The Vietnam War opposition movement was led by Communists who WANTED the North Vietnamese Communists to Win over South Vietnam. It was not led by “disillusioned” soldiers who asked “what are we fighting for”.
Hanoi Jane, Jerry Rubin, et al were proud of their associations with Communist leaders. Jane Fonda said we’d all want to live under Communism if we only understood what it was.
The Vietnam antiwar movement was outright treason against the United States engaged in an active war. Siding with the enemy in word and in deed. Undercutting our elected government’s policies, meeting with the enemy, and in the case of Kerry’s group, targeting the assassination of elected members of Congress.
If they’d just restart the war for a couple of weeks and allow folks to fire on the domestic enemies, I think it’d be OK actually.
“Jane Fonda said we’d all want to live under Communism if we only understood what it was.”
One of the funniest and at the same time saddest and most pathetic statements anyone ever said was by Jane Fonda. Here it is, the best I can remember it.
“If you really knew what communism is, you’d get down on your knees and pray for it.”
weegee, can you give me more information about this? I know Kerry was a Winter Soldier traitor but didn't know about targeting the assassination of elected members of Congress.
