Duty

He told the truth: refuse illegal orders.
The law itself demands that soldiers question.

Mark Kelly demands that soldiers question
authority that contradicts their oath.

Because authority can contradict their oath
now contradictions accuse him of crimes for speaking law.

As Hegseth accuses him of crimes for speaking law,
he prescribes punishment designed to silence truth.

This political punishment designed to silence truth
warning all who serve or served: dissent will cost you dearly.

An example to those who serve or served: dissent will cost you dearly
but some debts to the Constitution must be paid.

And some honor debts to the Constitution and pay.
The truth survives: refuse illegal orders.
