Jane Fonda on Radio Hanoi | WNYC | New York Public Radio, Podcasts, Live Streaming Radio, News

I have absolutely no respect for that commie loving bitch. Sen John Kerry is no better.

Disgusting and treasonous acts performed by a fellow citizen who thought she was doing the right thing in support of her belief that this country was fighting a morally wrong war and that her celebrity "voice" would advance the anti-war movement in this country. At the time, too, she was in love with one of the most recognized and outspoken critics of the war in Vietnam, Tom Hayden. To me, her actions at the time were the very definition of "young and stupid." The North Vietnamese cashed in on it big time, of course, and she became a lasting symbol of betrayal and anti-Americanism; sentiments which persist to this day. While she has gone on to fame and fortune, those two weeks in Southeast Asia earned her the lasting enmity of a large section of our society including the vast majority of US veterans who served there; her latter-day apologies falling on deaf ears. Its my opinion that this whole, disastrous "Hanoi Jane" episode drew attention away from those truly culpable for the shenanigans being pulled and the mistakes being made in Vietnam at the time by high-ranking members of our government. That is Presidents LBJ and Nixon and SecDef Robert McNamara who later in life made the truly treasonous admission that, "We knew going in that we couldn't win the war in Vietnam." To a degree, these and others on the civilian side effectively "hid behind" Jane Fonda's skirts for a very long time. BTW, our military kicked Communist asses all over SE Asia during that time only to be sold out by our political "leadership." MAJ Dale E.

Disappointed in the apologists for this quisling here on RP. For those of us in country at the time, reminders of her are like a wound that won't scab over. For those who get their history listening to "The View", a good eye opener is General Giap's book, "How we won the War". She, Uncle Ho Rather, Commie Cronkite, Pinko Peter Arnett, and of course, Rice Butt Kerry were more effective than whole divisions of NVA., MAJ Dale E. Wilson, Ph.D. LTC Tom Jones CWO3 Dennis M.
