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.
Earth to Jane...dear...solder means a HUMANOID destroying things and/or killing other humanoids!(that's people Jane).
Jane, I can not comprehend your below first grade mentality. Common babe, is this all you've got?
This little lady sounds like she needs another spitin' (although that would be wrong and I do not advocate it).

Well we were one of the first to use guerilla warfare, during the revolutionary war. However to say we invented modern warfare is a strech. The Germans did during ww2. We just had more planes, more GIs, and a less terrible leader.
Thanks. Hope you're ready for a Merry Christmas!
On the Sauce again.
Hey Jane this is for you:
"The mission of Marine artillery is to kill as many Godless enemy bastards and their subhuman, immoral cohorts as possible with the least expenditure of munitions and to integrate all supporting fires to restore cave dwelling as an accepted way of life in the former enemy region!"
Kerry's soulmate.
As the sticker on the back of my truck says,
I WILL FORGIVE JANE FONDA
WHEN THE JEWS FORGIVE HITLER
This traiterous piece of trash can't help but spew her Communist crap while she enjoys the wealth the country she hates enabled her to have.
Her and "Tookie" Williams would make a good pair. May she join him soon.
This began," Fonda maintained, "because the military discovered that in World War II and Korea, [U.S.] soldiers weren't killing enough."
I guess those two Japanese they let get off Okinawa was being a bit too charitable?
psst...see tag line...and mine, too! Karen Hughes is the 27th! W surrounds himself with Christmastime babies ----good selection! ha ha
In Late October, Fonda appeared on French TV, which we get at our house because my wife is a French teacher. Fonda was asked if she regretted anything about her activities at that time. She answered that she regretted nothing. "Rien du tout!" Then corrected herself , adding that the "seule chose" ("only thing") she regretted was that she smiled so stupidly for the photo with the anti-aircraft gun. It was broadcast on "TV5" about 6 or seven weeks ago.
Obviously her apology to those of us who served at that time and had to bear the reproach of the Fonda/Kerry "Hate the Troops" campaign, was insincere.
Let me see your war face, son!
Did WaPo publish this email? Jane Fonda is an easy target but did she really write this stuff?
My BS meter is beeping.
Well Golly Jane. Are ya sure? Is that why our snipers practice one shot-one kill tactics? Is that why our combat troops are quite possibly the finest instruments of warfare ever? Is that why other militaries KNOW that to stand up against US forces on any battlefield is suicide? Even the Chinese and the Russians conceded this point. They pin their hopes on mass waves beig able to overload our capabilities...
Yeah Jane, they ARE killing machines....they are in the military dearie...the kill people and break things in order to defeat an enemy.
I suppose they should lose the killing aspect of their jobs and work on needlepoint.
"Hanoi Jane" Fonda is at it again!
Yeaaaaaaaa you tell em bro
U.S. Troops Are 'Killing Machines ??/ DAMN RIGHT ..Funny thing is when the rest of the world ( those who put us downespecially ) get in trouble, they come crying to , and hide behind the BIG BAD US KILLING MACHINES>
Well looks like you will have a Merry Christmas AND a wonderful birthday. How can you help it when you share it with such a good crowd!
