First, his position of Commander of the VFW is an elected position. Second, you seem to be seeking acceptable situations and excuses when a Gold Star Mom and Dad can be attacked. The jury is in and the determination is that the answer to that question is never, or at least not acceptable in this case.
VFW just sounds out on Trumps comments to the Khans

Mr Khan and his son sacrificed nothing either. His son volunteered to join the Army. He served and was honorable, but he sacrificed nothing. Did he jump on a grenade to save a teammate? No. He was blown up by an IED doing his job. He's a good man, served his country and is one hell of an honorable man, but he sacrificed nothing.
WTF did Mr Khan sacrifice? Nothing. He's got no room to talk.

It was made on behalf of the VFW. End of story.

Yes, the Captain Khan did sacrifice to serve his country, and your comment is disingenuous at worst and wrong at best.

I stand corrected...I read the entire story.
His sons sacrifice is his own and Mr Khan cannot stand in judgement and say Trump did not sacrifice anything. What did Mr Khan sacrifice? He can't claim his son because that is his sons own sacrifice.
It appears that a key element of this issue and debate is simply the subjective and opinionated definition of "sacrifice". Trump has his own definition and his defenders seem obliged to fall in line behind it. From all appearances, the majority of Americans have a differing opinion and definition of the word "sacrifice" and consider military persons that are killed or become wounded as having made a sacrifice and the parents of those men and women to have made a sacrifice as well.

ACTUALLY the men and woman who serve in the armed forces (who DO make incredible sacrifices by the way) do not win by sacrificing themselves like lambs. This is something that is lost on most people because the Democrats have dictated to us what has been going on over the past sixty years with lies. The men and woman in our armed forces win by beating and defeating the bad guys which sometimes means KILLING them! Shock! Horror! (How could that be?! What a mystery!) So I go back to my point. Just because someone is in the government or the armed forces does NOT equate to them defending freedom and capitalism. Which if someone would address what I said in my last post you would see I have stated this already. The real question is when are the citizens of the U.S. going to stand up against their over reaching government, betraying media and educational institutions? I MUST say I do not think that they will because they have to smoke, drink, drug, and watch sports as well stay muffled with their hands tied behind their backs in order to appease people who "just want to get along". Not only bizarre and sad but profoundly disturbing.

Henceforth if you are a Muslim you are obviously serving the enemies of freedom and capitalism. Cobra Kahn can bark back whatever talking points of shit in our faces but it does not change the fact that he follows not a religion but a geo-political totalitarian system of submission which is called Islam.

Gold Star Survivors | The United States Army
The term Gold Star family is a modern reference that comes from the Service Flag. These flags/banners were first flown by families during World War I. The flag included a blue star for every immediate family member serving in the armed forces of the United States, during any period of war or hostilities in which the armed forces of the United States were engaged. If that loved one died, the blue star was replaced by a gold star. This allowed members of the community to know the price that the family had paid in the cause of freedom.
The United States began observing Gold Star Mothers Day on the last Sunday of September, in 1936. The Gold Star Wives was formed before the end of World War II. The Gold Star Lapel Button was established in August 1947.
Today, the nation recognizes the sacrifice that all Gold Star Family members make when a father, mother, brother, sister, son, daughter, or other loved one dies in service to the nation. The strength of our nation is our Army. The strength of our Army is our Soldiers.
The strength of our Soldiers is our families. The Army recognizes that no one has given more for the nation than the families of the fallen.

Go back and read my post again, little one...
There was a great deal in it that was highly critical - even insulting - of Attila the Hun; nothing you can say about him offends me.
That, however, does nothing to counter my point that the Khan family allowed themselves to be pimped-out at the DNC, for political ends.
Did the Khan's have every right or reason?
Of course... nolo contendre... nobody is disputing that.
Was it morally and ethically right to use their son's sacrifice to advance a political party agenda?
Nope.
It is the breach of ethics and morality here, for partisan purposes, which troubles me; not over what you Liberal silly-persons have to say about Attila.

On that much we agree... "Just because one CAN do a thing, does not mean one SHOULD do a thing."

Maybe not the VFW by itself with just 1.2 million members. But when one adds up all US military veterans alive today, that number becomes significant at 19.3 million. Adding the 1.4 million on active duty currently, that totals to around 20.7 million potential VOTES that could be influenced one way or the other...enough to tip a close election!
Sure there'll be some knuckle dragging piss drinkers who won't give a shit or would just vote for Trump under any circumstance, but Trump and Co. and their sycophants who think nearly 21 million potential votes don't matter might have a yuuuuuge hangover on the morn of Nov 9th!

Did I even imply a block vote? Or did I say,"...that totals to around 20.7 million potential VOTES that could be influenced one way or the other...enough to tip a close election!" DAMN, but you missed it by more than a lot!!
Are you too damn poor to pay attention? If YOU take your head out of YOUR ass, take a breath of fresh air and the time to read and understand a post before shooting blanks, you would reduce your embarrassment to a certain degree!

You blabber too much and are really not that important....sorry to deflate your balloon
Actually, I'm calling you out on your meltdown, asshole. Stop being a dumb ass.
The question is to provide a quote that you object to on Khan. You like the rest of the Democrats can't provide one, not one
