The Blaze got ahold of raw video taken from a Marine's GoPro which shows the true chaos endured by those in Kabul as U.S. evacuations took place at the Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Marine Cpl. Mike Markland strung together the video clips from his helmet's GoPro camera.
The footage "Captured the grittiness and desperation of the hurried evacuation" and reveals "Two straight weeks of worsening conditions" on the ground, as seen from the viewpoint of the Marine from 1st Battalion, 8th Marine Regiment.
"Two weeks in Kabul at HKIA put all of that to the test. I can't say enough how proud I am of the Marines I serve with."
Marines shoot crowd munitions to attempt to calm the frantic masses.
Babies are seen being handed to the Marines for safety.
Despite the sheer inhumanity of the bedlam, there are moments of hopeful humanity as Marines give fist bumps to smiling Afghans.
