What's this?

Yeah, I agree, that's the concern.


But the fact that only 5% of total evacuees to date are American does nothing to address that concern one way or the other.

I wouldn't want to be in Afghanistan at all right now, but if I had to be, I'd much rather be an American than an Afghan ally of the Americans.
