I support the troops, but I will criticize the commander-in-chief during a time of war?

Ridiculous comparison.

Anytime the US is at war no one can criticize the President?

In matters of war, it is hypocritical to say to the troops "
Go get them! We support you!" and then to say that the commander was wrong to assign them to that mission. An honest person would simply say they do or do not support the entire enterprise. It is false to wish the troops well in their endeavor, and then to criticize the origniator of the endeavor.
