"Did you read the rest of my post?"

Just to make it clear what your original post said.

"Several years ago, Hanoi Jane was signing books at a publicity event. A Viet Nam Vet stood in line with a big wad of chewing tobacco. When it was "his turn," he nailed her right in the face and said he was "returning the favor." Although I don't condone his act, I certainly understand why he did it."

I underlined what I suspect you're referring to.

That makes no difference. It's a weasel way of disconnecting yourself from that Vet. What he did a thousand other Vets would have liked to have done! She deserved to have been tried as a traitor and shot.

Once again,I condone his act, I applaud his act, I support his act & He did it for all the guys that didn't come back the the world while she has the privilege of "LIFE, LIBERTY and HER PURSUTE of COMMUNISUM".

I'm a military veteran. When returning from deployments, I've stopped and spent time with the Viet Nam era vets who welcome me and my troops when we return. I have always thanked them for ensuring we never received the same greeting they received. Some of them teared up in response.

I'd love to see Hanoi Jane properly tried for treason and properly hanged.

However, I don't use the fact that an enemy does something to justify commiting the same act. Afterall, our middle-eastern enemies rape. Should we retaliate in kind?
