The source is sensationalist, of course, but it was the UK who wanted Abbey gate to remain an entry point into the airport because the Brits were stationed in the Baron Hotel nearby.
It was the United States who put the British in this position by making Kabul the center of the evacuation instead of Bagram Air Base. I love my country but we really screwed the pooch by abandoning Bagram prior to the evacuation. That should have been where we were exfiling from. Not an international airport in the middle of a freaking city.

The road from Kabul to Bagram would have been a shooting gallery.
The evacuations will continue long past leaving HKIA. But that is something no one should be speaking of. We have people in harm's way at the moment.
