Vice President Biden stopped laughing long enough during the debate to make the bold claim that the United States has trained more than 315,000 troops and police in Afghanistan without incident. Viewers familiar with the rash of “green-on-blue” attacks in the country, which accelerated after the administration announced a 2014 withdrawal, took some issue with the words “without incident.”
"Mostly without incident"? Damn, that's a rough thing to say for the families of what, 97 dead Americans?
