Now, I know we've trashed Snopes as fact checkers before, mostly for their far leftist opinions. However, if they are sticking up for Trump, instead of the normal hatchet jobs, I think we can assume they are probably right. A quick perusal of other hits, confirms the findings of Snopes.
"In sum, the claim stemmed from a story by The Atlantic, which relied on anonymous, second-hand reports of Trump's alleged words; there was no independent footage or documented proof to substantiate the in-question comments; and Trump vehemently denies that he once called service members "losers" and "suckers." While it was certainly possible that he said those things, Snopes was unable to independently verify the claim."

Perhaps we can put this to rest and quit perpetuating rumour and whisper campaigns?
