Why we checked itBaisley claims over a thousand Americans have been murdered internationally by the parties he is referring to as 'bullies' — a specific numerical claim that could be verified or refuted against casualty data
What we foundThe most defensible tallies of Americans killed by foreign adversaries internationally since 1979 reach into the high hundreds to just under 1,000, making 'over a thousand' an exaggeration relative to available authoritative counts, though broader inclusion criteria can push totals higher.
