My bro an Army NG engineer, built roads and bridges down there.
I donated for decades to charities to "adopt" a child and provide support for necessities and education. I received letters and colored drawings from those children, thanking me! Some went on to become teachers or nurses.

You're right, and I think that's why individual Americans are generally welcomed by the people of those places. They seem to be able to distinguish between the American people and the American government.
What's less distinguishable is the difference between American government and American corporations. In that part of the world, they probably look identical.

US intervention or Nazi expats. But those may be the same thing.
There's truth in this frog's croak.
