This afternoon, Fox News’ Bret Baier read an email from someone with boots on the ground in Kabul saying that the Biden administration’s message to anyone remaining in Afghanistan after the August 31 deadline is basically “on their own.”

Well, to be fair, the administration is apparently still trying to figure out what their official position is:
US embassy issues last alert for US citizens to leave afghanistan or they’re on their own, then recalls it 30 mins later.

But despite that uncertainty, we can be quite sure that means that Americans still in Afghanistan who have largely been fending for themselves already are about to be even worse off in the coming days.
CBS News correspondent Eena Ruffina reports on what one American citizen is currently experiencing as she watches her county abandon her and loved ones to bloodthirsty terrorists:
I just got off a video call with a US citizen, a woman, housing multiple women and children in her home. Some are very young. Others are physically disabled.
I saw them on the video.
She said she's tried multiple times with her blue passport… can't get into the airport. 1/

She says she was a translator for 15 years. She worked on a base with many of these people. Some have pending SIV applications. Others do not. But because she is an American, they thought she could help them. She told them not to come, they came anyway.
Now, they're here.

She cried and said she just wants to go home to NJ.
I asked if she could go, but not the families in her house, will she leave?
She covered her face and started sobbing.
I said "you are allowed to want to go home."
The line went dead.
She texted her response…

"I am human how could leave these kids behind me get killed…. They will be in my heard for the rest of my life that I left them behind."
These are the kinds of choices people, American citizens, are making right now in #Afghanistan

These are the choices they are being forced to make by an administration that’s been exposed for their utterly callous disregard for innocent civilians whose lives hang in the balance.
This is heartbreaking.

This is so wrong. How can The United States of America so horridly drop the ball? https://t.co/49QHvsODLk

What a shameful and botched exit this has been. Truly a humanitarian crisis and a black eye for America. We could have done so much better than this. https://t.co/bko2dhD8lx

This has been nothing short of an abject travesty and a permanent stain on Joe Biden and his administration.
