Jim Banks is a member of Congress who says that a video of U.S. soldiers shot overseas contradicts Kamala Harris’ claim that the U.S. military was not present in an area where there was active combat.
According to the Indiana Republican, who received the video from a member of the military, the video depicts a firestorm with bullets and explosives aimed at U.S. troops.
Due to national security reasons, it is not possible to disclose the exact time or location where the footage was filmed.
During her debate with former President Trump last week, Harris praised the efforts of Biden’s administration to remove U.S. troops from war zones like Afghanistan.
She said that for the first time this century, there was not a single US military member on active duty anywhere in the globe.
Banks said, “This video clearly shows that our soldiers are being fired upon.”
Banks is a veteran of Afghanistan and a member of the Armed Services Committee. He said that U.S. troops are regularly fired on.
“We still had troops in Iraq.” Banks said that there were dangerous threats everywhere. Kamala Harris is, however, lying to the American people right before the election by claiming that we don’t have troops in combat zones.
Iraq and Syria are designated combat zones. These zones are designated as combat zones. Troops serving in these areas are paid for their service.
In an operation last month, U.S. troops and Iraqi soldiers killed a senior leader of the Islamic State as well as other prominent militants. Total of 14 ISIS operatives.
The raid resulted in the injuries of five U.S. soldiers and two more were injured due to falls.
The Islamic State group seized control of territory in Iraq and Syria during its peak power in 2014. It declared a Caliphate in large parts of Iraq and Syria.
According to the Pentagon, military personnel have been deployed in dangerous areas but not because Congress has declared war.
According to a defense official, serving in areas that may be subject to hostile action is part of the military service. The locations of these sites are determined either by executive order or by the secretary of defense.
Officially, the official stated: “However, it is important to remember that a member of service’s presence at any one of these locations does not mean that they are involved in war. The U.S. currently does not have troops in conflict zones around the globe.”
