[WS:] Yep, that is yet another cost that Americans pay for the empire in addition to the hijacking of the democratic process by imperial priorities, diverting trillions of dollars from domestic uses to imperial maintenance, and the general hatred of America abroad.
But the most tragic part of it is that there is not much anyone can do about it that is short of breaking up the US of A - as it was the case of x-USSR. Hoping that the empire can be ended by ordinary political processes - such as electing the "right" people to political offices - is delusional. The very nature of the US political process will ensure that any politician who is serious about ending the empire will be labeled a traitor and assassinated, either politically or literally.
