Does the US have a policy to hold people accountable for costs they create for example if the governement has to come to their rescue for their own neglicence ? ( like if beeing held by a foreign country after caught hiking in a warzone f.e. ? )
Germany has introduced such a policy a couple of years ago and since then the numbers of people who wanted to go hiking in the colombian mountains or went on motorcycle tours through Afghanistan, were kidnapped and needed to be bailed out at a high cost has dramatically gone down. Since you know in advance that diplomats will try to bring you home but that they will present you with a huge bill afterwards.........
