We fought the following wars just so we could criticize our own leadership:
Revolutionary War, Quasi-War, 1st Barbary Pirates War, War of 1812, Second Barbary Pirates War, Civil War, Spanish American War, WW1, WW2, Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War, Grenada, Panama, Bosnia-Serbia, Iraq 1&2, Afghanistan, and about 100 other times and places. And in each one some boot on the ground criticized the President except the Revolutionary since we did not have one yet. Criticizing leadership, It's what we do as Americans.

All kidding aside, I suspect the issue at hand is the old idea that you praise in public and punish or scold in private. That maybe we should not air our dirty laundry so to speak.

I think the more interesting thing is that fact that we as American's have a right to publicly criticize the President or any leader or person for that matter and we have had that right for 227 years now. We were one of the first to really have that right, something most other people in the world only recently gained the freedom to do or are still not able to do.

Yup......when Obama was POTUS, it was perfectly fine......but now that Trump is in there, it's unpatriotic. Funny how that works.

Article is forced news. It's reporting on a poll that was taken for no reason other than creating news.
