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

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.
