"Under an unlawful commander, every order is an unlawful order. This means that above all other citizens, members of the military have a unique stake in the matter of who is issuing military orders, and as a result, a very real right to get an answer to that question."

400? If correct, that total is far higher than I would have thought...or heard about.

If you take out the name of the individual in question, it would seem that this controversy was happening in a third world country.

"Under an unlawful commander, every order is an unlawful order"

You can tell this is the "Canada Free Press", the author has no understanding of US civilian or military law. Under US law, to include the UCMJ and military & civilian case law, that sentence is COMPLETELY inaccurate. Actions performed by a person acting under the color of official title even though it is later discovered that the legality of that person’s appointment or election to office is deficient. [Norton v. Shelby County, 118 U.S. 425, 440 (1886)]

IOW, so long as the authority is operating within the legal confines of the office they hold, everything they do, to include every order they issue, is legal.

It's a concept that is apparently out of the reach of this author.
