#4 is disturbing. As an American Citizen, I expect my government to protect me at no additional charge. isn't that why we pay federal taxes?
when your house is on fire and a fireman comes in to save your burning a$$, does he bill you later for saving your life?

The US government is charged with defending the country from external threats, but there is no Constitutional authorization for it to protect you and any other American who travels overseas. You do, and should do, that at your own risk. To do otherwise is to demand that others pay for your risky adventure.
