Per white house "42,000 have been evacuated as of Sunday. A long way to go." WHAT? How many did we have there? How many translators?

Did every American soldier have a translator by his side at all times?

How many more thousands of ours and our translators AND THEIR FAMILIES ARE STILL THERE?

Joe says that deadline may have to be extended. The Taliban says better not try or there will be devastating consequences.

    Not every soldier had a translator.
    But besides translators, there were thousands of Afghan civilians working as support for American and Allied forces.
    Plus thousands more who would be seen as "traitors" by the Taliban ... people like teachers, police, technicians, contractors, etc.
    ANYBODY who willingly worked with the US/Allied forces, in any way whatsoever.

    For example:  The Afghan girls' robotics team.
    Those who did not flee the country during the Taliban advance, are in hiding and fear for their lives.
