If we keep to the current pace we'll equal that number by next week. I say "current pace" because the pace keeps accelerating.

That's all the more impressive since Afghanistan has 10 million fewer people living in it than Vietnam did in 1975.

Afghanistan has 38 million people, South Vietnam had fewer than 20 million in 1974, the year before the US left.
