Don Bacon (NE-02) issued the following statement ahead of the House Armed Services Committee hearing on \u201cEnding the U.S. Military Mission in Afghanistan.\u201d The committee will receive testimony from Department of Defense leadership on the issues surrounding the decision to withdraw forces from Afghanistan and the consequences of the President\u2019s actions.\n\n\u201cI look forward to Secretary Austin, General Milley, and General McKenzie\u2019s testimony at tomorrow\u2019s HASC hearing. We need answers on how the President\u2019s decision to withdraw forces from Afghanistan has become the worst national security debacle in a generation and why we left behind fellow Americans and Afghan allies. I served in the Air Force for nearly 30 years and unquestionably know that we should never leave Americans and allies behind. Now, our enemies are emboldened, and our nation is vulnerable to future attacks.\u201d\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T20:17:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://bacon.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=772"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.6659738719463348, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
