This was sent to me via e-mail by someone I trust and is a fellow vet. So after you read it let me know what you think. Personaly I don't think she should be Honored for shit. In fact I think she should of been tried for treason and punished accordingly. Keep in mind this is all true stuff here and documented.

That's horrible. I had no idea she was going to be honored for anything, didnt think there was much to talk about before reading this. Now I'm going to have to do some web searches on this topic.

Hmmmm well that email you got seems to be a bit one sided and I would like to know more about that forced talking part (can't find anything else about it online). Blame that on my scepticism if you must :P That aside I would hardly call her a traitor for simply acting as she felt was right (regardless of others agreement). So far as I can tell she did not do anything I would personally call traitorus (killing, destruction, subvertment, etc...). Also being ranked in the top 100 women is rather meaningless as I see it, no prize, no privillage, no anything from it.

Are you serious?
She turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper. You know the ones with ssn numbers they gave her. OMFG did you read the whole thing. You say she didn’t kill anyone. Bullshit...Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Let me ask you something. What if you were one of those guys, think you would be saying what you are right now. Let me ask you another question. Are you an American. Born here, not from some other country? And this isn’t really one sided. Shit man this stuff was on the freaking history channel. Not that exact moment in time, but plenty of footage and documentation showing her support for the enemies.

The one reason I don't believe this is the part where it tells you to send this to as many people as you can. If it eventually lands in her inbox, why not send it into her inbox right away? I mean, sheesh, no point in waiting for it to get in there.

But I stand unhindered in my disbelief of this email message.

You know what I went and did? Silly me, I went out and did some research and found some very interesting reading. Protoss you are partly correct, but theres alot more to it than that. Check out this link http://www.snopes.com/military/fonda.asp
shit man I knew I should of researched this before posting. I had a little chat with my friend and chain letters about five mins ago. Still she did some bad shit just not all that was said.

@ Trog
That made me lol

@ bush
Well she was a good deal before my time so I have the filter of history to look back through. Maybe she did lie about the treatment, maybe she was shown some POWs that were treated fairly, maybe the soilders did lie. Whatever it was I doubt there will ever be a clear answer in the history books. Thus I believe she is protected by the "innocent until proven guilty" thing. Anyway I can't be one to say what happened but I will say that no one should be guilty without proof of guilt.

Darkian>> Hmmmm well that email you got seems to be a bit one sided...

Most facts are. Claiming that 2 + 2 = 4 instead of 5 is certainly "one-sided";
it also happens to be true. The "one-sidedness" of an issue or event is
completely irrelevant; the question is, IS IT TRUE??

Darkian>> ...and I would like to know more about that forced talking part
Darkian>> (can't find anything else about it online).

You didn't look very hard. The tortures and beatings of POWs by the Viet
Cong are so well-documented as to render this comment unbelievable.
Try this link to a website authored by Mike McGrath (President of NAM-POWs.
POW 30 June 67 to 4 march 73. ( mmcgrath@iex.net )) for example:

http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/hanoijan.htm

While debunking the myth about the slips of paper, he also makes it clear
that the tortures and beatings of POWs are facts of reality:

"Bottom line: Who are these guys who pretend to know who the POWs are,
what we are, how we think and thought, how we conducted ourselves, what
we said, what we did, or why we did whatever. There are over 50 books
written by or about us which pretty much detail our ordeal. For book list, see
our web site at: ( www.eos.net/rrva/nampow/nampows.html ) If that isn't
enough, please contact us personally and get the straight story. Over 280
of our e-mail addresses are on the NAM-POW web site. We also list the
300 or so Phony POWs on the Hall of Shame. But please don't attribute
anything to us that is not verified. Thanks. Mike For those with a genuine
interest to find out about us, I suggest you get a very recently released
book, 700 pages of hard hitting researched reality, "Honor Bound," by
Frederick Kiley and Stuart Rochester (recently nominated for a Pulitzer
for this work). This by far is the most comprehensive work ever done on
our ordeal. Do you want to find out the truth about the Cuban Program, the
torture, the brutality, etc. Just pick up your phone and call the Naval Institute
at: 1-800-233-8764. Read this book first, then we'll talk to you about real
POW experiences in Hanoi... not false stories of Hanoi."

