229DAKPentagon Moves to Demote Mark Kelly
Suck it, asshole. There's no appeal, as it's an administrative procedure not a legal one. Just ask James Grazioplene about it - he went from major general to second lieutenant.
LinkMy guess is that it will be one grade, since his screw-up was as a retired O6/Captain. So probably O5/Commander.

IndianaDaveThey have to do that thing from the old tv show "Branded" where they tear off his stripes and break his sword.
Mark Kelly is extra disgusting for trotting out his poor brain-damaged wife for anti 2A crap.

nhtagmemberDon’t care what they call the department as long as it’s more than a one grade reduction.
Lowest possible grade.

You are dredging around in the brain cell detritus in the bottom of my cranium with memories of "Branded"

Unfortunately, I don't believe they can make a case for anything but a one grade reduction. What he did to cause this was done in his present retired grade of O6/Captain.

Not to nitpick but 05 is Commander. O4 is Lieutenant Commander.
My gut says 04 Lieutenant Commander as it's considered a junior officer position, where 05 and 06 (his current rank) are senior officers.

I caught it soon after I posted and fixed it.

parabellum https://x.com/conan_esq/status/2008326167716053007- Mark Kelly does or says something outrageous or illegal.
- Mark Kelly enters the find out stage.
- Mark Kelly posts about how his wife was shot, implying he shouldn’t face consequences.
- Mark Kelly’s wife posts half an hour later about how she was shot, so her husband shouldn’t face consequences.
Weird, sick, cowardly stuff to hide behind your wife.

Sig2340I’d like to see Kelly demoted to Prisoner, United States Disciplinary Barracks (USDB), Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.

Nice euphemism for
prison .
I don't think Navy shitbirds go to Leavenworth. It used to be Portsmouth, ME, but that is very old info.

calugoKelly is getting what he deserves and I suppose he incorrectly assumed his position in congress and his retirement status made him untouchable. I served under Clinton and Obama and I retired before Biden took office I didn't like any of them, didn't agree with any of their policies but would never even thought to tell service members to refuse lawful orders. For far to long some members of congress have believed their untouchable and above the law but we have a administration in office now that has chosen to hold people accountable for their actions no matter if they're retired Navy Captain or federal judge interfering with ICE operations.

MikeinNCBe real nice if they reduce his pay to Cadet pay, then haul him in front of the Mast for his Special Court Martial.
Seditious fuck.

drtenb330Bring him back to active duty, then demote him, have him actually work again. Seems like he forgot what his service was all about.
