So what tactics are you planning to use to take on three armed men?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

What stops them killing you is the fact they don't want to be arrested for murder. Muggers very rarely kill people on purpose. In fact, deciding to fight makes it far more likely they will kill you.
and mugging a military personnel is better? They would be arrested either way, and if I think if they resorted to mugging and they think i have more stuff on me, I may be harmed anyway.

Always, always hand over your wallet in this scenario. Any self defense or martial arts instructor worth their pay will tell you exactly the same.
Yeah, I remember a story about a black belt getting robbed. I can’t imagine beating up several people with knives. Years of inconsistently going to martial arts isn’t enough to make up for being that outnumbered and overpowered. Given what I ever carry, I wouldn’t have anything useful enough. Sadly, kill them all doesn’t work in this scenario.

I think your character is smarter than that.
The character I was describing was you, if you checked to see were the quote came from.
Your options and results are as follows.
1 - You punch them. No matter what the next step you planned for after this you've already been stabbed.
2 - You run. Ricky option since they may chase you but you also may get away or they won't care to chase you.
3 - Hand them your wallet. Unless you are some sort of spy or messenger carrying highly secret information there is no way what is in your wallet is more important then your life.

That’s not courage, it’s stupidity. I’d wager that 80% of NSG would shit themselves in such a situation. I’m trained in three different combatives and I still wouldn’t go up against three guys with knives

And they are hardened criminals, do you think that they would leave me afterwords? To tell the police, and if they stalk me so i wont tell, how is that better?
I more mean to combine 1 and two to get away.
