But a sacrifice, as I've always understood the word, is made willingly and voluntarily. I do not believe that this gentleman intended that his son's life be taken in action, but to the contrary, that his son would live a long and happy life. To mistake loss with sacrifice may be rousing rhetoric, but it cheapens the virtue of sacrifice in some small, but real, way.

I think you missed the entire point of the speech.
Trump is saying that he will ban all Muslims from entering the country. In this case, Trump would have banned a hero from entering the country and serving in our military. How many teachers, police offices, firefighters, and doctors will Trump ban from the country? My neighbor is Muslim - He is a highway patrol officer. Should we prevent people like him from entering the country?
If a Frenchman or a German goes on a rampage in the United States, will we start preventing people from France or Germany from entering the US?
