A letter to Mr. Khan. Excellent read.

[saintmichaeldefendthem]

How in the hell is the Khan family wrong, when it was TRUMP DOING THE ATTACKS FIRST??????? This thin skinned orange fuck, just like you white people think, yaw can just insult mf's and expect people to just back away....them days is over hommie, its time to put on your big boy panties and deal wit shit

Have you considered some anti-psychotic meds? They might help, because in the world of reality, Trump had never mentioned these people in his life before the convention.


.....just like the rest of us who had never heard of these opportunists.

There's no medication for what ails her.

Dear Mr. Khan,

I want to preface this letter by stating that I respect your son’s sacrifice for this great nation. By all accounts, he is a true hero that sacrificed himself in service to our country. For that I am thankful.

As a veteran, I watched your comments at the Democratic National Convention with a mixture of sadness, and anger. The United States has a military comprised of volunteers. Every single member has made the conscious choice to join the military and serve. There is not a single service member who has been forced into service. It is important for all service members (and apparently, their families) to understand that service to this great nation does not imbue one with special privileges or rights. I found your comments troubling when you said: “Have you ever been to Arlington cemetery? Go look at the graves of brave patriots who died defending the United States of America. You will see all faiths, genders and ethnicities. You have sacrificed nothing and no one.”

Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has sacrificed “…nothing and no one?”…has Ms. Clinton “..sacrificed” for this nation? How about Mr. Obama? Your comment stating that Mr. Trump “…has sacrifice no one” is alarming. Are you intimating that YOU sacrificed? Sir, your son willingly sacrificed himself. As a father I cannot imagine the pain you must feel but his sacrifice is his own. He was not forced to serve.

I am troubled that you would allow a party that has little more than contempt for the US Service Member to parade you into the DNC to denounce Donald Trump. Did you watch when protesters at the DNC booed and heckled Medal of Honor recipient Capt. Florent Groberg? Did you notice your party interrupting the moment of silence for slain police officers? Your own hypocrisy in not denouncing these acts and instead using the DNC as a platform to make a political point is disgraceful. The simple fact is that whether one served or sacrificed does not give greater power to their statements. One vote is as valuable as another. That sir, is why our Country is great. Your condemnation of one person for a statement while standing idly as your party disparages veterans and police officers is the height of hypocrisy.

To conflate the need to prevent potential terrorists from entering our country with the belief that ‘all Muslims’ should be banned is simply wrong and disingenuous. As a reminder, Mr. Trump said: ” “Until we are able to determine and understand this problem and the dangerous threat it poses, our country cannot be the victims of horrendous attacks by people that believe only in Jihad, and have no sense of reason or respect for human life,” The irony of your son’s own death at the hands of these very people in Iraq should not be ignored. I have little doubt that your son would have recognized the need to protect our country from these very people. In fact, he held is own troops back so that he could check on a suspicious car. Your son understood sacrifice and how to protect “his people”…’his soldiers’….’his fellow Americans’…

As you continue to make the media circuit and bask in the glow of affection cast upon you by a party that has little regard for your son’s own sacrifice, and veterans in general, I would ask you to consider your comments and your position more closely.

Respectfully,

Chris Mark

US Marine and Navy Veteran.

Great letter! Seems many are not happy with Mr Khans one sided vision about his son's death.

Seems a lot of people want Khan to shut up so they can continue their hatred against fellow Americans without anyone trying to make them feel guilty.

Especially our military.

Like he said about preferring people who don't get captured, the RWNJs prefer those who don't get killed in the service of their country.

I can't imagine losing a son, but his attacks on Trump are misguided grief IMO.

His attacks weren't misguided. Trump has made offensive remarks about Muslims. In particularly Muslim immigrants. Mr.Khan's point was that Muslim immigrants contribute to this nation just like any other American or immigrant of any other faith.

Now while some folks may think Trump's comments about banning Muslim immigrants is harmless, to a lot of Muslims that is offensive and alarming. If he is willing to ban Muslims for immigrating, what else is he willing to ban Muslims from? It could just stop at immigration but maybe he'll decide to put other kinds of bans for Muslims

Drumpf is an equal-opportunity hater.

He has said the worst things about Mexicans, Muslims, women and more. And every single day, more lies. Then, more lies the next day about the lies he told the day before.

Imagine 4 years of his insanity and paranoia and twitter fights and endless lawsuits and sucking up to Pooting and spending the US into an endless depression.

Christian crap from you as usual.

Did Drumpf trash talk YOUR loss of YOUR beloved son?

What is wrong with you people? Why do RWNJ TRAITORS have no appreciation of what its like to lose a child? Why do you assholes ALWAYS side against your own country?

No wonder so many hate you phony christians but honestly, I think you're just kind of sad and empty.

You're new here. We all expect proof of bogus statements like yours. Link to the actual video of him saying that.

Actually I'm not new around here. I actually joined this forum originally back in '08 during Obama/McCain election.

But that's besides the point. I will provide proof and I don't get how my statement was so bogus. He has talked about Muslims immigrants multiple times. It's all over the Internet.

Trump didn't do any of that. All you people know how to do is lie.
