Evan McAllister was 23 years old when he fought in the Iraqi city of Ramadi in 2006. He killed men and buried friends. Eight years later, he watched the same city fall to the Islamic State.
To McAllister, a former Marine staff sergeant and scout sniper instructor, the war he fought was a harebrained mission planned by Republicans, rubber-stamped by Democrats and, in the end, lost to al-Qaeda’s brutal successor. The foreign policy establishment of both parties got his friends killed for no reason, he said, so come Election Day, he is voting for the man he believes answers to neither Democrats nor Republicans: Donald Trump.

The vast majority of veterans are fully capable of critical thought and not spring loaded to eat the media pablum of lies and distortions heaved against Trump.
Gold Star family? Mum’s the word.
Trump said a very short sentence about Mum being mum.
That short sentence sent the MSM into weeks of paroxysm
and apoplexy.
A new phenome, a politician laying it to the MSM. Nails them. And the MSM falls for it, repeatedly, and it drives them crazy.
The Donald plays the MSM like a fiddle, all others tremble at MSM might. ( Hillary Clinton is so afraid of the MSM, she has not given a presser in 278 days.)
You bet I’ll be voting for Trump.
Mum’s the word.
And because they know Trump didn’t insult the family.
My family is.
He did NOT insult a gold star family
Because he didn’t insult them. He made an observation in a calm reasonable manner.
this isn’t your everyday gold star family. Kahn is deeply involved with Madam Clinton (the dragon lady,)and was a bundler of donations from Muslim countries to the Clinton Foundation. He operated a play to play operation for Mid-Easterners to get US visas, and on and on. His son is a hero, Kahn is a louse.
They attacked him first. Just because they are a “gold star” family doesn’t mean they can lie...can want sharia BS in this country and be paid stooges of the clintoon criminal family. The hell with them. I’m a Veteran...Semper Fi. I am tired of such degenerates.
FWIW, this vet is voting Trump.
The Washington Pustule luvs them some Kinkylinks..
Donald Trump has shaken America to it’s core....It’s about time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Khan son might have joined the military to enhance a resume for later on, and had the misfortune for a shooting war to come along. No evidence, but it wouldn’t surprise me.
The father is a GHOUL feeding off his dead son.
He is a Gold Star ASSHOLE.
Uh, if that was an insult, man am I in trouble. Sticking with DJT!
It sure is funny and peculiar how the MSM always refer to the “Gold Star Family” that Trump supposedly insulted, but NEVER refer to the “Gold Star Families” whom Clinton lied TO and ABOUT concerning the fall of, and the fall OUT from, Benghazi!
I wonder why that is?!? I’m sure it is just an “oversight” on the part of the unbiased American MSM - right? RIGHT?!?!
Know your enemies; keep them closer than your own family. MAKES IT EASIER TO SLIT THEIR THROATS WHEN NECESSARY.
Thank you.
It just begs the question, why do these people post this lying media garbage over and over?
This is just another Trump hit piece. Funny how some people search out and post this sh*t on a daily basis and on this site of all places.
Very odd.
WP is part of the MSM, which is what most people read.
I think we need to know what they are saying and can comment on it.
No. Most get their news from the Internet. Lying network TV media rating are in big decline. It’s no secret.
