The number of Americans, as General McKenzie said,
an F-77 report is supposed every ambassador in every country
of the world keeps an F-77 report and they're supposed
to track the the Americans where they're at,
the phone numbers, address, etcetera in the country.
That was always a difficult number for us in the
Department of Defense to get a hold of.
And I think it's true at the tactical level as
an operation level as well.
And I'll be candid, I don't know the exact number
of Americans that were left behind because the starting number
was never clear.
Same is true of at risk,
Afghans, Sivs. The commandos, other Afghans that serve with us,
those numbers varied so widely that they were quite inaccurate.
As best I could tell at the time.
So I would just say I'm not sure even today
about the accuracy of all those numbers.
