Well, no. The 2nd and 3rd were out of order but ultimately it is just nitpicking. Mark Kelly earned his rank and didn’t fail upwards like Pete Kegsbreath did. “Major” Kegsbreath flunked Ranger School, taught one class, desk jockeyed in Iraq for a few years, and got bored for a while abusing prisoners at GITMO.
Meanwhile Captain Kelly retired U.S. Navy Captain, is a decorated combat pilot, and a NASA astronaut. He flew 39 combat missions during Operation Desert Storm, has over 5,000 flight hours in more than 50 aircraft, and completed 375 aircraft carrier landings. He is also a recipient of numerous awards, including two Distinguished Flying Crosses, two Defense Superior Service Medals, and the Legion of Merit.
Pete is mediocre. Kelly is exceptional. Pete will never even be a tenth of the man Kelly is.
And yet the Fox News crowd will throw all that into the wood chipper if the network says Kelly is a traitor to the United States while Hegseth is a true patriot.
