Hooray! For Ike Boutwell, and this news tip courtesy of Cabot Egan posting on alt.war.vietnam.

Treason is a capital crime with no statute of limitations.

Great News!

BTTT!

[perfect stranger]

I'd like to find a web address for the theater to show my support of his decision.

Ike earns a Bravo Zulu. Hit 'em where it hurt$$$

[weegee]

Already posted and not breaking news but certainly worth a BUMP

[StarCMC]

FYI: Also posted here.

This man deserves a standing O for his decision.

[Stellar Dendrite]

What's next?

1. Jane Fonda will cry CENSORSHIP

2. The ACLU will sue on behalf of Jane Fonda and claim that this theater owner is violating her First Amendment rights.

[TeleStraightShooter]

Bully for him!

[Lunatic Fringe]

I would never believed it... someone who can hold a grudge longer than my mother.

[jec41]

Thank you Ike Boutwell!!!!!!!

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Principles over profit. There is some good left in America after all.

[RasterMaster]

One more reason why I love the bluegrass state!

[Seaplaner]

More than 30 years after the war's end, Boutwell still bears a grudge.

Ike Boutwell, job well done, sir. This grudge-bearing veteran salutes you.

And, I'm also still chuckling about the tobacco juice guy (yeah, yeah, it was not right. I'm still chuckling about it, however.)

I seem to recall that the Commander of one of San Antonio's Air Force Bases back in the 1980s saw Jane Fonda exercise videos on sale in the BX and, as a former POW, hit the roof. He ordered them removed immediately, and they stayed gone while he was in charge.

Sal Mancuso, who fought in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam war. He thinks Fonda should be in prison for treason.

Mancuso and a whole lot of other Americans.

Not Fonda Jane Bump!

"More than 30 years after the war's end, Boutwell still bears a grudge."

It's not a "grudge," that is like some frivolous slight that gets forgotten over time,Mr. Friedlein. This act of treason has never been adjucated and sentenced. It's NOT to be considered as just some inconsequential "grudge."

Fonda is an affront and insult to America.

[Paul Atreides]

I think the movie isn't doing too well, box office-wise.

Back in the 80s when I was stationed onboard the USS Duluth (LPD-6), someone put a Jane Fonde movie (can't remember which one) on the ship's entertainment system. Well, the CO found out about it and went down and yanked out the video. Then he got on the ship's 1MC and told the crew about what Jane did in North Vietnam (i.e. posing next to the anti-aircraft gun that shot down U.S. pilots).
