Sacrifice is not essential for public office. What's the argument here is these people sacrificed the most important thing they could ever have for the country: a child. Because of that sacrifice, a little extra respect is earned for their opinion whether you agree with it or not. Trump's answer was to equate his "success" with their's.
Mr Kahn was referring to the casual way he was discussing stopping the vet people who do sacrifice for the country when he has not.
That you or Coulter can't see that is frankly shocking. It's not complex

That's just an argument from authority, regardless of whether the situation is emotional or not.
I don't consider their opinion any more or less valid, based on their sacrifice. And frankly, and argument could be made for the opposite. It would be a callous argument, of course.
