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.
