Families of wounded vets rip Kamala Harris for brazen ‘no American troops in war zones’ claim as own admin lists many active combat areas

The vice president’s claims on the debate stage offended wide swaths of the military community because they fail “a basic kind of smell test,” said Michael DiMino, a fellow at the think tank Defense Priorities.

“If you’re in Jordan in the middle of nowhere to fight ISIS, and you’re getting attacked by Iranian drones and rockets on a daily basis, you’re in a war zone,” he said.

Harris was trying “to finagle a wording . . . to make a point we’re not engaged in all these conflicts — which we are,” he added.

“Those quibbling qualifiers ignore the fact American men and women in uniform are getting shot at on daily basis, and many just in the last eight months have died or been injured.”
