(CNN)Khizr Khan on Tuesday accused Donald Trump of dodging the Vietnam War draft, and said he shouldn't have accepted a Purple Heart given to him at a rally earlier in the day, deeming it the latest sign of his inability to empathize with parents of fallen soldiers.
"You dodged the draft," Khan, a Muslim whose son was slain in the Iraq War, said of Trump to CNN's Anderson Cooper. "Put that Purple Heart back on that person's chest."
A military veteran supporting Trump had gifted the Republican presidential nominee his Purple Heart, prompting Trump to say he "always wanted to get the Purple Heart" and this was "much easier" than serving in combat.

Let's hope the RATs and the Drive-Bys keep to their ways and overplay their hand. Maybe Khan can write his book and join Cindy in a book signing somewhere...
Trump should respond to this and let us right wing attack dogs have at this ignorant piece of trash.
Yabbut yabbut, Hillary! enlisted in the Marines.
Khans son would be alive if Trump had been President in 2004. This lying pro Muslim immigration lawyer needs to be deported.
Anything to keep HilLIARy herself off the stage or TV.
The Dick Morris Rule is valid and applies, and they know it. It says any time HilLIARy is out in public her numbers go down.
People just don’t like her. Trump should play this up - make her forced to be on TV all the time to answer back.
I don’t think she has been live anyplace this week at all- not since she cancelled her appearances since no one is showing up.
hey, yo, kahn,
It is a military Vet who decided to gift Trump with a Purple Heart. Why are you attacking the Veteran?
it is more blessed to give than to receive. Trump accepting the Purple Heart has blessed that Vet. Why are you insulting the Veteran?
If Trump were able to serve this Country in the Military, he would have done so gladly and with a smile on his face.
kahn, crawl back into the hole from whence you came from.

And Trump’s last tweet on the matter said it all - also a very good line to use whenever it is brought up in an interview (as if that would be possible ;) ) that it was not an issue between him and Mr Khan, it was a question how to protect the US against islamic terrorism (I’m quoting from memory).
I think what will happen, and I think this is the best thing to do, is that Trump will hold on to the medal until after he either loses the general election, or is inauguarated. Then he will return the medal to its rightful owner along with a handwritten letter. He might include some frames.
LOL, yes, at least once.
That’s really good.
Maybe other vets will reinforce support for Trump and flood him with their medals. It would be a HUGE sacrifice, considering the significance of the medals. But we’re now in a battle of good vs evil, and some might consider it “worth it”.
That could shut Khan’s and the MSM’s pie-holes.
Send Khan to Gitmo and waterboard his sorry butt.
Cindy Khan is just another political whoremaster standing on his dead son’s coffin.
Shame on him.
This is all the moron Trump’s fault. He could have made this go away in 30 seconds, but chose to take the bait. Immature idiot will never be elected. Now the media has the anti-Trump bulldog they always needed.
Mr. Kahn that purple heart was earned by the vet they gave it to Donald Trump
it’s that vets right to give and you have no right to stick your nose in and say what that man can to do with his Purple Heart.
Mr. Kahn that the problem.. you think only YOUR voice should matter you think you’re the only Gold Star Family
His draft # was 356....unlikely to be called.
Down Khan! Down!