Further links abound, and are unfindable only through intellectual laziness.

Darkian>> Blame that on my scepticism if you must...

Scepticism in the face of subjectivism is good. Scepticism in the face of
clearly documented evidence, however, is something else entirely: it is a
complete suspension of judgment, a refusal to recognize the facts of reality,
and only punishes the good while rewarding the evil. Those who don't stand
up for the truth stand for nothing and ARE nothing.

Hanoi Jane's actions in promoting the Viet Cong--our enemy at the time--
are clearly documented: photographs of her sitting on top of anti-aircraft
artillery batteries, for example, or her radio broadcast from North Vietnam.
See this links for further information:


http://www.1stcavmedic.com/jane_fonda.htm
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Fonda#.22Hanoi_Jane.22

Darkian>> That aside I would hardly call her a traitor for simply acting as she
Darkian>> felt was right (regardless of others agreement)...

Irrelevant. Actions are traitorous due to whether or not they promote the ends
of the enemy, not as a function of someone's belief system. Benedict Arnold's
actions in revealing Revolutionary troop movements to the enemy are most
definitely traitorous; what his beliefs about the war were doesn't mean a damn
thing.

Darkian>> ...So far as I can tell she did not do anything I would personally call
Darkian>> traitorus (killing, destruction, subvertment, etc...).

Really? How about this:
"Fonda visited Hanoi in July 1972. She is credited with publicly exposing
Richard Nixon's potential strategy of bombing the dikes in Vietnam."
(Wikipedia link)

To reveal information in regard to war strategy to the enemy certainly ranks as
"traitorous" in my opinion.

Darkian>> Well she was a good deal before my time so I have the filter of
Darkian>> history to look back through. Maybe she did lie about the treatment,
Darkian>> maybe she was shown some POWs that were treated fairly, maybe
Darkian>> the soilders did lie. Whatever it was I doubt there will ever be a clear
Darkian>> answer in the history books.

The history is actually quite clear, unless you want to claim that your eyeballs
can't see and your ears can't hear. Jane Fonda herself, in 1988, said the
following:

"I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but
to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen
because of things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the
war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm
very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families.
[...] I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft gun,
which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. It hurt so many
soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly
have done. It was just thoughtless." (Wikipedia)

Bush> She's not innocent...she's a freaking ahole for even saying the crap she
Bush> said and all the other crap she did.

Darkian>> Maybe so, however, people have the right to be aholes.

Sure. But they DON'T have the right to subvert our military actions in time of
war, nor do they have the right to meet with the enemy and take photo-shoots
on the anti-aircraft guns that are busy shooting down our soldiers. Nor spew
out propaganda on their radio stations. Lord Haw-Haw and Tokyo Rose were
both--properly--convicted of treason for engaging in these kinds of activities
during previous wars.

Darkian>> All I'm saying is that I personally do not see the evidence of guilt.

Open your eyes and ears and quit whitewashing evil. That would be the proper and humane thing to do...

Darakian

Who ever said I was whitewashing? All I'm doing is stating that I am no athourity to judge and that I have not done the proper research to give a valid judgement. Frankly I really don't have the motivation to do the research either as all oif this is done with and the only contemporary subject involving fonda is a "100 best women" list as rated by some random news host. Not really my area of interest. If it makes you feel better I am not trying to dismiss your argument or trying to say you are wrong. All I am doing it saying that I need to do my own research before I come to a decision.

Erm,Darakian,you might wanna stop arguing with the facts.

Man,I hate getting to these topics late,but since it's kinda recent,I just can't stand these freakin idiots that give away our battleplans to the enemy because they don't like Bush/don't like Republicans/don't like war even though it goes on longer because of this/are freakin liberal media morons. All these stupid anti-war protests earned us our first and hopefully only loss in Vietnam. Had morons like John Kerry and his goons shut their yaps,our forces could easily break through as Vietnam was suffering under something similiar to what we were and ready to fall apart.

And I agree. Honoring a lady that exposed one of our vital attack plans and got POWs killed is like honoring the New York Times for exposing Bush's plan to eavesdrop on all TERRORIST connections. Man,our country is sucky in ways like this. I wonder what they do in Canada...
