Believe some (?) number of Vietnam veterans have such a deep emotional connection to Vietnam - mostly negative - that they feel they have to justify their participation however enthusiastic, voluntary, or under protest. Any person like Jane Fonda, who came out against it becomes ~like~ an enemy. That's irrational, and UNlike their reaction to Walter Cronkite, who came out against it and was loved for it.

Jane needs a big red white and blue dildo stuck up her ass, that will straighten her out. It's hard to let go of vietnam espcially when you've lost your arms and legs at 18 years of age.To live your whole life like this. Of course I have hate, hate like you wouldn't believe. So fuck you Jane I can't wait untill you die!!! That will relieve some of my hate.

As an anti-war activist, I am offended by some of the claims Jane Fonda makes against American POWs.

[mattm3520]

Jane Fonda will never know the balls a U.S. soldier has when he goes into that jungle pit of hell. To say that the POWs were war criminals is outrageous. It was a fucked up war on every side, so Jane, please, try not to cling to the NVA so much.

[mattm3520]

Jane Fonda claims that the POWs in Hanoi were not tortured. That's a load of shit. The POWs were raped, beaten, and starved by the fucked up North Vietnamese government, that she so kindly toured Hanoi with. I do not support Jane Fonda's trip to North Vietnam. The Viet-Cong were just kids, and I do not show hate for them. The North Vietnamese government, however, was brutal, and they killed countless amounts innocent men, women, and children on the fall of Saigon.

I agree with Jane Fonda's anti-war stance on Vietnam, however, she was very one-sided. All sides were fucked up, the North Vietnamese, the South, and the US. The Viet-Cong were brainwashed teenagers who didn't know what they were doing, similar to the US soldiers. I don't have any anger to the Viet-Cong or the U.S. military. I blame the governments for the brainwashing. That being said, Jane Fonda's outrageous claims that the POWs were "lying and self-righteous" is absurd.
