Serious question. So, over 100k have been evac'd from Afghanistan. How many Americans were there?!?! [View all] Roland99 Aug 2021 OP
that 100k includes all allies and Afghans WarGamer Aug 2021 #1
I'm sure. But I'm curious as to how many Americans were actually there Roland99 Aug 2021 #2
The initial reports were "up to 15k" in country WarGamer Aug 2021 #4
They estimate about 6000. 4500 were already evacuated. chowder66 Aug 2021 #3
My guess is that if there's 1000 US Citizens considering staying it's because they're 'from there' Hugh_Lebowski Aug 2021 #8
Yes. Some have dual citizenship but I have no idea how many. chowder66 Aug 2021 #12
