Last week, during the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia, PA, Khizir Khan, whose son was killed while serving in the military, attacked Donald Trump for ‘sacrificing nothing and no one’ and failing to understand the United States Constitution. The Khan family was asked to speak because they are Muslim.
When Trump responded, he was criticized for attacking a gold star military family. Apparently, even though they made a political attack in the most political arena in the United States, they were still somehow politically off-limits.
Of course, these rules didn’t apply when Hillary Clinton called Pat Smith, who lost her son in Benghazi, a liar after Smith’s speech at the Republican National Convention.
Now that the media has made it abundantly clear that Trump will not be allowed to respond to the family’s attacks, other media outlets have come out to refute the claims made by Khan.
See Gateway Pundit’s response on the next page:
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.
Amen!
Just difficult to see devoted Muslims joining the U.S. military
send him back where he belongs
Democrats an Muslims whats the difference??
What did Hillary and Bill sacrifice? Fifty years old and younger generation . . probably never heard of this!
Bill Clinton’s Military Career
Oh ! You didn’t know he had a military career ?
Bill & Hillary received about $12 million for their to-be written memoirs.
But here’s an assist for them since their memories are now . . getting old.
BILL CLINTON’S MI LITARY CAREER
Bill Clinton registers for the draft on September 08, 1964,
accepting all contractual conditions of registering for the draft.
Selective Service Number is 326 46 228.
Bill Clinton classified 2-S on November 17, 1964.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on March 20, 1968.
Bill Clinton ordered to report for induction on July 28, 1969.
Bill Clinton refuses to report and is not inducted into the military.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-D after enlisting in the United States
Army Reserves on August 07, 1969, under authority
Of COL. E. Holmes.
Clinton signs enlistment papers and takes oath of enlistment.
Bill Clinton fails to report to his duty station at
the University of Arkansas ROTC, September 1969.
Bill Clinton reclassified 1-A on October 30, 1969,
as enlistment with Army Reserves is revoked by
Colonel E. Holmes and Clinton now AWOL and
subject to arrest under Public Law 90-40 (2) (a) –
registrant who has failed to report…
remain liable for induction.
Bill Clinton’s birth date lottery number is 311,
drawn December 1, 1969, but anyone who has
already been ordered to report for induction is INELIGIBLE!
Bill Clinton runs for Congress (1974), while a fugitive
from justice under Public Law 90-40.
Bill Clinton runs for Arkansas Attorney General
(1976), while a fugitive from justice.
Bill Clinton receives federal pardon on January 21, 1977,
from President Jimmy Carter
Bill Clinton becomes the FIRST PARDONED FEDERAL FELON
ever to serve as President of the United States .
All these facts come from Freedom of Information requests,
public laws, and various books that have been published,
and have not been refuted by Clinton .
After the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, President Clinton
promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished ..
After the 1995 bombing in Saudi Arabia, that killed five U.S.
military personnel,
Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished .
After the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing in Saudi Arabia ,
which killed 19 and injured 200 U.S. military personnel,
Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished .
After the 1998 bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa ,
which killed 224 and injured 5,000,
Clinton promised that those responsible would be hunted down and punished .
After the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole,
which killed 17 and injured 39 U.S. sailors,
Clinton promised that those responsible be hunted down and punished ..
Maybe if Clinton had kept those promises, an estimated 3,000 people
in New York and Washington , DC , who are now dead
would be alive today .
THINK ABOUT IT !
It is a strange turn of events.
Hillary gets $8 Million for her forthcoming memoir.
Bill gets about $12 Million for his memoir . . yet to be written.
And here are two people who spent 8 years being unable to recall
anything< span style="FONT-SIZE:20pt;FONT-FAMILY:Helvetica, sans-serif;"> about past events while under oath.
THIS IS THEIR CULTURE. THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE.

THIS IS WHAT THEY DO : THIS IS THEIR CULTURE
Murder, robbery kidnapping, RAPE, SLAVERY, pedophilia BOTH little girls and little boys, theft of property, TERRORISM, GENOCIDE, BURNING CHRISTIANS ALIVE, Mass drownings,$#%&!@* female genital mutilation, physical assault on the streets, religious persecution, wife beating and$#%&!@*are just some of the satanic parts of sharia. (islimeic law) It is mandated in the Quran and re stated / enforced by todays muslime clerics. If you or anyone else don’t like it, well then you and anybody else must be beheaded. Look it up. Research what their fearless leaders proclaim. The Islamic State has stated its objective is to establish a global Islamic Caliphate and eradicate all other religions, particularly Christianity, the religion of the “crusaders.” It has engaged in genocidal activities throughout Iraq and Syria against Christians, Yezidis, and other ethnic and religious minorities. This is the new ISLIMEIC cultural diversity.
THIS IS THEIR CULTURE. DON’T YOU LIKE THEIR CULTURE ?
THIS IS WHAT THEY ARE. THIS IS WHAT THEY COME HERE FOR.
How many American Muslim can be trusted and loyal to American?
