71. Not at all.
Harsh, well-deserved criticism is one thing.

Wishing FAILURE upon the Commander in Chief of the U.S. armed forces, and by implication the troops under his command, is quite another. It's no different than saying you wished FDR would fail (in his war against the Nazis or Japan or pulling the country out of the depression)--it implies the failure of him AND his troops/subordinates.

Planting those ideas in the minds of (relatively captive) U.S. troops under oath to obey the orders of their chain of command is yet another thing. It does not have to be tolerated and should not be.
