Rep. Jim Banks Fact-Checks Kamala for False Claim During the Debate that There Are No U.S. Troops in Combat Zones

EXCERPT:

BANKS: "I served in Afghanistan, I understand that we no longer have troops in Afghanistan, but do we still have troops in combat zones around the world?"
EDELMAN: "As you know, Mr. Banks, we still have some troops in Syria, some troops in Iraq, and we have other people obviously serving in the Middle East, both at air bases and at sea who are in areas where active combat is underway."
BANKS: "I just want to confirm that because last week Kamala Harris said, before the American people that, quote, 'today there is not one member of the U.S. military who is in active duty in a combat zone.' And I wonder to either one of you, why would she say that? Obviously there are troops in combat -- you just said Syria, Iraq, they receive combat pay, they are serving in a combat zone. Either one of you, why would she say that?"
HARMAN: "Well, she might be thinking about the fact that we ended the wars, for better or worse, in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that so there are no active wars engaging the United States.”
