(CNSNews.com) - Speaking in Jacksonville, Florida on Thursday, President Obama repeated something he's said elsewhere on the campaign trail: "We've brought our men and women home from Iraq and Afghanistan."
Earlier, on a stop in Miami, he phrased it differently: "We brought home more of our men and women in uniform."
Obama made the comments on a day when two U.S. troops were killed and four others injured in Afghanistan. The president did not mention that during his campaign stops.
But in a statement issued on Thursday, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said he was "deeply saddened to learn overnight that we suffered casualties in Afghanistan."
