My condolences to his family and friends. He died a hero protecting his men, but the world is a much poorer place for his loss. The fact his men called Captain Kahn, "our captain" said it all about what a great man he was.

though I doubt I could keep from tearing up, I'd so like them to know how proud I was to hear and see them speak--not only for their heroic son, but for all our nation's Muslim citizens and immigrants.

What Donny Trump doesn't share with these brave men is courage. These heroes are all names taken the Vietnam Wall and share Donny boys birthdate. However these men did not hide/dodge from their countries call to the military. Whether Vietnam was a righteous cause or a bad war will be debated until long after I am gone. Here are some real Heroes.....

So.... No Donald you are not fit to stand on their shoulders and try to become President.... You are and will forever be a draft dodging yellow bellied cowardly chickenhawk. Unfit for command..

Notice it is always those who move to America that really understand our American government and founding principles while assholes like the Bundys can only spout the 2nd, and then only to manipulate the words for their own purposes.


To the Khans, I, (we), are glad to call you our fellow countrymen!
