For those who love to make historical comparisons, many of whom know nothing about history, the US military evacuated around 7k people from Saigon. The US military has already evacuated 37k people from Afghanistan. Bet you haven't read or seen that.

Almost 60,000 evacuees out as of 3am ET today (more by now), with multiple planes landing and taking off every hour. Amazing, heroic work by our armed forces -- who remain under terrorist threat in Kabul. *****sNFGkb8vwu

在美国从阿富汗撤走所有军人的最后期限还有不到一个星期之际,美国国防部星期三(8月25日)说,美国在过去24小时内又撤离了1万9千名美国人和希望离开本国的阿富汗人。
即使如此,美国官员说,还有1万人拥挤在喀布尔的国际机场,希望逃离被塔利班反叛分子控制的国度。
过去一天来,总共有90架次的美国军用和国际航班飞离喀布尔,有时每39分钟就有一架飞机起飞。自从撤离行动几个星期前开始以来,已经有大约8万8千人被撤走。
哈米德·卡尔扎伊国际机场的局面仍然紧张而混乱,但是五角大楼发言人约翰·科比(John Kirby)说,8月31日过后,机场的安全管控“将不是美国的责任”了。美国总统乔·拜登(Joe Biden)把8月31日定为美国结束在阿富汗军事行动的最后日期。
