You do understand you are talking about real people? Young girls, parents of toddlers, grandmas? Why do you think _you_ have the right to tell them to go face possible death and torture?
The only charitable interpretation I can come up with is that they maybe live in a democracy and are too used to politics being completely devoid of any danger. It's easy to have strong convictions and strongly held opinions/values in a peaceful democracy, but it's completely different when politics involve violence and can ruin your whole life.
