Travel into a war zone.

WWII - visit Omaha Beach or Iwo Jima.
Viet Nam - pay a visit to DaNang

Am I the only one that thinks this is odd?

Why are these celebrities putting themselves in danger?

She's a Special Envoy with them since 2001. She's been to a whole bunch of different trouble spots. She also works with the Clinton Global Initiative and refugee-related humanitarian efforts.

Do not get the snark by some here. She is literally there as a representative of the UNHRC. She is working.

She wasn't there in an official capacity, but she is no stranger to these sorts of visits. In her case, it's not so odd.
