USA Today fact checked Kamala Harris on her claim that no United States soldiers were in active combat zones. Harris said, during the debate with Donald Trump, “And as of today, there is not one member of the United States military who is in active duty in a combat zone, in any war zone around the world, the first time this century.” USA Today reported the following as an example of how Kamala Harris was wrong/lied:
One example of how U.S. troops are in harm’s way overseas: On the last day of August, a U.S. military-led raid in western Iraq killed at least 15 Islamic State group “operatives” who fought back with numerous weapons including grenades and explosive “suicide” belts. Seven U.S. soldiers were injured during the operation.
And in January, three U.S. soldiers were killed and 40 more injured in nearby Jordan when the base they were on close to Syria’s border came under attack by an Iranian-made drone.
Now there’s more evidence that Kamala Harris was wrong and/or lied. Collin Rugg shared more information on X that acts as evidence working against Kamala Harris and her claims. It’s quite odd that the vice president wouldn’t be aware of where her own soldiers were, especially those in harms way.
