Several novels have been published following the dramatic US evacuation from the country. Those titles include: "Life and Death at Abbey Gate", "Saving Aziz", "Always Faithful", and "Kabul".[1]AfghanistanEducation (talk) 18:46, 24 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn’t the list of defenders include British troops who were reportedly (according to cnn) at the scene of the attack? Lucycobra (talk) 22:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
This was not n evacuation, it was a withdrawal out of the country, and a catastrophic one at that. Let's add some context, this wasnt just an attack...nor was it anywhere close to an evacuation. 99.192.109.101 (talk) 14:39, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
America/US and UK troops withdrew from Afghanistan, the Afghan civilians who had aided them, or who for other reasons were in danger, were evacuated (ie were moved to a place of greater safety). It wouldn't make much sense to say Afghan civilians withdrew from their own country! Pincrete (talk) 06:45, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
in the beginning of the article, it states that at least 183 people were killed, with 170 Afghani civilians and 13 US military service members killed but, under the "Victims" section, it says 182 killed, 169 Afghani citizens and 13 US military service members killed.

Robbie.1075, the highest sourced figure is the 182 (lower) figure. As we and the sources both say that the real figure could be higher (we say 'at least'), I've restored the lower figure. What may have happened is that someone edited the article because they read of an extra death, but didn't replace the 'cite' to confirm the figure. If someone finds a more up to date figure with a more up to date cite, they can easily update the numbers.Pincrete (talk) 04:30, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I've just been looking to see if a better/more final death figure exists for the Afghan victims, there doesn't appear to be one. All the other figures are lower and appear to be part of the 'unfolding narrative' at the time of the event itself. It's possible that in the chaos of the evacuation, no final summary figure was arrived at in Western media.Pincrete (talk) 06:30, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
