and actions, which were addressed directly to all troops while explicitly using his rank and service affiliation—lending the appearance of authority to his words,” Hegseth said in his post. “Kelly’s conduct brings discredit upon the armed forces and will be addressed appropriately.”
The Pentagon declined to comment beyond the initial announcement. Kelly’s office did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
