五角大楼负责人称“信口开河”的参议员马克·凯利“又作妖”

国防部长皮特·赫格斯周日暗示，亚利桑那州民主党参议员马克·凯利在机密简报后向新闻媒体发表的言论可能违反了他的就职誓言。
在被问及五角大楼是否已就伊朗战争对美国武器储备的影响向议员们通报最新情况时，凯利在《面对全国》节目中对玛格丽特·布伦南表示，“我们在这些弹药储备上投入之深，令人震惊”。
这位参议员告诉布伦南，用于防御美国的战斧导弹、陆军战术导弹系统（ATACMS）、RIM-161标准导弹-3（SM-3）、终端高空区域防御（THAAD）炮弹和爱国者炮弹都遭受了严重损失，并补充道，补充这些储备将需要数年时间，这可能会影响美国与中国之间可能发生的冲突。
作为回应，赫格斯质疑身为前海军飞行员的凯利是否违反了就职誓言，并表示五角大楼的法律顾问将审查他的言论。

“‘上尉’马克·凯利又作妖了，”赫格斯在X平台上写道。
“现在他又在电视上信口开河（虚假且愚蠢地）谈论他收到的一份机密五角大楼简报，”他继续说道。“他是不是又违反了就职誓言？@国防部 法律顾问将对此进行审查。”
这位参议员回击称，赫格斯在最近的一场听证会上也披露过类似信息，而且这些信息并非机密。
“一周前我们在公开听证会上讨论过此事，你当时说补充其中一些储备需要‘数年’时间，”凯利在X平台上回应道。“这不是机密，这是你的原话。这场战争正让我们付出沉重代价，而你和总统仍未向美国民众解释战争目标是什么。”
此事发生在赫格斯和凯利之间长达数月的争执期间，争执源于这位参议员与众议院民主党同僚一同发布视频，呼吁美军成员无视“非法”命令。
美国司法部已对这段发布到网上的视频展开调查，视频中有六名民主党议员呼吁军队和情报界成员违抗联邦政府的非法命令。这些议员都曾在军队或情报机构任职。
除凯利外，视频中的其他议员包括密歇根州参议员伊丽莎·斯洛特金，以及宾夕法尼亚州的众议员克里斯·德卢齐奥和克里西·霍拉汉、新罕布什尔州的玛吉·古兰德和科罗拉多州的杰森·克劳。

“本届政府正将我们身着制服的军人和情报界专业人士与美国公民对立起来，”议员们在视频中说道。“和我们一样，你们都宣誓要保护和捍卫这部宪法。现在，对我们宪法的威胁不仅来自国外，也来自国内。我们的法律很明确。你可以拒绝非法命令。你必须拒绝非法命令。任何人都不必执行违反法律或我们宪法的命令。”
大陪审团在2月份拒绝批准对这些议员的指控。
去年11月，五角大楼对凯利展开调查，依据的是一项联邦法律，该法律允许国防部长下令召回退役现役人员，以便进行军事法庭审判或其他惩罚。
赫格斯已谴责凯利，并试图追溯性地将他从退役上尉军衔降级，原因是他参与了那段视频，视频中重申拒绝非法命令是军事协议的标准内容。
但一项联邦法院裁决阻止了五角大楼因这段视频对这位议员进行降级处分。法院还发现，五角大楼在1月5日正式谴责凯利时，可能侵犯了凯利以及“数百万退伍军人”的第一修正案权利。
赫格斯随后对该裁决提起上诉。

上周，美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院的一个三名法官小组听取了口头辩论，且似乎大多对赫格斯因这段视频惩罚凯利的企图持怀疑态度。
“我不会在这场斗争中退缩，”凯利在听证会结束后说道。
唐纳德·特朗普总统曾指责这些议员是“叛徒”，称他们“最高级别的煽动叛乱”，并在视频去年秋季发布后“应该被关进监狱”。他甚至暗示他们应该因这段视频被处决，但后来试图收回这一言论。
曾在中央情报局和五角大楼工作过的斯洛特金在视频片段发布和特朗普随后暗示处决民主党人仅几天后，就收到了炸弹威胁。
Hegseth says Pentagon will review Mark Kelly’s public statements about classified briefing amid ongoing feud

