This coming March 29 marks the 50th year US forces withdrew from Viet Nam. Two years later, South Vietnam fell.

I am thinking March should be a Viet Nam review month, and repost some old threads about it. Does that sound like a good idea?

>>>Hanoi Jane was bad enough, but I didn’t realize Donald Sutherland was a Commie too.<<<

I didn’t realize it either, until several years ago, my mother casually mentioned one evening that Donald Sutherland was as big an America-hater as Hanoi Jane was.

Treason is defined as giving aid and comfort to an ‘enemy’ of the U.S. or making war against it. Since Congress failed to declare war against North Viet Nam (or any nation since April, 1942) it appears seems that North Viet Nam wasn’t officially our ‘enemy’.

Yes, I know it’s absurd, but there it is. It would nice to think that she would have suffered a lot more for what she did. I’m afraid the worst she’ll suffer is a lot of old men pissing on her grave.

One of my old girlfriends was in a “peace” march. She said she was having “fun” until she went by a veteran in a wheel chair waving a little American flag. She became a staunch conservative and military supporter. She married one of the medics who flew into enemy territory in a Huey in Viet Nam to rescue our troops. So many were young, idealistic and misled then.

He is also in one of my favorite movies “The Dirty Dozen,” which I still watch occasionally. I hold my nose and enjoy it in spite of him being in it.

I have a rust proof pee canister been sitting on the top shelf of my office, labeled “My gift to Hanoi Jane”. With a promise from my daughter that should I pass before Hanoi Jane does my daughter will make sure my gift finds it’s way to wherever they bury her.

There’s a reason he’s called Red Walter.

Jane Fonda, 84, diagnosed with with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is undergoing chemo treatments. She has had multiple forms of cancer including having a dual mastectomy for breast cancer. She has also had two hip replacements and revealed she got a second knee replacement.

How exactly did Nixon ‘sell us out’?

I recall he approached the CCP in the knowledge that the USSR was preparing to nuke China and invade it in the early ‘70s.

Maybe countering the USSR, saving 500 million lives and reducing Chinese support of North Vietnam was his objective?

Nixon was not naive about communists.

“They even used the same symbol - the ‘Ban the Bomb’ symbol morphed into the ‘Peace Symbol’ without any changes.”

They’d be mortified to find that the “Peace Symbol” appeared as a unit symbol on WWII German tanks. One appears on a June cover issue of ‘WWII History’ magazine.

3. The PCPJ and the New Mobe had continuous communications with Hanoi and Moscow and to a degree, Beijing throughout the war. The massive demonstrations they sponsored were scheduled in conjunction with the enemy for timing, thrust (theme), and size.

4. The demonstrations were filled with the usual useful idiots who really just wanted to keep themselves out of the war or people they knew -or just have a good time thumbing their noses at authority.

5 will get you 10 that Antifa operates the same way with more emphasis on China, less on Russia, & without Nam.

And he wasn't that good an actor, either. In MASH, he was merely a caricature of himself (as he perceived himself to be). He struck a chord with the audiences because at that point, all things "rebel", were good. That's what the cool kids did.

But at the end of the day, he's just another flake who wears make-up and plays make believe for a living.

Henry Fonda was a hard core liberal at a time when being "liberal" was primarily a theoretical philosophy. There was little empirical evidence to support the cause.

Now, we're surrounded by massive failures of liberalism in every facet of our existence, and only a fool could continue to support it.

We've become a nation of fools, led by retards, supported by pussies.

Great idea!
I’m getting a Mason Jar from my basement Prepper Supplies, and filling it up, with “instructions”...
