US Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth wants Arizona Senator Mark Kelly, a decorated combat veteran and former astronaut, to be court-martialed for criticizing President Biden’s orders. But Hegseth is misreading the situation – Kelly has experience in leadership roles and was even considered as Kamala Harris’ running mate in 2024. Hegseth’s behavior towards Kelly raises questions about his own fitness for office.
In a more rational world, Hegseth would face consequences for his actions. Instead, he suggests recalling Kelly to active duty, which is not the right solution.
