The Chaos of Combat Redux

Given the following assumptions:
1- Hillary Clinton did not LIE about her experiences in Bosnia, she "misremembered".
Given that the stress of combat and the threat of possible combat situations can play tricks with memory. Let us give her the benefit of the doubt.
2- That there was the actual THREAT of snipers who MIGHT shoot at her when she landed at Tuzla and the stress from that threat was real.
My experiences in Vietnam lead me to believe that the perception of danger can be nearly as stressfull as actual bullets whizzing through the air.

So assuming that the threat of danger was real.
Why the Hell would she take her DAUGHTER into that situation by choice ?
Chelsea was still a teenager back then. What kind of mother willingly exposes her DAUGHTER to the threat of sniper fire ?

Is this the sort of "wisdom" we can expect from her when she gets that 3:00AM phone call?
If she is willing to expose her own daughter to that kind of danger, what kind of danger is she willing to expose the rest of America to ?

I will be voting for Barack Obama in the May 20th Oregon Primary Election.
