A viral video showing U.S. soldiers in a war zone reacting to Vice President Harris’ claim that there are "zero American soldiers in war zones" has sparked what many are calling the most brutal fact-check of the campaign season.
In a campaign season filled with heated fact-checking disputes, few moments have hit harder than a viral video circulating the internet that appears to expose a major misstep by Vice President Kamala Harris. During last week's presidential debate, Harris claimed that there were “zero American soldiers in war zones around the world.” However, a video captured by a group of U.S. soldiers stationed in a war zone at the time has emerged, providing what some are calling the most brutal fact check of the campaign.
The video, reportedly filmed by soldiers deployed overseas, shows their reactions as they watch the debate and hear Harris’ bold statement. In a stark contrast to her claim, the soldiers, still in harm’s way, appear stunned and frustrated, highlighting the disconnect between the political rhetoric and the reality of their deployment.
Shared widely across social media, the video quickly became a symbol of the tensions between political statements and real-world consequences. Critics seized on the footage to question the Biden-Harris administration’s understanding of military operations, while supporters scrambled to downplay the incident as an oversight in the heat of debate.
As the video continues to gain traction, it serves as a sobering reminder that fact-checking in today’s political landscape can go far beyond the media, sometimes coming straight from those living the reality on the ground.
