5:21Now PlayingSenator and retired Navy captain Mark Kelly is now facing a Pentagon “retirement grade determination” — a review that could lower the rank he’s allowed to retire under and reduce his pension — after appearing in a video reminding U.S. service members of a bedrock rule of military law: you must refuse illegal orders. That principle is not controversial inside the military — it exists to protect the Constitution from abuse — and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth himself once said the exact same thing on camera during Trump’s first term. So why is repeating settled doctrine now being treated as grounds for administrative action? Ring of Fire’s Jerrod Zisser breaks this down.
