1. “Lischer introduces three types of military-humanitarian interactions: “humanitarian soldiers,” “aid workers as government agents,” and “humanitarian placebo.” What are the key features of these three types of militarized aid? What are their potential implications for aid organizations and their intended beneficiaries?”
“Humanitarian soldiers”- Involving the military in the provision of aid can grow stability and help make allies with other countries. It can also strengthen government authority. An intervention is disputed less when the military answers back without using any force.

The issue with using military force is that it also takes the lives of some innocent people.

The United states and United Nation troops killed about 500 Somalian’s and about 1500 during the mission. Half of those people were vulnerable woman and children. Military interventions make the costs of abuses from human rights higher for the ones that commit the act. If criminals wrongly accuse victims for difficulties and suffering caused by the intervention, retaliating against groups of victims and encouragement for the retaliation may increase. Interventions from the military can make persons getting harmed from being regarded as being trouble being looked as a traitor or backstabbing enemy. The enemy could have the ability to demand revenge, take hold of power and get away from the state. Most assignments in humanitarianism depend on air military strength to keep away from fatalities. The victims don’t have any protection from military attacks or revenge. In Valentino’s reading he talks about different cases and genocides. The issue with these cases is that nobody was sent or appointed to stop the violence. The forces that were moved around for military action didn’t have any resources or the authorization to end the violence around them. In some instances they couldn’t save themselves. Deployments that were strong and protective could have been more effective but it be
