    When Kamala Harris says “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,” she believes it. She believes it because she has battalions of lawyers carefully defining what a combat zone is, what a war zone is, even what active duty means, what “boots on the ground” means — even what “ground” means.

      Its perfect. People know they're being lied to when they hear stuff like that. It doesn't matter if its "factually" correct in a way a lawyer could claim. Its stil a lie

        It's like when the Obama administration got caught killing civilians in drone strikes. They simply redefined "enemy combatant" to be any adult male. Problem solved!
