The FBI has offices all around the world and will run you down if they get the call. You would have to really screw up to have the military run you down in a foreign country, when the FBI can do the same job with less man power and fewer resources.

My comment about leave while you can, means leave while you are still permitted to leave. If you think it's bad now, give it 10 more years. You'll all wish you had left and set up a life elsewhere. And if you have the means, get working on a 2nd citizenship.
