THE LIE: "AND 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, THE FIRST TIME THIS CENTURY," HARRIS SAID. THE TRUTH: 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.
