Jane Fonda: U.S. Troops Are 'Killing Machines'
"Hanoi Jane" Fonda is claiming that ever since Vietnam, U.S. troops have been trained to commit atrocities against innocent civilians as a matter of military policy.
"Starting with the Vietnam War we began training soldiers differently," the anti-American actress says in an email to the Washington Post.
Fonda claims she learned of the policy switch in "secret meetings" she had with military psychologists "who were really worried about what was happening to our combat personnel."
One doctor, she insists, told her U.S. troops had been deliberately trained to be "killing machines."
"This began," Fonda maintained, "because the military discovered that in World War II and Korea, [U.S.] soldiers weren't killing enough."
"So they changed training procedures" to teach troops how to commit atrocities.
Still, the anti-war gadfly cautions, it's important not to blame the soldiers themselves for carrying out war crimes.
Recalling the "Winter Soldier" hearings that she and John Kerry staged in 1971, Fonda lamented: "When you put young people into an atrocity-producing situation where enemy and civilian are commingled, where the 'other side' is dehumanized, we cannot be surprised."
Anti-war vets now returning from Iraq, Fonda cautioned, should be listened to instead of being dismissed as "unpatriotic."
"We have not learned the lessons of Vietnam," she declared.
True. But now, she should simply be committed.
That is the same thing I thought as soon as I read this! She doesn't tell us that the doctor was her psychiatrist. I can't believe these people are given as much press time as they are. What jerks.
As far as having a "less terrible leader"- what are you saying with that statement? Our leaders (Roosevel and Truman) were great men by any standard, especially compared to Hitler, Hirohito, and Stalin.
Jane Commie Fonda has been having "secret meetings" with the voices in her head again. But she gets more publicity from the leftmedia than most schizos.
Her money makes her even more dangerous than her mouth.
This is actually true. Many soldiers did not or rarely fired their weapons in combat. Turned out that leaders and soldiers with specialized weapons or crew-served weapons fired a lot more and further, that often all it took to get a soldier started was a leader to personally direct him to fire. As a result, the military reorganized the squad into fire teams in order to increase the "leader to led" ratio and introduced more weapons such as grenade launchers and automatic rifles/light machine-guns. The idea was that soldiers would feel more of an individual purpose or responsibility to the rest of the squad and were therefore more likely to engage the enemy than "Hey, I'm just a rifleman--I'll just keep my head down and wait this out."
Yep, communist Vietnam has the utmost praise for traitors hanoi jane & skerry.
.
Today on Talk Radio http://www.Newsmax.com 's CARL LIMBACHER informed us that JANE FONDA financed the JOHN KERRY New Soldiers Activities that led to his going before Congress to call us American Soldiers fighting for Freedom in South Vietnam ...
...rapists & terrrorists who cut off heads & ears.
NUTS

Well.... So what's your point???
Thanks, Jane. We do try, good to see it doesn't go unnoticed.
I'm not Fonda cunning runts publicity stunts that dis the grunts.........doom on her !
You're darn right, Hanoi Jane. And, I mean that in a very, very good way. Killing machines: fear us, our enemies.
Jane: They are when they have to be, you ignorant, arrogant, foolish woman! Right now they are killing evil people who would very much like to kill YOU. When they're not busy doing that, they are re-building a very broken country, and teaching people about freedom. Most of those people have never known it before. They only knew pain and fear before we showed up, but that is of no consequence to fools such as yourself. Do yourself a favor. Shut your mouth before someone does it for you. Many have not forgotten what you did to our guys in another war.
I have a "no violence / no threats" filter in my conscience.
I have no further comment on Fonda at this time.
You're good.
That woman is every horrible gutter-name you can imagine. She is NOTHING but garbage. N*O*T*H*I*N*G but.
"Dear Hanoi Jane"
OK, fine; you vile, treasonous, skank, bitch.
If I live longer than you do, I was already going to pi$$ on your grave. Now I'm going to have to sh!t on it.
Believe me, you treasonous skank, there will be chartered buses.
We won't forget.
Darn, I must have missed something in basic and AIT, we were taught how to kill, which is what soldiers do, but I must have missed the classes on how to commit atrocities.
I knew her so-called apology for her Vietnam miscreance was empty.
