The Peace Corps job is to go into countries that need help and give them help. But what happens when the country erupts into violence or even all out war? Well the Peace Corp pulls it volunteers out of the country and relocates them or discharges them. Some people feel that this is against what The Peace Corp stands for they say what good does it do the people of the country when the people who are there to help them vanish the moment they need serious help? I believe that it is okay for The Peace Corp to pull out when these situations happen because they are THE PEACE CORP not the we will stay and fight corp.
Recently back in February TPC pulled it's volunteers from Kenya. After violence broke out after the elections. They have not completely shut down there operations as they have in some areas like the Gaza Strip. They are planing to return once things have settled down.

I like what you say about them being the Peace Corp, not the stay and fight corp. Good article to find for this assignment.
