Of Course the bulk of the fault lies with family upbringing even those who were bought up in "Pakistani way" often when they get in High School or college when they start understanding narratives of Pakistan, in the US media they turn their backs for me my father eventhough my mom was not for it tried his best in raising me as Pakistani and knowing to crush "BS" narratives of the country plus all across my childhood during summer vacation I would spend like several months there my father showed all sides of the country nice,bad,poor,rich, and urban plus rural so I dont get a once sided narrative as for Pakistanis who get involved in other stuff(Arabs,Uyghurs) well what I can say they rather listen to US narratives as for Saddam I oppose the Iraq War but he was no angel he went to war with Iran over sectarian lens and frankly his bossed in Washington and Riyadh pushed him eventhough Khomeni lived in Iraq in exile for a decade had respect for the land and its people he wanted a Iraq-Iran union as for Pakistan he also provided arms to Balochi rebels in the 1970s and 1980s and there was a cache of weapons found in the Iraqi embassy as well I am glad Zia had a pro Iranian tilt but kept officially neutral
I am glad my father raised me Pakistani, even though I cant speak Urdu,Pashto, or Punjabi I can understand some of the conversations and wordings plus phrases as growing my father always has TV tuned in to Geo,or ARY plus a lot of my relatives have marries Pukhtoons in the past so I have family in all the provinces as well one of my classmates in High School actually moved back to Pakistan and is spending a year there and he has You Tube channel that describes his experiences I am applaud him for that I hope to do so plus his Urdu and Hindko have improved you can check his channel out.

I want to learn Urdu problem is my Uni only offers, Arabic,Russian,Chinese,Italian,French, Spanish, Japanese, and Greek, I chose to take a Arabic course as it may be helpful in learning plus I am trying to self teach myself well not so great at learning Turkish,and Persian but languages is something I struggle with nevertheless I am doing something about it
Pakistanis can do it and I have seen but we are doing the wrong way we are not playing all the political parties right wing or left wing anyways if you know American politicians after careers once their terms are over they go into the lobbying sector and guess what who gets them the Indians later it will be the Bengalis and we will be smacked by those two groups.HH is traitor he is working for the Indian lobby not open but his words speak like any Indian lobbyist or pro Indian US politicians
Its makes Fox News look like its more informative
"Chacha"-Pakistan is le bad placd izlamists everywhere I support LGBTQ rights and shieet
Yeah Modi is getting smacked but just wait the Indian lobby will spin this and call him "Taliban Khan" and or whatever and we will be back in square one but hey at least the Indian "supa powa" economy is suffering ehehee
You basically summed it up anyways I could rant about how "Multiculturalism" has been failure in the west but I will go off topic but you already have plenty of Pakistanis fighting Pakistanis in the US Army I mean Khizr Khan son is example and few other as well, ehehee, Mind you when I use to voulanter in politics a few years back Khizr Khan made a speech at the "Muslim Day Parade" and I confronted him by trying to give him a flier about not voting Hillary "The War monger" yet he was so arrogant and had look like his assitant push me away and tried asking him about why do you support Hilary policies for her neo-con policies could not answer so fake I hate these "chahcha" Democratic,so called Muslim Brotherhood,Soundvison, and CAIR boot lickers
