Well, in fairness, the president is still the commander in chief. I don't think it's customary for military officers to criticize their superiors - orders are orders. I really don't think it's appropriate to make these sorts of remarks on record while on duty.
Not that I disagree with his right as a private person to criticize the white house - but he should've waited until he's back home. You can't expect a commander to continue trusting his subordinates when they make these sorts of remarks on duty, simple as that. Hell, common sense - I know I wouldn't be surprised to get fired if I started talking this sort of thing about my boss and the managers while at my job.
