The Kent State Shootings where National Guards gunned down 13 students, killing four didn't happen in the 70s? We didn't have the Watergate Scandal or two attempted assassinations of President Ford? Remember 3 Mile Island nad the Iran hostage crisis? We didn't have The Son of Sam killings or the attempted assassination of Reagan nor was the U.S. Embassy in Beirut Bombed? The Night Stalker murders never happened in the '80s and Terrorists didn't Hijack TWA Flight 847? We didn't have New York Stock Exchange Suffers Huge Drop on "Black Monday" or see Pan Am Flight 103 exploded due to terrorist's bomb? Remember the Iran-contra scandal? This was just the tip of the iceberg. If you remember the '70s and '80s as all roses and ice cream you must have been ten.
BRAVO! Can't rep you, but you deserve it for setting the record straight.
US Marine And Navy Veteran Writes BLISTERING Open Letter To Khizr Khan: “Does it matter whether Mr. Trump has ‘sacrificed’? Has Ms. Clinton ‘sacrificed’ for this nation? How about Mr. Obama?”
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....
Respectfully,
Chris Mark
]
And the fact that their son volunteered to serve supports his parents' point that he was a patriot as well as a Muslim and that maligning all Muslims for the acts of a few is not who we are.
All the rest is BS and we all know it.
Mr. Trump is used to getting a pass for his outrageous accusations. Doesn't look like he's going to get a pass for this no matter how many letters from elderly veterans are posted on conservative web sites.
Not a single soul is "smearing a Gold Star Family" - isn't it interesting that Mr Kahn starts erasing all his online activity and even his Law Practice that depends on bringing Muslims into the USA.
What does he have to hide? Why do YOU suppose he did that?
He chose to politicize his son's Military Service - just has the mentality disturbed Cindy Sheehan did.
Cindy is clearly disturbed - Mr Kahn is clearly got a personal Agenda for personal monetary gain with his Law Practice. Why did he attempt to wipe (like with a cloth???) his online profiles?
Just a guess, but I suspect the attacks on this thread are mild compared to what he's personally receiving.
Keeping the weak minded (that's some of you) focused on nonsense, itty bitty feelings got hurt and we spend days on this story and ignore what's really going on, we ignore mass terror, blood in the streets, angry lives matter protests and on and on and on, death and blood in the streets of chicago, its like beirut, this isn't the america we grew up in, this stuff didn't happen in the 70s and 80s and all we're talking about is some silly verbal insults and ignoring everything else?
Shame on us.

So many people posting on this forum seem to lack a basic understanding of American history or events. There is even a thread accusing Obama for Capt. Kahn's death 12 years ago. I'm not kidding.
Can't help but wonder if some aren't citizens of somewhere else, France maybe or ??, and are just posting as a joke.

Donald ! Is that YOU Donald ?? If not, he has done a great job brainwashing some of his followers. You are starting to have the same rationale (or lack thereof) as The Great Orange Wonder.

Too many people in this country lack a basic education or have any interest in history. Heck, too many people today don't even follow current events or worse yet they follow them on 'conspiracy sites' and other less than creditable sources and they don't bother to cross-check anything thing they are told to believe.

Very true, I also recall the FALN terror bombing at LaGuardia, Black Panthers shooting police, the Weathermen bombings, Trump would have had a field day.
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant-General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle.
I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save.
I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom. Yours, very sincerely and respectfully,
Abraham Lincoln
You guys aren't even trying anymore, are you...
This is a new world, families that lose people in wars no longer sacrificed anything, someone is about to tell you Lincoln was wrong.
