Perspective on Trump Muslim Soldier Remarks

In yet another attack on Republican Presidential Candidate Mr. Donald J. Trump we are reminded once again of the Left Wing Media’s Master Baiter strategies designed to deflect,  demean Mr. Trump every chance they get and not present the full picture. No parent should ever lose a child nor have to bury one. Sadly, every person who elects to join the Armed Forces takes that risk. Mr. Kahn died an honorable death irrespective of his religion. As a 4th generation Christian from Pakistan, and a Trump supporter, I am reminded that 9/11 was the direct result of Muslim/Islamic ideologies and hate.
 
 

• 9/11 Terrorist attacks by Arab Muslims resulted in the deaths of 2,792 unsuspecting innocent Civilians and many other personnel have died from health complications as a result of the cleanup after 9/11. New York is Mr. Trump’s hometown.

 

• There have been 6,853 deaths of Armed Forces Personnel as a result of Operation Enduring Freedom.

 

• Of those deaths, 2 of them have been Muslims.

 

• Whites make up 75.6% of the population, but 75.2% (3,525) of those killed were White Soldiers. 2 deaths equal .0567375887% of 3,525 White deaths.
  

 

• Blacks make up 12.2% of the U.S. population, but  9.3% (437) of those killed were Black Soldiers. 2 deaths equal .457665904% of 437 Black deaths.

 

• Hispanics comprise 14.2% of the U.S. population, but 10.4% (489) of those killed were Hispanic Soldiers. 2 deaths equal .408997955% of 489 Hispanic deaths.

 

• Many of the remaining numbers are also attributed to non- combat deaths and suicides.

 

• Currently we have over 30,490 that have been wounded in this War.
• Whites make up 25,254 (77%) of the wounded.
• Blacks make up 2,688 (8%) of the wounded.
• Hispanics make up 2,061 (6.3) of those wounded.

 
Mr. Trump is not negating the death of Mr. Kahn. He has done more to “trump” the cause of our Veterans than his opponent Hillary Clinton who is responsible for jeopardizing national security of the United States with her Email fiasco and private servers, and was directly responsible for the deaths of Americans in Benghazi.
