The last plane left Afghanistan WITHOUT a number of Americans who had requested evacuation.
Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the head of United States Central Command (CENTCOM), said “we did not get out everybody we had wanted to get out,” adding that diplomatic measures will likely be needed to get out the “very low hundreds” of Americans left behind.
He admitted, “there’s a lot of heartbreak associated with this departure, we did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out.”

What happened to in Biden's words "if there's American citizens left, we're going to stay until they get out."
CNN’s Clarissa Ward reports on a Houston family abandoned in Afghanistan, saying “they had been going to the airport for two weeks trying desperately to get out. They all have American passports...They couldn’t get past the Taliban.”
Texas Republican Rep. Ronny Jackson says he has constituents that are stuck in Afghanistan.
