NYT reports 40k troops in Israel & 1000s more deployed to aid Israel if needed in the Israel/Hamas War. The DOD confirmed while the US isn't at war, the U.S. maintains 1000s of troops in Syria & Iraq in recognized combat zones. The IRS website lists the zones. https://www.irs.gov/individuals/military/combat-zones https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/30/us/politics/us-deploys-troops-middle-east.html https://checkyourfact.com/2024/09/11/fact-check-kamala-harris-claims-there-are-zero-u-s-troops-in-combat-zones-in-war-zones/ https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/09/11/trump-harris-debate-us-troops-combat-zones/75171915007/
