This article is for those who are 30 and younger and weren’t alive, nor are they aware of a time, when Jane Fonda, Leftist actress, visited North Vietnam during the height of the Vietnam War to basically protest US involvement there. For you who are younger, let’s get a few things out there. First, when I say Leftist actress, that is actually an oxymoron, meaning you can’t be an actress in today’s media (who isn’t blacklisted) without being a Leftist.
Secondly, Jane Fonda was an actress who was minimally talented, but had a great acting pedigree from her father, Henry Fonda. Therefore, despite her talent’s shortcomings, she was given a sort of free pass when it came to expressing herself. If you doubt me, look at her father’s work in “12 Angry Men” (a must see) versus her work in “Barbarella.”
Fonda, like all proclaimed Communists, decided to travel to North Vietnam for a visit that she now claims was to just draw attention to the US bombing of levies that “would have killed two million people.” Failing to mention the fact that North Vietnamese were already committing genocide on their own people in South Vietnam, Fonda, in essence, took the opportunity to attend one infamous ceremony where she posed in front of a soldier holding an anti-aircraft rocket launcher and received a backlash from veterans like virtually no other.
Read on the next page how Fonda, in an interview on BBC at the ripe old age of 78, has opted to paint over the truth and offer an alternative facts-based Fake News version of what really happened while on that visit that earned her the nickname of “Hanoi Jane!”
I would be proud if she had stayed in North Vietnam.
How about her comment she wished she could shoot down an American fighter plane with an anti-aircraft gun she was sitting on.
She was, & still is a Communist at heart! All you have to do is look at her recent activist antics! Hanoi Jane, the Vietnam Veterans (me included) remember what you did in Vietnam & will NEVER forget, or forgive your anti-American actions& words! Go silently into the darkness!
She turned over a note our captured prisoners gave to her to the North Vietnese commander on their treatment. Soldier was beaten and they broke his legs
What a bitch She needs to be shot
Soooo ignorant and stupid that to this day she doesn’t understand why a whole generation of soldiers HATE her with a purple passion.
Explain how the POWs she met with and when she shook hands with them, they handed her their social security numbers to her….she turned them over to the head of the prison…subsequently, all received severe beatings…..you can ‘revision’ all you want, Jane, but those men are proof of your actions…
She regrets the picture because it is a constant reminder, to her as well as the American public, that she was, is, and always will be a communist traitor.
It is not the “far-right” that is against Jane Fonda, it is the veterans, myself included, that don’t like you for what you did. If it wasn’t for who her father was, she would have been tried for giving comfort and aid to the enemy. Veterans, especially Vietnam Veterans, aren’t Fonda Jane and they never will be. What she did crossed the line and some of the POWs suffered for it.
As a Marine Nam Vet. All I have to say is F@@k Fonda her Commie ways, her love of Betnam and her inane protest of all that is AMERCAN
