Thanks, Bob. Reasonable people have known for a long time that these
right-wing hate stories are false. The people who believe the stories
don't
care.

Reasonable people also know what it means when they see an American actress
laughing and joking while sitting on a Triple A battery wearing an NVA
helmet. Was that newsreel footage falsified by right wing haters Tom?

Don, the part about posing on AA batteries is true. She was protesting the
human rights abuses that resulted when the US government dropped more tonnage
of bombs on a very small country than was dropped by the entire Allied Air
Forces in all of WW2, but she did it in a way that was inappropriate.

The garbage about spitting on prisoners or giving their notes to the guard
captain are fantasies of the right-wing hate machine. That's what got me to
post to this thread. I don't approve of her conduct in NVN, although my ETS
was 1968, so I was out by the time of the incident.

Fonda was a dumb twenty-something who did stupid things, not unlike others who
dodged the draft or stayed drunk all the time racking up criminal convictions.
Thank God she is not our president or vice-president, where a lack of judgment
can do great harm!

Turns out she was right that the war was a colossal mistake, but some of the
things she did to oppose the war caused needless pain to good people. She has
since apologized publicly and often for those bad choices, unlike some of the
others who behaved badly at that time. Thank God she is not president or
vice-president, where a lack of judgment can get a lot of people killed
needlessly!

Tom
