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.

Thank yoi for those true words.
Why doesn't the media cover things like this? It doesn't fit into their narrative of supporting the Obama/Clinton coalition.
Mr. Khan is being exposed as a hypocrite willing to trade on the combat death of his hero son for his personal gain as an immigration lawyer with connections to Clinton and Loretta Lynch.
How sad his son must be at his father's venal behavior.
Mr. Khan, you need to revisit Arlington and beg your son's forgiveness.
It's coming out that he's involved on another level with the Clintons. 'Nuff said.
Now that is a good letter.
Truthful.
Dave T: Bravo! Excellent letter. Thank you very much for posting this. I couldn't agree more with this commentary. Great job ! As for the lame stream media, what a disgrace.
My thoughts exactly. But expressed much better in this letter. Excellent letter. Couldn't agree more.
