In reply to the discussion: 'F*ck You Guys!' Sen. Gallego Goes Nuclear On Pete Hegseth Investigating Mark Kelly [View all]gfarber
(161 posts)37. Gallego Responds
There once was a DoD claim
That an astronaut stepped out of frame.
A PSA plea
Sparked a Pentagon spree,
And an inquiry swiftly became.
A secretary sounded off quick,
Calling six in a video seditious and slick.
He said Kellys display
Led the troops astray
A charge meant to seriously stick.
He warned that the captain, retired,
Still fell under rules once hed wired.
With a pointed remark,
He insisted the spark
Could bring actions the brass had required.
A senator traveling the state
Heard the news and declared it not great.
With language quite raw,
He expressed his deep awe
At what he called moves of the state.
Two lawmakers stood in a bind,
Accusations and warnings aligned.
With passions aflare
In the public square,
They argued what duty defined.
The Pentagon suddenly said,
Hey, Kellys gone wild in the head!
A PSA note
Made officials emote
Now theyre hunting his rank like it fled.
Hegseth hopped onto X in a rage,
Like a bard whod been booed off the stage.
He declared with great might
That the videos sight
Was seditiousand not for his age.
He warned, We can call him back in!
Yes, active-dutybegin!
Imagine the scene:
An astronaut Marine
Reporting while wearing a grin.
Gallego was driving along,
When the news hit him terribly wrong.
Are you kidding me, guys?
This is nuts! he replies
And he basically sang it in song.
So the senators suddenly found
That a PSA shook up the ground.
It took not a coup
Just a clip or two
To get half of D.C. spinning round.

OP
The fascists said being anti-fascist was terrorism, now the criminals say being against war crimes is treason.

Article 92 doesn't explicitly state that there is no obligation to obey an unlawful order. It does so my implication.

I know Sen. Gallego was driving while recording, so he had to split his attention, but we're not talking about a "right"
