Pentagon to review Kelly remarks on depleted US munitions after Hegseth claim

Sen. Mark Kelly’s comments about depleted U.S. munitions prompted Fox News’s Pete Hegseth to refer him to Pentagon lawyers for allegedly disclosing a classified briefing; Kelly says the remarks came from Hegseth’s own statements at an open Senate hearing, not a classified session. The episode is part of a broader feud over Kelly’s conduct, including past censure attempts and a DOJ probe into a video about refusing unlawful orders, while a court blocked parts of the retaliation and the Pentagon declined to comment on the current review.

The book serves as a reminder of humanity's place in the universe and the need to preserve our home planet. The constitution does not require officials to be sworn in using a particular text.
