The white helmets: when the bombs rain down on the innocent citizens. In a place where regular services don’t exist. These guys come in and save the day. They risk their lives to go in and under the rebels and save people who were in that building two minutes before and air strike was dropped on it. They do this voluntarily, and passionately. They don’t think about whether they like the person or not, their only thought is that this is a human and that might die. They could be someone’s mom, sister, brother, grandfather and daughter, son…etc. And that means they are worth saving.
