not unless hurting you will help the country.

Go out of their way to hurt you? Probably not.
Hurt you via negligence, accident or as collateral damage? You bet your sweet ass.

Yes, under two circumstances:
- If a sufficiently powerful person thinks they can accomplish some greater good by doing so.
- If a REALLY powerful (and corrupt) person thinks they can somehow advance themselves by doing so.
...and that's pretty much it.

"The government" is not a living entity.
It's a collection of self-interested bureaucrats, power hungry egotists, self interested congressmen, bored clerks, apathetic pencil pushers, naive optimists, and everything in between.
Take off your tin-foil hat.
