Description

Pentagon Cuts Senator Mark Kellys Military Retirement Pay: A Controversial DecisionThe Pentagon has decided to cut Senator Mark Kellys military retirement pay due to what Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called seditious statements in a video. Kelly, a retired Navy captain, faces this penalty for telling service members they can refuse illegal orders, which Hegseth argues undermines military discipline. The video, posted on X, sparked big reactions, with Hegseth demanding justice. Kellys fellow lawmakers in the video include Michigan Senator Elissa Slotkin and House reps Jason Crow and three ex-officers from Navy and Air Force backgrounds. However, only Kelly faces this direct hit to his pension as he is the only one still bound by the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Kelly has thirty days to respond to the pay cut decision, and further violations could bring even tougher actions. Checkout Solipillow.com
