When I first heard of this and saw the photos of her on an NVA ADA weapon, I vowed to never again watch a movie or TV show in which she appeared. It's one vow I've had no trouble keeping.

GySgt Jack Wallace - When the bit.. film came out sitting on the air craft guns and showing her support for the Vietnam Communist Party my brother was in the Corps and in Nam. U.S. should have never left her back in the STATES as we should have pulled her citizenship and left her stay and rot in hell.. In my humble opinion!!

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.

I was not in that war I had two brothers who were. And both of them always talked about how officers and Politicians sold them out as well as civilians. I did not understand until truly until Obama pulled us out of Iraq and then Again when Biden pulled us out of Afghanistan. All the time I spent in both countries I just knew we would have bases in both so we were not losers in two more wars. And here again we look like fools for wasting lives and effort on nothing. I now understand better where my brothers were coming from. I nothing but respect for all the Vietnam vets they were used, abused and kicked to the curb.

CSM Charles Hayden - A most excellent tome. H. R. was a contemporary of mine in the USMA History Dept.

SPC Lyle Montgomery - Thank You Brother Lyle for your Service. I was in the Mekong Delta 5/68-4/69 and I remember saying back then that if "They" would only let us fight the way we wanted to, then we could have won the war. I had a great dislike for a "no fire zone". You could always expect to get hit from one.

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. SFC (Join to see) MSG Greg Kelly SPC Doug Bolton SSG Robert Pratt Put me in the camp that refuses to watch her entertainment offerings but will always be attentive to her opinions on "news" programs.

I had to escort Arnett and Neal Ulevich from AP along the DMZ during Lam Son 719. Arnett didn't make many friends amongst the ranks of GIs and grunt Marines.
