We live in a society of such double standards! First of all, let me say I do not condone this type of language, I think is vulgar and absolutely unnecessary, yet we are seeing practically porn shows on national TV (Jerry Springer, some reality shows, etc) but you never heard anyone complaining or apologizing about the content of these shows!

Fonda Jane
Because of what she did to american soldiers in Vietnam. She was against the war so she went to North Vietnam and helped load weapons that were used for killing Americans. She even visited a POW camp where after a soldier slipped her a note with their names on it to tell their loved one they were alive she gave the note to a guard and pointed out the person who gave it to her. He was beat severly. These are all war crimes and she should have been shot, hung or otherwised disposed of. The fact she is still walking around is a slap to the face of every veteran in the United States.

Some of the Vietnam incidents can be read in the Wikipedia article HERE, although it claims she never turned over any documents to the POW camp guards. She *has* expressed regret about her activities in Vietnam - but rather flippantly, in my opinion, so that it seems she has no regret at all.
I remember seeing a film, or possibly news footage, from the Vietnam war, where Hanoi Jane is asking Vietnam soldiers if they "enjoyed killing babies."
When the POW's began returning from Vietnam and described the horrendous conditions they had been subject to, she called them "hypocrites and liars." Simply because the POW's she was allowed to see by the NVA didn't depict those conditions. She was not allowed to actually tour the POW camp itself. Naive? Possibly. But, more likely, she was so set in her opinions that she wouldn't accept any opposing ideas. The communists could do no wrong! She had seen it herself!
Snopes.com has a good article about this also, and debunks the false claims while confirming the truth of her treasonous acts during a time of war - for which she has not substantially apologized.

| Ever since her infamous visit to Hanoi, Jane Fonda has maintained the fiction that she was just "trying to stop the war." But she didn't go to North Vietnam to try to bring about peace, or to reconcile the two warring sides, or to stop American boys from being killed - she went there as an active show of support for the North Vietnamese cause. She lauded the North Vietnamese military, she denounced American soldiers as "war criminals" and urged them to stop fighting, she lobbied to cut off all American economic aid to the South Vietnamese government (even after the Paris Peace Accords had ended U.S. military involvement in Vietnam), she publicly thanked the Soviets for providing assistance to the North Vietnamese, and she branded tortured American POWs as liars possessed of overactive imaginations. In 1988, sixteen years after the fact, Fonda finally met with Vietnam veterans to apologize for her actions. This nationally-televised apology (during which she attempted to minimize her actions by characterizing them as "thoughtless and careless") came at a time when New England vets were successfully disrupting a film project she was working on, leading more than a few to read a huge dollop of self-interest into her apology. Fonda again "apologized" in 2005, an act which not surprisingly once again coincided with the release of a film in which she had a starring role (Monster-in-Law, her first leading role since 1990's Stanley & Iris) and a book tour to promote her autobiography. As she had several years earlier, Fonda made it quite clear that she was apologizing only for posing for photographs while seated at a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun, and even then her "apology" was couched in the most oblique terms possible. |
