This country really has a short memory. That nasty bitch Hanoi jane fonda was just on the TV promoting a new book she has written advising kids on sex and being a teenager. It must not take much to be an expert. What the hell!!!!! she should be in jail not riding the media making money. If anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about just Google her and read the story about her visiting North Vietnam prison camp during the war and what she did to the American POWs. Then try to understand why we even let her out in society. I need to stop now before I get too wound up and say something that will get me into trouble. ;^)
 
Another elitist promoting their book -- probably didn't even write it -- just what we need ... And where have all the good writers gone? Just another frustration for those of us who have "stayed within the lines" all these years ...
 
On top of that, what makes her think I would want my kids to take her advice? She can raise her kids the way she chooses, leave mine alone!

When she's embraced by THE MEDIA is's only us old farts
who remember what worthless trash she is!!
May she rot in ----, John
 
There are very few individuals who are deserving of my unyielding disgust and revulsion: Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Iddi Ahmin and a handful of others come readily to mind.

Some of us "old farts" also remember kids being shot dead and beaten senseless during that interval for simply exercising their individual rights of free expression and assembly, as well as Freedom of Speech. While the actions of some individuals may not be in alignment with your personal political bent and perspective, I am compelled to remind you that those are Rights garanteed to ALL citizens of the United States, under that Constitution that both sides of the political spectrum equally revere and readily defend, both now and in the past. When you keep that reality front-and-center, perhaps you will find some level of tolerance...

I have the greatest respect for Mark Twain, both as a political comentator, author, and humorist; a man who held no reverance for monarchies, oligarchies, and theocracies.
I hold that every President and member of Congress should be required to read a piece of prose he authored prior any vote to commit our country to another War...

I did not know he was on the trip with her. I know he was a very vocal anti-war protester and was also Viet Nam veteran himself.
I was a young pup of 9 years old at the time. My memories of that time are still very clear. I can remember everyone at school wearing bracelets for POW and MIA's. I believe I still have mine in a box with my childhood items I saved. I was attending a Catholic grammar school at the time and remember each morning the names they would read over the loud speaker to pray for. I remember the news clips every night....I remember all the neighborhood kids that lost fathers and brothers....and I remember Hanoi Jane!
I had a next door neighbor, Michael Hanlon, that was like an older brother to me. He was drafted, became a chopper pilot, was shot down, MIA then POW for a few years. When he finally came back state side my parents would not let me see him. I was told he was not the big brother I remember and they wanted me to remember him the way he was not for what he had become.
I was very proud of him and will never forget my long lost big brother. I have tried over the years to locate him just to say thank you but I was never able to track him down. I still think about him often.

How did she qualify for "woman of the year"?????? She has a very longwinded explaination of what "really" happened in North Vietnam. Sorry but I for one just don't believe her. We have liars all over the administration so why should we believe everything we hear?? I just wanted to throw this out to like minded folks and am not going to pursue this any further.
 
If I remember right, John Kerry was on that trip with her!

I'm fine with throwing bricks at Jane Fonda, but I'm pretty sure John Kerry was not there with her.

John,


I have a cousin that was a medevac chopper pilot during the Vietnam war. He came back very changed. He suffers from PTDS terribly. Something we know now wasn't acknowledged then. My parents stayed away. His parents had a terrible time with him. I'm 5 years younger. I didn't see him again until I was 30 years old. We finally had a chance to talk at a family function and some of the things he told me about the war from both sides are nightmarish. I knew a couple of guys that didn't make it and I know one guy I grew up with that went to Canada. I'll be frank, I don't have ill feelings towards any of these guys. I didn't have to go although right up till the fall of Saigon in the spring of "75" I was scared shitless and counting the days. I would turn 18 that year in October. Today my family is friends of a family that owned the biggest John Deere dealership in South East Asia. John Deere hired and sent mercenaries into Vietnam to rescue his family. Several family members did not make it. That family now lives here in our home town. The stories I've heard from South Vietnam survivors making their way into Cambodia, loosing grandparents and children alike will bring tears to your eyes.

Todd,
You may be right. I just remember watching a documentary in the late 80's or early 90's where a North Vietnam General talked about Jane Fonda and John Kerry were the pawns Hanoi needed at the time to rally their troops and to use as propaganda against the POW's.

Yeah, no question he protested after coming home.

ditto Wendall's thought. (Kerry was not there) He just threw his metals over the White House fence in protest. They were on display in his senate office back when he was running for president. Don't get me started on H Jane

.I have no problem with those who protested or went to Canada. I do have a problem with someone who went to our enemy, sits in one of their anti aircraft guns and has her picture taken. On the same trip she reported a U.S. POW who tried to give her the names of prisoners at that camp to their captors. Resulting in his torture!
If none of that crosses a line, you have no line!! John
 
I did two years in Nam, air rescue medic USAF. There are a number of people, from that era, I'd like to see burn in hell, Jane Fonda is up at the top with LBJ and Jimmy Carter. I'm no liberal but Kerry protested the war AFTER he served his country in Nam not in Canada, to be pardoned. This country now tries to wash its sins away by treating its veterans with cheap talk. My mother would not let me wear my uniform at my fathers funeral, because she didn't want to start trouble. I was, and some today are refused jobs because they might not be "normal". I'll tell you what, I'll never be "normal".
 
Jane Fonda did plenty she needs to account for. Like some of the other posters, my father was a Vietnam combat vet--flying scout helicopters for the Air Cavalry during the Tet offensive. He had nothing good to say about her, and deservedly so.

But I don't think the story about slips of paper and torture is true. http://www.snopes.com/military/fonda.asp
