We heard it on the news that international or humanitarian volunteers are not exempted from kidnapping especially by the terrorist group. do you think it is the best time not to send them in places that may lead to bait for these terrorists to kidnap them again and again.
do you agree or disagree?

Remember, Pyre, that they are volunteers. Nobody makes them go there. Yes, there are some who claim they're CIA puppets, but I know a few people who have done it, and they truly believe they must follow their urges to help where help is needed.Most, but nit all, go as part of their religious devotion. If they were banned, they'd find a way to go, anyway, because they believe it is the right thing to do.

i agree with in a way but more or less the damage they've given to government is more than the help they give. Many soldiers die in order to save their lives. War arises everytime a hostage crisis or kidnapping takes place.
sometimes we should think it is pointless going to these places.

They do a tremendous amount of good. In most cases, they are told they will not be given any special treatment, nor will they have military bodyguards, and only the very high-profile ones are even known.
