In his remarks, Rounds highlighted a South Dakota veteran from Belle Fourche, who reached out to Rounds’ staff in hopes of evacuating her Afghan interpreter. Rounds also spoke in detail about President Biden’s decision to reject the professional advice of his military advisors to complete a conditions-based withdrawal rather than a date certain withdrawal.

  1. I see your fearless leader caved and will vote to extend the debt limit. History will not judge present day Republicans kindly if they keep going along instead of putting their heels into the ground and saying enough.

  2. Biden inherited a mess. It started with Bush shifting focus away from Afghanistan to Iraq. Trump let 63 Americans get killed with no benefit. Biden has 13 and accomplished what Trump promised but couldn’t deliver.

    1. And the obama/biden administration which reigned between Bush and Trump had how many casualties…..I know how many so why don’t you look it up and come back and ammend your statement?

  3. Vet here. Instead of you all looking to blame someone all the damn time, how about you ask us how we are doing and start dealing with the damage the past 20 years has done to us? Just a thought.

  4. Who cares? After two decades in the sandbox it was time to rip that dirty bandaid off and save American lives and money.

  5. Another republican senator trying to rewrite history. Bush started this war and Trump withdrew troops to a level where there was not enough to support the mission.

    1. so it is Trump’s fault Biden didn’t listen to the brass and deploy enough troops to make the withdrawal properly? Sure.
      as for which POTUS inherited the problem, none of them did. None of them inherited the job, they wanted it, ran for it, won it. It’s not an inheritance if you worked to get it.

  6. Rounds is such a low effort guy, this was right wing talking point stuff from nearly a month ago. Maybe I should just be happy he isn’t talking about Benghazi still. There are just bigger issues that this guy won’t touch. Wish we had a leader on issues that could benefit us rather than a party vote for national jargon. Just like Kristi, they are not representing us at all I feel.
