I mean, are you incapable of having any sympathy for individuals that walked into what seemed to be peaceful but turned into a warzone?

Sure, the Israel Palestine conflict has been going on since 1948 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israeli%E2%80%93Palestinian_conflict

But if your work told you to go on a quick in and out trip to Jamaica would you know there's an older persistent conflict that could cause you harm? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamaican_political_conflict

Shit Sudan and Myanmar both have higher body counts so far. You check with the state department and lists of all armed conflicts before all your trips?
