#1 Wow, usually they just shoot them rather than let them be rescued.

There's been a long line of extremely stupid Westerners who go to the south of the Philippines and get kidnapped. Too dumb to live, and then the Philippine military has to risk their lives trying to get them back.

#2 When Jesus said "The poor will always be with you," he could have continued in that vein and said that the stupid will always be with us too. People who can afford a plane ticket to some inadvisable distant locale should certainly be charged the cost of any military or police operation done on their behalf.
