Serious question. So, over 100k have been evac'd from Afghanistan. How many Americans were there?!?!

UK, French, Dutch... etc and etc...

And IIRC as of yesterday 4500 had been evac'd

They were in contact with 500 more and it sounded like the general said they got them out. So they believe there are around 1000 left.
He stated that some of these people do not want to leave or in the process of making the decision to leave.
Some may not even be in the country anymore but on that I'm unclear.

Probably ethnic Pashtun or Tajik, have extended family there, jobs there, etc.

They haven't broken down the stats on the 1000+ remaining.

I did hear at one of the pressers that they were fervently trying phone numbers, emails, texts for the remaining 1000.
They then also mentioned that some people may have already left the country but I couldn't figure out if some of those were in the 1000 group or not or if that was why they reduced the number of Americans there from a high number down to 6000 the other day.

Making big money and leeching off the government for years…ironically a lot of them are MAGA types that hate the government and consider themselves ‘independent’……I know because I was surrounding by them and had to interact with them when I was deployed there

leave before?

It appears that about 100k people have been evacuated, of whom about 4,500 are Americans. There was great emphasis on evacuation of Afghan interpreters and their families. Of course, allies were evacuated as well. I would imagine that is still less than 50k people. Who are the rest?

They are either still deciding, staying and some may have actually left already. Some hold dual citizenship and consider Afghanistan home and will remain.

Paid by you and me weather they work or not. Hazardous duty bonus pay goes away when they leave. They will let everybody go before them but not for the right reason. $

There were probably closer to 20K Americans that were in Afghanistan for various reasons, and some of them -some of the NGO workers, or perhaps some Americans who actually support the Taliban - don't want to leave.

US transport planes are not just taking American citizens and the Afghanistan support personnel along with their families, they're apparently also taking regular locals who are somewhat cleared to go -or maybe aren't - just because they may be in danger under the new regime.

It's like trying to eliminate the last day of school because nothing happens that day.

If they had left 6 months ago, they would have been the last to leave 6 months ago.
