"Relative to...it's effectively..." Such nonsense.
Trump said; "there is no jobs” to be had. There are millions of jobs avaialble, an all-time high number in fact. Trump is simply wrong.

Nowhere near Trump's claimed “real” unemployment rate of “anywhere from 18 to 20 percent” and “maybe even 21 percent.” Trump is simply wrong.

I read what you wrote. Regardless the reason, they aren't now "back on the battlefield trying to kill us”. Trump is wrong.
