Navy SEAL’s Savior Marked for Death by Taliban
Gulab immediately knew that the man was American—and that the Taliban were after him. Nevertheless, he took Luttrell into his home and protected him. He considered it his sacred duty under the tribal code of honor known as Pashtunwali, which mandates Pashtuns should protect anyone in need. When the insurgents came to demand that he hand over Luttrell, Gulab refused. The Taliban persisted, alternating between promises of money and threats to murder him and the rest of the village. None of it changed Gulab’s mind. He and his neighbors remained steadfast.
Without phones or radios, the villagers sent a man on foot across the mountains to carry a message to the nearest American base. Several days passed before the helicopters appeared. And as the Americans airlifted Luttrell out of the village, Gulab left, too.

All you said was that the guy "left". Nothing else.
That doesn't explain if he did so of his own accord and refused a ride in the chopper, OR whether the chopper just abandoned him to a likely certain death; Or whether if he WAS evacuated, he was refused asylum into the USA or such. It wasn't that clear to me at all, and so far still isn't. No offense to you at all was meant.
