For the Afghan-Americans here, what are your feelings this July 4th?

In the last few days I’ve seen a lot of content on social media that is either critical or outright condemns the U.S and its history, often pointing to the fact that many of the founding fathers were slave owners to war crimes committed (Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine.)

For the Afghans that either grew up or recently moved to the states, I wanted to see what your thoughts are on this day, especially since this year marks the 5 year anniversary of the U.S’s withdrawal from Afghanistan, which was a traumatic and painful time for Afghan-Americans and symbolized the failures broken promises past administrations have made in their handling of the war.
