A bipartisan coalition of 40 combat veterans, family members of military personnel killed in the line of duty and a veteran serving in Congress sent a letter to Donald Trump on Monday calling his criticism of the Muslim American parents of an Army soldier who was killed in Iraq "unacceptable" and an affront to each of them.
The letter, which was shared with The Washington Post and says it is not a partisan attack, was sent to Trump Monday via United States Postal Servicee, FedEx and Uber's courier service. It calls for Trump to apologize.
Organizers said they plan to add many more signatories by opening it up online for broader national participation. The list of signatories includes highly decorated combat veterans including Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer, who was a supporter of Ted Cruz's presidential campaign. Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), who served in Iraq as a Marine Corps infantry officer, is also on the list.
"To the military and veterans community, nothing is more sacred or honored than our Gold Star parents," says the letter, referring to parents whose children were killed in the line of duty. "Their personal sacrifice, the loss of a child, is the unimaginable. This week, when you chose to disparage the family of an American soldier who gave his life in combat, you chose to disparage all of us.
(Snip)
"I think this situation speaks quite well to Trump's blatant lack of fitness for office," said James Waters, a former George W. Bush administration White House aide and Navy SEAL. Waters said he is a Republican who is not voting for Trump.
Zach Iscol, a Marine combat veteran who served in Iraq and is a Democrat, said of Trump: "He bullies a lot of people. You do not bully a Gold Star family."

...”Khan has been exposed for Mooslim Brother and intimate contact of the Clinton Crime Family Foundation. He’s squealing like a little piggy to be left alone.”.....
He goes beyond that even....his law firm actively works to bring Muslims and their families here using the Visa programs and setting up businesses here, which are “free passes” to this country.
Certainly he’s a Shariah Law supporter as well....
They just used the guy to make their three prong hit.
True and now I have an old “enemy” pop up and trash me on a thread he wasn’t ever on and to whom I haven’t posted to in many years.
Oh, so he decided to troll around; how original of him.
I have my own personal troll here, my dear. He pops up once in a while when I least expect it. He did so yesterday.
A**holes, all of them.
I used to have a couple, three stalkers; which is worse. :-(
Some subhumans just don't have any hobbies, except for being complete arseholes; sadly. Then there are the masochists, who are too cheap to pay someone to give them their daily of monthly dose of public humiliation. *snicker*
Noticed. Thanks.
Oh, yes, we’ve beaten down a few together. I’m not usually on too much at night but the snowflakes and handwringers have been out of control tonight and needed some well-reasoned bludgeonings.
Don’t you love the smell of zot in the morning? Or in this case, around 5pm.
Forty — out of how many (too many) thousands?
I don't know what it is...maybe they all escaped from the insane asylum together; but, they're out in full force. *shrugs*
They are all over the place. Whack a-mole is fun for a couple of hours but this is a marathon.
Was someone handing out "free" pot and/or heavier stuff today, you think ?
Yes, Gary Johnson shared his bong with the Cruzites.
We have hundreds of thousands of former combat vets walking around and 40 sent Trump a letter. Its a tempest in a teapot.
LOL...figures.
First, I just want to thank you for your son’s service to this country, and I’m very sorry for your loss.
As far as Trump’s comments, the original comments (as far as I can tell) were on George S. I’ll post a link for you:

“The #nevertrump crowd will seize on anything and everything possible to put that ‘RAT Hillary Rotten Criminal into the White House.
This is nothing but the libtard ‘RAT media mouthpieces trying to lay down cover fire as their Muzzie boy Khan is being exposed for his membership in the Muslim Brotherhood (a terrorist organization) and his questionable activities in assisting other Muslim subversives in entering our Nation.
This is NOT the time to back down, dammit!!”
Spot on. The #nevertrumper cult on Twitter are passionately defending Kahn & slandering Trump. I asked some of them why didn’t they defend Patricia Smith & criticize Hillary. I also pointed out that with their loyal support of Khan, they were supporting the Muslim Brotherhood. It was fun seeing them squirm & become agitated. I love antagonizing those cretins.
I agree, never apologize. NEVER, EVER apologize. One of the best qualities about Trump is that he gives the media & the left (but I repeat myself) absolute Hell. He gives them no quarter. I’ve been waiting for such a candidate for, ever since I could vote.
NEVER apologize!
Well said CTgirl, once we (or Trump) apologize for speaking the truth, we might as well run up the white flag of surrender.
“For the record, Dakota might be an expert on a firefight. Beyond that, he’s just another schmuck. And gold star parents can and should be criticized when they are undermining freedom in America.”
Exactly. I suspect Dakota’s remarks didn’t sit well with his new Mother-In-Law. I hope Sarah tore him a new one.
As I’ve stated, it is very telling that these particular Gold Star families were silent when Hitlery denounced Patricia Smith & the other Benghazi families.
Very telling...
Needs to be reiterated!
