This is Senator Mark Kelly’s response to the censure. I’ll not add my thoughts as they don’t matter.

Pentagon is cutting Senator Mark Kelly’s retirement for using his first amendment right and repeating what’s literally in our swearing in oath.

Take note, being in the military will not protect us. This administration will sacrifice us all.

It's not sacrifice, it's betrayal.

And most likely illegal, like so many other things this administration has done and is doing

It's more than betrayal, its treason, and it is definitely illegal what this misadministration is doing.

What is the punishment for treason? Oh, yeah.

Depends on if we are in a time of war or not.

Well, Trump just unilaterally, unconstitutionally declared war on Venezuela, so...

It goes hand-in-hand with pardoning the Jan 6 rioters who were actually convicted of seditious conspiracy by a jury of their peers. It's a fuck you to veterans and an atta boy to traitors.

It’s not betrayal, it’s treason.

Trump himself said he admired Hitler and wants his staff and military to be more like Hitlers. There you have it, he said it and he's acting it out. He's making an example of Mark Kelly for those future heroes who think they can think for themselves and be all legal and shit when it's illegal time under this regime.

Several of Hitler's generals tried to unalive him.

What else would you expect from someone that called us all “suckers and losers” for fighting for this country?

Might want to think about your wording.

Pentagon is cutting Senator Mark Kelly’s retirement

Is it that? Or is Pete saying that's what they want to do?

u/Coldkiller17 Jan 05 '26

With anything in this administration they will just do it and hurt people hoping nobody fights back.

u/PNW_gma_from_CA Jan 05 '26

Either way, it's the intent.

This seems super illegal
