    Looks like we're done there, officially. Last flight has left.

    Centcom Commander Kenneth McKenzie: “I’m here to announce the completion of our withdrawal in Afghanistan and the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens, third country nationals and vulnerable Afghans.”

    The last military plane out of Afghanistan departed at 3:29 p.m. on the East Coast — that’s 11:59 p.m. in Kabul. We are officially out of Afghanistan. According to General McKenzie “the vast majority of U.S. citizens who wanted to leave, were evacuated.” However, he later continued “there’s a lot of heartbreak. We did not get everybody out that we wanted to get out.”

    I am confused. They said “ don’t go to the airport “ but also didn’t extend the deadline ?

    Yep. Then were turning away Americans who went to the airport anyway.
