"I pledge, on the grave of my dear friend, James William Lunsford.....who gave his life in Vietnam, to do everything in my power to get the truth out about Comrade Kerry."

Good for you. It's something we owe to everybody who ever served honorably.

Here are a list of Jane Fonda's comments she made while in North Vietnam in July of 1972 as compiled by Bruce Herschensohn:

"I'm very honored to be a guest in your country, and I loudly condemn the crimes that have been committed by the U.S. Government in the name of the American people against your country. A growing number of people in the United States not only demand an end to the war, an end to the bombing, a withdrawal of all U.S. troops, and an end to the support of the Thieu clique, but we identify with the struggle of your people. We have understood that we have a common enemy: U.S. imperialism...

"I want to publicly accuse Nixon of being a new-type Hitler whose crimes are being unveiled. I want to publicly charge that while waging the war of aggression in Vietnam he has betrayed everything the American people have at heart. The tragedy is for the United States and not for the Vietnamese people, because the Vietnamese people will soon regain their independence and freedom...

"To the U.S. servicemen who are stationed on the aircraft carriers in the Gulf of Tonkin, those of you who load the bombs on the planes should know that those weapons are illegal. And the use of those bombs or condoning the use of those bombs, makes one a war criminal.

"I'm not a pacifist. I understand why the Vietnamese are fighting...against a white man's racist aggression. We know what U.S. imperialism has done to our country so we know what lies in store for any third world country that could have the misfortune of falling into the hands of a country such as the United States and becoming a colony...You know that when Nixon says the war is winding down, that he's lying."

Within six months our military involvement was over.
