The Pentagon threatens a Democratic senator with being recalled to active duty.

The Pentagon threatened Democratic Senator Mark Kelly, a reserve captain in the US Navy, with being recalled to active duty to be tried for incitement to rebellion. This came after President Donald Trump warned Democratic congressmen who encourage military personnel to ignore orders from his administration that they risk the death penalty. The Pentagon reminded military personnel that they have a legal obligation to follow lawful orders, emphasizing that personal philosophy does not justify disobedience. Trump ordered the deployment of the National Guard in cities with Democratic leadership to combat crime and support immigration police activities. In response, six Democratic congressmen released a video urging military personnel to refuse illegal orders, and Trump accused them of treason.
