That's silliness. It's not the anthem of the military. The services have their own songs. It's the anthem of the whole USA, and he was protesting a domestic nationwide issue.
The view that it doesn't matter which party wins, because they're both bad, is also silliness in my opinion, especially this year. "Both bad" doesn't imply "doesn't matter". But it's a fairly widespread view, and if he does have that view, it's not hypocrisy.
On the other hand, as I said, I do think it's silly, and I agree it's a damn shame. He could have motivated some of the people he inspired to vote, and didn't.
On the gripping hand, that's similar to saying, "if he agreed with me he should have done something else".
