A lot of people died at the hands of the communist in South East Asia AFTER we left. Maybe if it hadn't been for her and the people who supported her, we could have saved those people.
I am afraid you have fallen for us being the bad guys crap, hook, line, and sinker. You have no idea what you are talking about.
One of the beautiful things about America is that people have the right to protest things that they personally do not agree with. Hence I have no problem with Jane Fonda having thought 'Nam was a sham and all that. It was well within her rights to do so. However, she changed the ballgame when she flew over to 'Nam and basically became a propaganda piece for our enemies. She recorded radio messages for them, and posed for photographs (including the famous one where she was seated on an AA site used to shoot down USAF planes). She basically became a propaganda piece for the enemy.
There is a huge difference between being against a war, and becoming propaganda/ammo for the enemy.
And I still think that the spittle of that vet who spat on her was wasted on a person like Jane Fonda. She is not even worth the dust off his boots.
Again, it is ok to protest a war. There is freedom of speech and thought in this great nation. However that doesn't mean that one should go overseas and literally help the enemy form a propaganda piece. And even though one doesn't support a war that does not mean they should be acerbic towards the soldiers (guess which people were among the main recipients of J.Fonda's pictures and radio messages ....POWs were. American prisoners of war who were made to believe that their country ahd abandoned them, especially when 'proof' was given in the form of Fonda's radio snippets and showed JFonda in all her glory sitting on AA pads).
She was a traitor. And saying that she was 'young and dumb' doesn't absolve that (in the same way that Johnny 'American Taliban' Walker cannot absolve his criminal and traitorous actions by saying he was 'young and naive').
She wasn't "Young"...she was 34. Dumb, I will give to you.
But, you don't seem to swift either; or how could you have said this: "how would any of us feel if we lost a father/brother/sister in that crap-hole country and now our government wants to cozy up for geographical/monetary gain." ?
Many of us DID have relatives and friends who died there! And JANES FRIENDS KILLED THEM!
My question to you is did you serve your country in A time of war? If you did I will respect your choice to forgive her. But if you did not you have no clue how these VETERANS feel. As A MARINE and A Desert Storm VETERAN I have no clue why she is A aloud to stay in this country and prosper the way she is after what she has done.
