Someone drawing down on you with an AK-47 isn't going to care about your motives for being there, be they altruistic or mercenary. They're not going to see a husband -- or a father. They're not going to care that you're there so your wife can spend more time at home with your new child.

They're only going to see an American, an occupier of their country. An infidel.

No, not everyone there is going to hate you and wish you harm. But it only takes one to royally mess up several lives.

Think long and hard about it. Godspeed, whatever your decision is.
