Senator Mark Kelly comments during Pentagon investigation
Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) appeared on Meet the Press as the Pentagon investigates a video he recorded alongside other Democratic lawmakers. In his remarks, Kelly asserted that members of the U.S. military are fully capable of identifying unlawful commands while performing their duties.
“Troops can tell what orders are illegal,” Kelly stated, emphasizing the importance of military training and ethical decision-making.
Kelly added that respect for the rule of law remains a cornerstone of U.S. armed forces culture. He expressed confidence that military personnel understand when an order conflicts with legal or moral codes, particularly in sensitive or politically charged circumstances.
The investigation centers on whether the senator’s recorded message with fellow Democrats violated Defense Department restrictions regarding political activities involving service members.
Author summary: Mark Kelly said that U.S. troops are trained and able to identify illegal orders as the Pentagon investigates a politically sensitive video involving him.
