I enter the US Army Military Police July 31 1972, while Vietnam was still going on. I thank Jane Fonda for her courageous activities to help shorten this horrible and mistaken war. Reports of her giving notes written by POWs to captures is false, easy to check out. Thank you Jane for helping to shorten the war and saving many lives, possibly mine.

The traitors are the faceless oligarchs that control wealth in our country. The industrial military complex. The politicians that many people blame are just puppets. The mass media outlets are a machine; manipulated by the very same people that profit from war. We all witnessed these last four years the extent to which they will go to maintain control or as we saw most recently the money they will spend to get it back. Get ready folks, more money is made by war than building bridges. |

This is interesting.
The Colonel name in the story, completely denies it ever happened. Col. Jerry Driscoll Debunks the Jane Fonda Vietnam Hoax - YouTube |
Don’t be so naive. Vietnam like all wars was blood and guts, death and hell. Jane Fonda knew exactly what she was doing. Her statements apologizing ring hollow. She can’t apologize to those that died and suffered. She can’t apologize to those families who lost their sons, who lost their fathers. She can’t apologize to those that survived because we know all the real truth.

The Hollywood elite. Not much difference back then than now.

No one is perfect. You have to weigh the bad against the good to define their true character. You say you donate to Greenpeace and now that you found out Jane Fonda donates her time to make it better for everyone you are going to punish Greenpeace?
What does that say about your character? |

Uncle Ho and the Cong would never have given up in that struggle even if it continued ad absurdum. LBJ still hung on to the "Domino' theory. Maybe the right move in Korea in 1950 but not in French Indochina.

First, to all who served in VIetnam, THANK YOU and WELCOME HOME!!! One of the great tragedies of that war, the one where the US did not belong, is that we, the people, blamed the heroes who were there, giving their lives and body parts in the name of US democracy. Our great citizens criticized those heroes, spat at them when they returned home and refused to give them jobs and housing upon their return. That war was a tremendous blemish in our history. Jane Fonda had the gonads to stand and tell the truth and worked tirelessly to bring an end to that war and get our soldiers home. I salute her. I appreciate her and all the demonstrators who opposed that war and raised their voices to call out the perpetrators of that travesty. Good on you JANE!!! And again, to all Vietnam vets, thank you and welcome home.

Why bring up more old politics
Folks we are already so divided, as much or more than the 60s.
Why would we add to the divisions now by bringing up such a controversial issue from the past? This had to set off more negative emotion feelings and continue to split us in half. We need to unite over Positives not negatives. |

Viet Nam
My husband was in Viet Nam and lost 29 West Point classmates there. It was a terrible and totally unnecessary war. Whether Jane Fonda is a hero or not depending on each person's opinion, the picture of her standing with a big gun aimed at our air planes will never be forgotten. There were other ways for her to protest.
|
Very smart move!!!
|
Also, we were told by Viet Nam vets in the know that when Jane visited the prison camp, each soldier handed her a tiny slip of paper with their social security number on it as she shook their hands but at the end, she turned the papers over to the guard. This story has been told so many times that I do believe it.

Jane was very young, made a mistake, and has apologized again and again. Geenpeace is an amazing organization, withdrawing support and writing a letter about Jane will show them. Jane is worth 200 million dollars, I'm sure you withdrawing your measly support will devastate them.

Is she? how many times does she have to apologize before you think she is repentant? |

Johnson was responsible for the war and it didn't have to do with politics over there but $$ and power. Hanoi Jane "was" hated by many and it continues on today. She's very liberal in her ideologies. Why anyone would say she did a lot for the war effort must have been smoking weed. The man who was tortured because of her (don't know if he's still living) probably would disagree vehemently with JimJohnson on his comments.

What are you squawking about? We've haven't won a war in 70 years. They all died for nothing. I used my 2-S deferment. LBJ put it in to be used by us patriots. There's a good reason why we're universally hated thru out the world.
|
We’re you there? I don’t recall any irreparable harm. I remember a lot of people dying for reasons that became increasingly unsupportable when subjected to the scrutiny of a free press and public outrage. The protests became a movement and leaders emerged and then the unpopular war ended.

And you know this how