Pentagon chief said ‘blabbing’ Sen Mark Kelly ‘strikes again’
Sen. Mark Kelly agreed with Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s move to lift the suspension of the Army pilots that flew by Kid Rock’s Nashville home, saying they shouldn’t be punished.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth on Sunday suggested Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., may have violated his oath with comments he made to a news outlet following a classified briefing.
Kelly told Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that it is “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines” when asked if the Pentagon has updated lawmakers on the Iran war’s impact on U.S. weapons stockpiles.
The senator told Brennan the Tomahawks, Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS), RIM-161 Standard Missile 3 (SM-3), Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) rounds and Patriot rounds used to defend the U.S. have been hit hard, adding that it will take years to replenish those stockpiles, which could affect a hypothetical U.S. conflict with China.
In response, Hegseth questioned whether Kelly, a former Navy pilot, may have violated his oath and said the Pentagon’s legal counsel will review his comments.

“‘Captain’ Mark Kelly strikes again,” Hegseth wrote on X.
“Now he’s blabbing on TV (falsely & dumbly) about a CLASSIFIED Pentagon briefing he received,” he continued. “Did he violate his oath… again? @DeptofWar legal counsel will review.”
The senator clapped back, saying Hegseth had revealed similar information at a recent hearing and that it was not classified.
“We had this conversation in a public hearing a week ago and you said it would take ‘years’ to replenish some of these stockpiles,” Kelly responded on X. “That’s not classified, it’s a quote from you. This war is coming at a serious cost and you and the president still haven’t explained to the American people what the goal is.”
This comes amid a months-long dispute between Hegseth and Kelly over the senator’s participation in a video with some of his Democratic colleagues in Congress urging U.S. military members to ignore “illegal” orders.
The DOJ has opened an investigation into the video posted online featuring six Democratic lawmakers calling on troops and members of the intelligence community to defy illegal orders from the federal government. The lawmakers all served in the military or at intelligence agencies.
In addition to Kelly, the other lawmakers in the video were Sens. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan, as well as Reps. Chris Deluzio and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Jason Crow of Colorado.

“This administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens,” the lawmakers said in the video. “Like us, you all swore an oath to protect and defend this Constitution. Right now, the threats coming to our Constitution aren’t just coming from abroad but from right here at home. Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders. You must refuse illegal orders. No one has to carry out orders that violate the law or our Constitution.”
Grand jurors declined to sign off on charges against the lawmakers in February.
In November, the Pentagon launched an investigation into Kelly, pointing to a federal law that allows retired service members to be recalled to active duty on orders of the secretary for possible court-martial or other punishment.
Hegseth has censured Kelly and has attempted to retroactively demote him from his retired rank of captain over his participation in the video, which affirms that refusing unlawful orders is a standard part of military protocol.
But a federal court ruling blocked the Pentagon from demoting the lawmaker over the video. The court also found the Pentagon likely violated Kelly’s First Amendment rights, and those of “millions of military retirees,” when it formally censured him on Jan. 5.
Hegseth subsequently appealed that ruling.

Last week, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit heard oral arguments and appeared largely skeptical of Hegseth’s attempt to punish Kelly for the video.
“I will not back down from this fight,” Kelly said after the hearing.
President Donald Trump had accused the lawmakers of being “traitors” who engaged in “sedition at the highest level” and “should be in jail” after the video was posted last fall. He even suggested they should be executed over the video, although he later attempted to walk that comment back.
Slotkin, who previously worked at the CIA and Pentagon, was targeted with a bomb threat just days after the clip and Trump’s subsequent statements suggesting the Democrats be executed.
