The degrees of treason here differ. She was an ACK-TORE with one year of college. Kerry was an officer in the U. S. Navy with 4 years of Yale behind him who lied to Congress (and became a pretty-much permanent U. S. Senator). The penalty, however, is the same.
What is less frequently traced to La Fonda is the Vietnam Wall, a clear victory for the antimilitary forces in the U. S. at the time.
And you're wrong: Jane Fonda was an active leader in the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice, a CPUSA front group. She founded and ran Save our Soldiers, a recruitment effort to try to snare some of the less-committed active duty troops to her cause. She ran the F--k The Army (FTA) "guerilla theater" outfit to subvert military discipline and unity.
Kerry only met with the enemy once, as far as we know - Fonda was in continuous communication with them, along with her doofus husband, Tom Hayden.
Don't fall for "poor little actress" scam: she was a cold-eyed, committed revolutionary and an America hater of the first rank.
Agreed Mach 9. Treason is not just a military crime, but I understand the difference between a guy who used the military to advance his political career and a actress who while wrong, believed she was doing right. But her daddy should have bent her over the hood of a car and used a strap on her behind! Kerry should have been put in Federal Prison.
