I served in south east Asia during Vietnam and was spit on by the public when I returned in uniform. I didn't accept the disrespect then and I will not now. Since then I have never watched anything with Jane Fonda and never will. Don't think I missed much. And if the football ratings plummet as they should, maybe these idiots will realize they need the viewing public or their paychecks will also plummet. I am probably in the minority with this opinion but so be it.

Thank you for you service first and foremost: I don't watch foot ball so I don't tune in But I did call my ex-husband and asked his thoughts because he too is a Viet Nam Vet. 18 years ago he was diagnosed with PTSD so he IS entitled to a point of view. Here are his views. (almost sorry I asked)
1. Hanoi Jane should have been tried for treason. She should have never been allowed to make one thin dime of American money. What's her net worth?
Why doesn't 45 have anything to say about her?
2. Cassius Clay was a DRAFT DODGER who became Muhammad Ali after he changed his religion to muslim and his conviction was over turned. Couldn't fight for this country could only beat people to a bloody pulp with his hands. He never should have been able to make one thin dime of American money. What was his net worth?
3. 2 Presidents pardoned DRAFT DODGERS and MILITARY DESERTERS Ford in 1974 with restrictions then Carter again in 1977 lifted the restrictions.
4. He thinks that people should be able to stand for 3 lousy minutes.
He also feels that bigger fish have been fried over the years, and the Nation has looked the other way and moved on, that's why Hanoi Jane still works and Muhammad Ali still won titles.
He also served for the right of the people of the Nation to be free and not oppressed, like they were in Viet Nam.
5.He has less of a problem with these guys and their protests, because they do feel that kneeling IS more respectful then sitting, then he does with the Neo Nazi, he hates them! He feels hate has no place here!
I still don't watch football! |
