Pete Hegseth would be wise not to courts-martial Kelly.

There's too great of a chance that he will not be able to secure a conviction with the way the officer corps is fractured. Besides that, even if he does secure a conviction it will likely be overturned by a federal activist judge.

What he ought to do is simply recall him and assign him as a military attaché to the South Pole for a few years.
