Dan Crenshaw is a retired Navy SEAL who served and was wounded in Afghanistan\u2019s Helmand province during his third deployment, in 2012. He lost his right eye and his left eye was badly damaged in an IED attack. Crenshaw is held in extremely high regard in the veteran and active-duty communities.<\/p>\n<p>Lara Logan is a long-time award-winning journalist now working for Fox News who has spent much of her career covering war zones including Iraq and Afghanistan. Between the two of them, Logan and Crenshaw have spent years in and around Afghanistan. Due to their experience there, both are likely to have credible sources on the ground at the Kabul airport.<\/p>\n<p>Both Logan and Crenshaw are independently reporting that Americans have been turned away from safety at that airport over the past couple of days.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Update: Rep.
