Sorry Joe Biden. Ameican Solidiers did die after President Trump left office. Just ask the Pentagon.
In Thursdays debate, Biden claimed that not one soldier died under his watch. Not counting training exercises, 16 died. There have been 16 U.S. troops killed overseas since Biden took office, with 13 during the retreat from Afghanistan on Aug. 26, 2021, and three just five months ago in Jordan. Biden also glossed over the large number of U.S. troops that have perished in training incidents during his time in office.
During the debate with former President Donald Trump, Biden said, “The truth is, I’m the only president this century that doesn’t have any this — this decade, that doesn’t have any troops dying anywhere in the world, like [Trump] did.”
A reporter asked Department of Defense deputy press secretary Sabrina Singh if “the Pentagon stands by those remarks.” “As you have reported on, we have certainly had service members pass during this administration” Singh said.
