Kamala Harris's Answer to Debate Question Angers Servicemember, Disqualifies Her to Be Commander in Chief

Vice President Kamala Harris is often criticized for not taking unscripted questions, not responding with substance to questions when she does take them, or not telling the truth when she takes them. Her recent time with Oprah Winfrey highlighted her challenge with all of that, but her answer to a question during the presidential debate against former President Donald Trump was even more concerning, as she spoke words that revealed herself unqualified to be commander in chief, evoking a strong response from U.S. military.

Harris said, “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.” Excuse the language from this U.S. servicemember, but we can all understand why he is outraged:

Her claim, which, of course, has been fact checked, is false, although some have tried to parse her words, which you can read about and see for yourself here and here, among other places. However, there’s this Fox News article, entitled “Military experts reject Harris' claim of 'no US soldiers in combat zones' as misleading,” which reports:

Robert Greenway, combat veteran of the U.S. Special Forces and former senior director for the National Security Council (NSC) during the Trump administration, noted that the U.S. has "continuously" deployed troops to combat zones since the 1991 Gulf War.

"The assertion is especially egregious, as she is the current VP and should know that we recently conducted a raid in Syria killing a senior ISIS commander, several U.S. troops had to be medically evacuated after another raid against ISIS in Syria," Greenway told Fox News Digital. "Several servicemembers were wounded in Iraq when Al Asad Airbase was attacked by Iranian sponsored terrorists less than a month ago, and our ships are under near-daily attack in the Red Sea."

Greenway went on to say that it is a “dereliction of duty” for a vice president not to know “of our military operations in combat overseas.”

Furthermore, a USA Today article entitled “Kamala Harris was wrong when she said there are no U.S. troops in combat zones,” states:

The U.S. maintains nearly 1,000 troops on bases in Syria and another 2,500 in Iraq, according to the U.S. Department of Defense. In Syria, U.S. troops are stationed to help prevent a resurgence of the Islamic State group. They play a similar role in Iraq, where they also help disrupt Iran's influence and supply lines to various militias.

The video from that angry servicemember has made the rounds, but I haven’t heard any clarification from Harris. (If it’s out there, let me know.) Is this something she should clean up?
