Pentagon Orders Navy Review of Senator's Remarks to Troops

The Pentagon has instructed the U.S. Navy to examine public comments made by Senator Mark Kelly. This action follows the release of an online video featuring the senator and other Democratic lawmakers. In the video, the officials urged American military personnel to refuse any orders they believe are illegal. The Pentagon has already announced a separate, wider investigation into the video's content. A new memo now directs the Navy to conduct a formal review of Senator Kelly's specific remarks. The military routinely investigates public statements that may question the principle of lawful command.
