Gold star families of America why does ONLY Mr. Kahn have the moral authority to comment?

How many Americans have lost their lives in service to their country? How many Americans have lost their lives in service to there country fighting radical Islam?

The reason I ask is what is Mr.and Mrs. Kahn opinion on Donald Trump have any more merit than any other Gold Star Family?

With the thousands and thousands of American families that have lost loved ones in the war on terror alone.. I imagine you'll find every political opinion under the sun so why does mr. Khan's lost somehow give his opinion having greater weight?

How is mr. Khan's opinion on Donald Trump even relevant to the fact that he lost a son in 2004? Trump had no involvement in that At least the Benghazi mothers are directing their opinion Hillary based on Hillary having something to do with the death of their sons... Trump has zero to do with the death of Mr. Khan son

Is mr. Khan's son's death relevant to his political opinion on Donald Trump?... why is Mr.Kahn political opinion Donald any more relevant than any other mother our father that has lost a child in these wars with Islam?

If you are a gold star mother or father .. your opinion on Donald Trump or Hillary carries just as much weight as Mr. or Mrs Kahns so speak up

And if your family that has lost a loved one to Islamic Terror here.. as a civilian in your own country .

if you lost a loved one in Fort Hood, if you have lost a loved one in San Bernardino, if you lost a loved one in Orlando or if you even lost a loved one in 9/11 or in any other Act of Islamic terrorism in this country your opinion on Trump or Hillery carry as much weight as Mr. Khan's because you also suffered.. . So speak up because your opinion also matters, just as much as mr. Khan and you know there's different opinions than just his.

So make your voice matter and don't let one man and the DNC try and hijack the moral authority of all your losses

Khan was making an ahistorical argument (a logical fallacy by the way) that IF Trump were president when he and his wife were immigrating to America they would have been denied entry and therefore the US would have been denied a good decent family and a war hero. It’s a convoluted argument to say the least.

They also mischaracterized Trumps immigration policy.

The fact that they were on the stage at all was the Dems making the case that “see, Muslims are good and their sons are heroes” .... which might be true in one case but is not true in every case so it is an illogical point. But it is good propaganda. People fall for this simplistic stuff, especially if it is loaded with pathos.

They could have been put up on stage a Latino family whose son had been killed in Iraq to make the same mischaracterization about Trump’s immigration policy.

Yes, 2 Uncles in WWII, my oldest brother in Viet Nam (1968).

But I don’t parade that around or use it for political points.

Bless them all.
