In this RedState article, Nick Arama reports on Sen. Mark Kelly’s comments about U.S. weapons stockpiles after a Pentagon briefing and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s sharp response.
- Kelly said on CBS’ Face the Nation that it was “shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines” after hearing a Pentagon briefing on U.S. munitions.
- He specifically referenced Tomahawks, ATACMS, SM-3, THAAD rounds, and Patriot rounds while discussing U.S. readiness.
- Kelly blamed President Trump’s Iran conflict strategy, claiming the administration entered the fight “without a strategic goal, without a plan, without a timeline.”
- He warned that depleted munitions could affect America’s ability to handle a future conflict with China or another major threat.
- Margaret Brennan pressed Kelly by noting that Admiral Samuel Paparo had recently said he did not see a major readiness cost to deterring China.
- The article argues that Kelly’s remarks raised concerns because they involved information from a classified Pentagon briefing.
- Critics online accused Kelly of potentially giving adversaries useful insight into U.S. stockpiles and readiness.
- Hegseth accused Kelly of “blabbing on TV” about a classified briefing and said Department of War legal counsel would review whether he violated his oath.
- Arama frames Kelly’s comments as reckless and politically motivated, especially given Democrats’ previous support for sending large quantities of weapons to Ukraine.
