Active Military Members Hit Kamala With The Ultimate Fact Check
Daily Wire ^ | September 14, 2024 | Amanda Prestigiacomo

Active U.S. Military members responded to Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris‘ false claim during last week’s debate about the Biden-Harris administration supposedly removing all military personnel from combat zones.

“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, for the first time this century,” Harris falsely boasted during the debate.

During the debate, Harris was not fact-checked by ABC moderators, who have been widely ridiculed for their anti-Trump bias. Active military members, however, did chime in.

Video shows military members watching Harris during the debate, with the caption, “full of lies.”

After Harris makes her false claim, one of the military members turns the camera around on himself and other members and says, “So where the f*** are we, right now?”

As highlighted by those in active duty, tens of thousands of U.S. Military members are indeed serving in hostile areas and recognized combat zones.

For example, there are about 2,500 military personnel in Iraq, and around 900 in Syria, fighting Islamic State militants, according to the Department of Defense.

Moreover, a Reuters report from February points out that there are roughly 30,000 U.S. troops scattered in the Middle East, with thousands of additional troops sent to the region since the start of the war in the Gaza Strip, which was sparked during Harris and President Joe Biden’s tenure.

Harris’ response also seems to dismiss the sacrifices of military members who have been killed or injured on her watch, following the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan.

In January, for example, three Army Reserve soldiers were killed at a U.S. base in Jordan, during a drone attack from an Iran-backed militia, The New York Times reported. More than 30 other service members were injured.

Since then, eight service members were injured in a drone attack in Syria, and two U.S. Navy SEALS drowned during a mission tied to Iran.

Moreover, families of U.S. troops who have been injured following the withdrawal are harshly criticizing Harris for her lie.

Brad Illerbrunner, whose son was seriously injured in Iraq in December, said Harris’ remarks at the debate “really [hit] below the belt,” the New York Post reported. “She doesn’t even recognize that our own troops are getting hurt.”

“We’re still in war zones,” he said, adding that the VP is “trying to snow the public.”

Usually when a news program makes a factual mistake, they mention it as soon as possible. However in the 3 World News Tonight programs on weekdays (Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday), ABC didn’t issue a correction on the debate.
If JD Vance is willing, I hope he would mention the bias of David Muir and Linsey Davis in the vice presidential debate. I’d like to see ABC react to the vice presidential debate.

I wish these soldiers would get smart and give the camera phone to A BLACK FEMALE SOLDIER to ask the question to Heels - it will get media then. The alphabets just ignore the white males as “racist misogynists like Trump”

The greatest power the press has is the power to ignore.

I don’t think any of them will mention it.

VIDEO: 51secs: 31 Aug: Gateway Pundit: Military Deployed to Guard a Migrant Hotel in New York at ‘Request of the State Officials’: Report
by Jim Hᴏft
On Tuesday, citizen journalist Jason Goodman, founder of Crowdsource the Truth, captured footage of military stationed outside The Wolcott Hotel.
The Wolcott Hotel, located on West 31st Street in New York City, has recently been converted into a mega-shelter for migrants...

Goodman went back to the hotel and observed that U.S. military personnel had vacated the Wolcott Hotel shortly after the incident went viral...

There was something in the back of my mind that troubled me.

This whole Kamala episode reminds me of a Golden Girls episode, not just one episode, but many:

Kamala is the Rose Niland, from Minnesota, who is dumber than a box of Barbies, who never should be taken seriously, but accepted as the empty headed moron...portrayed by Betty White

.Okay America, are we ready for a Golden Girl World.

Funny, but dangerous as He!!.

We never signed a treaty to end the Korean war. So technically we are still at war with North Korea.

Kind of a big thing to miss with thousands still stationed in and around Korea.

Why fact-check Harris? Everybody knew that all answers would be total BS.

Not saying they’re not military but several time the word Army was used. From the appearance of the troops in the fotos they are likely NY NG probably transferred from their post at Penn Station, 5 min away to the hotel by order of Hochul. Possibly because Adams refused to assign NYPD.

I noticed similar semantics during the debate when the moderators said “ABC has not shared the questions with the candidates.” instead of saying “either candidate”. Well, yeah. They only shared the questions with ONE candidate, not ‘the candidates’.
