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.

She should have been charged with treason years ago!

Her type just can't help themselves. During which week of basic training is atrocities instruction provided?

Oh yes. We practically invented modern warfare. As my grandfather put it, "We made killing and blowing things up an art form. On the battlefield, in the sea and in the air we are unmatched." My grandfather, may his soul rest in peace, was an Army Engineer.

Dear Traitor,
Our armed forces are trained to be killing machines, and trained to be honorable--honorable killing machines.
You have been trianed to be a anti-American POS traitor. The only truth you have ever said was what you just said--our troops are killing machines, and thank God they have the command and leadership and training to be just that.

That's true. You can never kill enough of the enemy.

"We have not learned the lessons of Vietnam," [Fonda] declared."
Looks to me like Jane hasn't learned the lessons of Vietnam. Now the best thing we can hope for is that she is splashed all over the media with all the usual suspects fawning and sniveling with her. Good work, Jane! You make our case about y'all so crystal clear.
