[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]https://www.vox.com/kamala-harris/371497/harris-troops-war-zones But none of this is “war,” according to the US government. A Department of Defense official, speaking on background, told Vox, “An aspect of military service includes serving in locations where hostile actions may occur. Those locations are designated by executive order and/or the secretary of defense. However, it’s important to note that just because a service member is in one of these locations does not mean they are engaged in war. The US is not currently engaged in a war and does not have troops fighting in active war zones anywhere in the world.” Harris does appear to have carefully chosen her wording — “active duty in a combat zone in any war zone” So… fact checking is hard, [b]and Kamala is good at this[/b]. [/quote] DP. No, she's not. She's being protected. It would have been quite easy for Muir to fact check her on that statement. There are "war zones" all over the world at or near where U.S. troops are stationed (and where they operate). They may not be war zones declared by Congress, but they are war zones nonetheless. If you deny this, tell that to the families who live there. But they're not Americans, so you don't really care what happens to them. More importantly, tell that to the families whose loved ones continue to get injured at our military bases around the world from terrorist strikes. But again, go ahead and hang your hat on a technicality because reality doesn't matter to you either. Also, don't look far for someone who misrepresented he was in a war zone carrying "weapons of war"....[/quote]
