My first tendency was to say, well these guys are tired. However, it seems this is nothing new, sort of like Hillary and the snipers. There're links to his speech and more:

My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton's army. He saw the dead and dying across the fields of Europe; he heard the stories of fellow troops who first entered Auschwitz and Treblinka.
Isn't it entirely possible that he meant stories of the first American troops that eventually entered? Why does that have to mean he was saying that American troops were the absolute first to enter? I'm not even sure why it's being perceived that way. It seems like grasping at straws to me.
