American Woman Trapped in Afghanistan Stunned After Last U.S. Plane Leaves: 'Am I Safe?' (msn.com)

She tells her story, they tried to get to the airport gate but were repulsed and gassed by the soldiers at the gate.
No way out for her, she was an interpreter who went on many military US missions.
She is stunned they left her behind.

The last flights out, Gen Mackenzie admits had no Americans on board, saying they could not get to the airport by themselves.
==============================
Sara said she and the 37 Afghans staying in her home had tried to get to Kabul's airport in recent days.

"We were all on the streets going from gate to gate," she said.

As a last attempt, she went with six of the children and a man who she said pretended to be her husband to get through Taliban checkpoints.

Outside the airport, she said: "I started shouting, 'I'm an American, please open the gate I'm here to go home.'"

She said no one heard her and tear gas was deployed. "I was knocked out for like maybe 15 minutes," she said.

And we wonder why indigenous people won't work with our military. We abandon them.
