Quote: Mr. Khan decided to use his son's death as a springboard for political opposition in support of his immigration business. He made himself fair game politically.
Absolutely. The guy works for an anti American company that sells visas to rich pay to players from the ME. At first I thought the party was simply using him, but it quickly became clear he's a hard core leftist who is just using his son's heroic service and sacrifice for partisan political gain. Shame on him for that.

As for the deplaning incident, I'm still assuming there has to be more to it than what's reported. The press constantly gets just about everything wrong (often intentionally) WRT aviation. One FA somewhere tells a lady to cover her nipple and all the sudden here come the SJW's protesting the evil patriarchal corporate devils who are anti-women anti-breast feeding anti-children blah blah blah.

I've seen nothing, and I mean nothing, but respect for military and their families. As in mass quantities of praise, free upgrades, gate area and cabin ovations, meals and coffees paid for, etc. I have never seen a single incident of disrespect. This story just doesn't add up.

The only thing I can think of is that maybe the way the PA was delivered, people may have thought it was just a VIP of some sort getting general preference. There is zero chance there would be boos if it was clear to people that it was a family going to retrieve the body of their heroic son. Well maybe if first class was full of the Berkely Student Council Safe Space Committee or something. Even then, they'd still probably be smart enough to shut their justice holes for the 15 seconds it took for the family to deplane.

How about POW's? Are they fair game? Trump likes "People who weren't captured" after all.

He was just digging on McCain and everyone knows it. No one (other than people who were opposing him anyway) actually thought he was anti-POW. It wasn't a very articulate jab, no doubt. He flopped on the execution of the zinger for sure. But we live in the age of 24/7 hot mics.

Everyone is so sick of the SJW who cried -ist so often that it just doesn't stick anymore. So they double down. And it still doesn't work. So they triple down. And it still doesn't work. So they dredge it back up. And it still doesn't work.

He's actually quite a bit brighter than most of you on this forum.

Trump is an asshat, but so is McCain, and so is Mr. Khan.

I saw related articles posted several places and think it is the ultimate click-bait media troll. There is nowhere near enough information provided to determine what actually happened, so everybody projects their imaginations and world-view upon the situation and starts to argue.

I would bet it is all an very uninteresting misunderstanding, but hey, that would not make the news.
