John Kirby: We’re Heartbroken We Couldn’t Get Everybody Out

‘We’re going to do everything we can to get them out of that country and out safely’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

KIRBY: "I would tell them, Willie, that they still have that commitment. We thank them for their service, we're grateful for what they did. And we moved out an incredible number in a span of two weeks, 123,000, the vast majority of which were Afghans, Afghan allies, people like them who helped us. As Gen. McKenzie said yesterday, we’re heartbroken that we couldn’t get everybody out, but they still have our commitment, they still have the commitment of this administration and the United States and we’re going to do everything we can to continue to try to get them out of that country and out safely."
