I did not hear him demean the soldier.... And I guess Hillary calling the gold star families of those who fell in Benghazi liars also makes her "not and American"???

"You don't DEMEAN American HERO's who gave their life for their country. And you don't denigrate their Gold Star Parents." No, you don't. Trump's managed to turn the Khans' 15 minutes of fame into 4 days and counting. I wonder if he was one of the people spitting on troops coming home from Nam. = VoteVets releases Gold Star Family Members letter to Trump, demand apology for all Gold Star Families “Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know.” WASHINGTON, DC – Family members of seventeen fallen service-members are writing to Donald J. Trump today, expressing their dismay at his treatment of the family of CPT. Humayun Khan, and demanding an apology. The letter was organized by Karen Meredith, a Gold Star mother who serves as Military Families Coordinator for VoteVets.org. The letter is below: August 1, 2016Donald J Trump725 Fifth AvenueNew York, NY 10022Mr. Trump, We are all Gold Star Families, who have lost those we love the most in war. Ours is a sacrifice you will never know. Ours is a sacrifice we would never want you to know. Your recent comments regarding the Khan family were repugnant, and personally offensive to us. When you question a mother's pain, by implying that her religion, not her grief, kept her from addressing an arena of people, you are attacking us. When you say your job building buildings is akin to our sacrifice, you are attacking our sacrifice. You are not just attacking us, you are cheapening the sacrifice made by those we lost. You are minimizing the risk our service members make for all of us. This goes beyond politics. It is about a sense of decency. That kind decency you mock as "political correctness." We feel we must speak out and demand you apologize to the Khans, to all Gold Star families, and to all Americans for your offensive, and frankly anti-American, comments. We hope you will hear us. Sincerely, votevets.org
