Biden exaggerates his visits to Iraq and Afghanistan at veterans town hall in Delaware
Fox News
President Biden on Friday made another false claim about the number of times he's visited Iraq and Afghanistan at a town hall with veterans in Delaware.
"I've been in and out, not as, obviously, a combatant, but in and out of Afghanistan, Iraq, and those areas 38, 39 times as vice president, only twice as president," Biden told his audience as he related discussions that occurred before the law was enacted.

The president exaggerated the number of times he's visited the Middle East, which he has done before. In his first State of the Union address, Biden falsely claimed he had traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan "over 40 times." The actual number is closer to 21 times, according to a PolitiFact fact-check that rated his claim "false" in March.
