On Thursday CNN reported that Jane Fonda has come out agaist the war in Iraq & Americans who are for it just ignorant. Who the HZXl does think she is? The announcer actually called her "Hanoi Jane". The Bizxh was a traiter of the worst kind during the Viet Nam War. Yeah, I know she apologized, but that iosn't going to make those GI's who were prisoner like her. I am not a vet from Nam, I was in the Korean "Conflict" as corpsman with the 1st Marines. Tha same outfit that is in Iraq. Semper Fie!!!

Ditto that Twelvepole. I was always upset when the Atlantia Braves went into the world series because then we had to look at her chopping that Tomahawk.
Have you notice that all those so called stars against the war have now gone into hiding? You don't hear anything anymore. I guess they don't want to ruin their career's. We are the ones they get their money from and I think they are afraid that they will lose it. Well, I have to say I don't go to movies because of the high salaries they get. I haven't been to a movie in 5 years and I don't intend to go. If I just happen to I will go before 4:30 with Senior prices.

Libra, you have missed some great entertainment. We don't go too often , but there have been some really good movies. Not all movie stars are bad. I believe that everyone has the right to their opinion, but Hanoi Jane deserves no respect whatsoever.

I know that all stars are not bad but I just can't get into giving that money at the box office. I worked hard for my money. Out of my years of work I spent over 30 years on call and I just can't justfy my going to a movie where they get those large salaries when I made peanuts. I guess it is just me. It's the same with BaseBall, BasketBall and I do love my Green Bay Packers and if I have a chance to go I do. The ticket is $35.00, now it is higher, but I love football and that I never will give up. We can go see them free during their camps and we do drive up there and watch. We do that a couple of times a year. Autographs are free. We were some of the Lucky ones that Got Mike Holmgren's autograph the next year after the superbowl win. So that $35.00 becomes a small amount. Sorry this is so long. I have never forgiven Jane Fonda and I am sure most of the Vietnam veterans haven't either....

And in case some have forgotten the story or are just too young to really know or understand it, here's how it goes...
Looks like Hanoi Jane may be honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century".
JANE FONDA remembered?
Unfortunately many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our "country" but the men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam. There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane Fonda's participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is one of them.
Part of my conviction comes from exposure to a pilot whose name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a former POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton". Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in fresh PJs, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms.Fonda, was clubbed and dragged away.
During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp Commandant's
feet, accidentally pulling the man's shoe off-which sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col.still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying days) from the Vietnamese Col.'s frenzied application of wooden baton.
From 1983-85, Col. Larry Carrigan was the 47FW/DO (F-4Es). He spent 6 years in the "Hilton" - the first three of which he was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms.Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" & "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge ... and handed him the little pile. Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost number four.
To whom it may concern: I was a civilian economic development advisor in Viet Nam, was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Viet Nam in 1968, and held for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary confinement, one year in a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed approximately 90 lbs. (My normal weight is170 lbs.) We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda visited Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs were receiving, which was far different from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by various peace activists as "humane and lenient." After doing so, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a piece of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane every time my arms dipped. After my release I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She declined to answer me. She does not exemplify someone who should be honored among "100 Years of Great Women."
Please take the time to read and forward to as many people as you can. It
will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that "we will never forget".!!!!

Twelvepole I hope your talking about Ralphie because Jane Fonda had all that money and TimeWarner she could even afford a new body. Opps, that is what she got. She tried to make us forgive and forget but you never forget something like this.
Thanks for the article to remind us why we hate Jane Fonda. Things like this need to surface once in a while to show the younger generation that you have feedom to do what you want in the USA. That is what this war all about. Imagine if she would have said that in Iraq she wouldn't be here so we could repeat the story.

cta: Thank you for your post. I had this filed away but couldn't find it. No one should ever forget what this person did. Benedict Arnold was a saint compared to this woman
