Michael Yon, a former Special Forces soldier and war correspondent was among the private citizens working with private networks and the military to rescue stranded Americans. Yon said, "We had them out there waving their passport screaming, 'I'm American.' People were turned away from the gate by our own Army." Yon emailed to an Army major whose team had tried to coordinate the rescue before abandoning it. "You guys left American citizens at the gate of the Kabul airport. Three empty jets paid for by volunteers were waiting for them. You and I talked on the phone. I told you where they were. Gave you their passport images. And my email and phone number. And you left them behind. Great job saving yourselves. Probably get a lot of medals."<ref>https://justthenews.com/government/security/were-americans-people-screaming-outside-gates-kabul-airport-turned-away</ref>
