SourceThe Pentagon confirmed that the last plane left Kabul airport on Monday, ending the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan after two decades while leaving hundreds of Americans behind.
"I'm here to announce the completion of our withdrawal from Afghanistan, and the end of the military mission to evacuate American citizens, third country nationals, and vulnerable Afghans," said Marine Corps Gen. Kenneth McKenzie, the head of the U.S. Central Command, to reporters in a media briefing.
"The last C-17 lifted off from Hamid Karzai international airport on August 30 this afternoon at 3:29 p.m. East Coast time, the last manned aircraft is now clearing the airspace above Afghanistan," he added.
McKenzie admitted that hundreds of American citizens had been left behind, and there were no American civilians on the last flight out because they were not able to make it to the airport.
