Thank you Charlotte. I appreciate and honor your careful research and meticulous detailed recital of these incredible facts about Senator Mark Kelly and his stellar service to our country. It’s tempting just to ignore the hideous and shameful steps being taken by Hegseth, a traitor among traitors who would be drawn and quartered or hung in a different time.
You are a hero for bringing these truths to light. Keep up your terrific work.
Holy cow. What a phenomenally distinguished career and remarkable human. I'll be phoning my congressional delegation (all Trump lovers) to express my disgust with Hegseth. Thanks, as always.
Thank you. Breaktaking career. Good to know. But for what it is worth Hegspeth's actions would be just as anti-American if Sen. Kelly had gotten zero medals for his service.
Thank you for writing this and being Senator Kelly’s Champion!
While I appreciate Sen. Kelly, this is one area where Democrats need to stop being so “aw shucks” and start shouting to everyone what a big fucking deal they are.
Why didn't Dubya Bush write this? I want to know why Republican ex-Presidents are sitting by silent right now. I want to know why Republicans are Trump's little minions, rolling over for him like dogs.
Bourbon Pete charges that the Senator's reminder to service members is somehow a vio;ation of the USCMJ, but Petey's words Are criminally false charges and he could justifiably be called back for Court Martial. Let's see the real charges and see who is found guilty.
This column, like the column on the Arlington Color Guard, speaks to your deep understanding of and appreciation for the men and women who honorably serve their country. The cardboard cowboys who mistake bluster for strength and sledgehammers for policy seem bent on stripping out the meaning of honorable service and leaving a shriveled, politicized husk in its place. Pete Hegseth knows as well as we do that he is not fit to shine the shoes of Captain Kelly.
Thank you, Charlotte, for taking the time to chart the honourable military career of a most honourable public servant. Pete Hegseth isn't worth the dirt under Secretary Mark Kelly's fingernails.

What makes this so galling is that Don Taco is a draft dodger and never served a day in his life. Hesgeth is a wanna-be.
Even the military school medals Trump wore in his class photo were borrowed from a classmate.

Excellent post. It is disgraceful what the wholly-unfit-for-office Secretary of Defense is trying to do to Senator Kelly.
Not that it matters here, but where is Hegseth's military record, and how would it compare to an actual American patriot?

Thanks for your summary; this is such an absurd challenge from Hegseth, no doubt approved by Trump. Where will this stupidity end?
With you all the way, Charlotte. I'm lucky that he's my senator. Thanks for all the details. Wow, what a hero.

Sen Kelly rocks!
Thanks, Charlotte, for listing this impressive resume . Sen. Kelly is what Harry Dunn would call a “ruthless patriot”!
My military service pales in comparison. And I'm ok with that. It gives me role models to look up to in the following few chapters of my life.
As I tell my grandkids: Always do the hard stuff. Your life will be much more interesting.
