| [FoxNews] The Pentagon says there are 2,000 U.S. troops deployed in Syria, more than double what officials with the Department of Defense have been telling reporters for months. "We have been briefing you regularly that there are approximately 900 U.S. troops deployed to Syria," Pentagon Press Secretary Brig. Gen. Ryder told reporters during a press briefing on Thursday. "In light of the situation in Syria, and in significant interest, we’ve recently learned that those numbers were higher." Ryder asked to look into the numbers and said he learned on Thursday that there are about 2,000 U.S. troops in Syria. "It was explained to me these additional forces are considered temporary rotational forces that deploy to meet shifting mission requirements, whereas the core 900 deployers are on longer term deployments," he continued. "As you know, for many of our deployments, numbers will fluctuate from time to time, but given that this number is significantly higher than what we've been briefing, I wanted to let you know, as soon as I found out this information."

| #4 During debate with Trump, Harris said, "“There is not one member of the military who is in active duty in a combat zone in any war zone around the world for the first time this century.” no fact check from NBC on that no admission that they should have no admission that it was a false statement |
