No, it does not supersede his rights, especially when the order he disobeyed was unlawful. In fact, you can get punished in some cases where you obey unlawful orders.

What's the context with regard to lawfulness here? Doesn't seem like there was anything regarding orders in play here, lawful or not.

He was ordered to not post on social media "without exception". If that order was not lawful, and it wasn't, he should not be in the brig.

That's not fair to say.

He asked for accountability from military leadership that knowingly left Americans in enemy territory and executed a drone strike that killed children & civilians.

Thus far, the only accountability has been his removal from his position, which he already knew would happen when he made his initial recording.

He sounds like the only sane one in this scenario.

Sometimes people forget that disobeying orders and accepting the punishment is an option, and sometimes it may even be the more rational option. This situation reminds me of the author Colonel David Hackworth who appeared on TV and denounced the Vietnam war after he became disillusioned with the military bearuacracy.

Are you talking about POTUS? I don’t think Military Justice applies to him.
