It's worth remembering though that Einstein was a german jew during Hitler's rise to power. Seeing the very worst of human qualities exposed via the military system can certainly make one less than objective.
Of course, I'd like to think that he realizes that the same system he abhors ultimately crushed that evil, but sometimes emotion can run deep. He wasn't immune to human feeling.
