Regardless of how you felt about the Viet Nam War, or even if you weren't
alive during it, you should know this. We should all know this,
especially today. Veterns Day. The day we all should thank those who
served this country. And those who died for her.
Looks like Hanoi Jane may be honored as one of the "100 Women of the
Century". JANE FONDA remembered? Unfortunately, many have forgotten and
still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the
idea of our "country" but the men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane Fonda's
participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is one of them.
Part of my conviction comes from exposure to those who suffered her
attentions.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry
Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF Survival School
was a former POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton." Dragged from a
stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJs, he was
ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient
and humane treatment" he'd received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and
dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp
commandant's feet, accidentally pulling the man's shoe off - which sent that
officer berserk. In 1978, the Air Force colonel still suffered from double
vision (which pemanently ended his flying days) from the Vietnamese
colonel's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1983-85, Col. Larry Carrigan was the 347FW/DO (F-4Es). He spent 6
years in the "Hilton" - the first three of which he was "missing in action".
His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the
cleaned/fed/clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that
they still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his SSN
on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms.
Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and
asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed
babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent
captors?"
Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of
paper. She took them all without missing a beat. At the end of the line and
once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she
turned to the officer in charge...and handed him the little pile. Three
men died from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost number
four. For years after their release, a group of determined former POWs,
including Col. Carrigan, tried to bring Ms. Fonda and others up on charges
of treason.
I don't know that they used it, but the charge of "Negligent Homicide due
to Depraved Indifference" would also seem appropriate. Her obvious
"granting of aid and comfort to the enemy," alone, should have been
sufficient for the treason count. However, to date, Jane Fonda has never
been formally charged with anything and continues to enjoy the privileged
life of the rich and famous. I, personally, think that this is shame on us,
the American Citizenry. Part of our shortfall is ignorance: most don't know
such actions ever took place. Thought you might appreciate the knowledge.
Most of you've probably already seen this by now...only addition I might add
to these sentiments is to remember the satisfaction of relieving myself into
the urinal at some airbase or another where "zaps" of Hanoi Jane's face had
been applied.
To whom it may concern: I was a civilian economic development advisor in
Viet Nam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Viet
Nam in 1968, and held for over 5 years. I spent 27 months in solitary
confinement, one year in a cage in Cambodia, and one year in a "blackbox" in
Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a
female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam,
whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I was
weighing approximately 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.) We were Jane
Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the
camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with Jane
Fonda. I said yes, for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we
POWs were receiving, which was far different from the treatment purported by
the North Vietnamese, and parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees with
outstretched arms with a piece of steel placed on my hands, and beaten with
a bamboo cane every time my arms dipped. I had the opportunity to meet with
Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after I was released. I asked her if she
would be willing to debate me on TV. She did not answer me, her former
husband, Tom Hayden, answered for her. She was mind controlled by her
husband. This does not exemplify someone who should be honored as "100
Years of Great Women." After I was released, I was asked what I thought of
Jane Fonda and the anti-war movement. I said that I held Joan Baez's
husband in very high regard, for he thought the war was wrong, burned his
draft card and went to prison in protest.
If the other anti-war protesters took this same route, it would have
brought our judicial system to a halt and ended the war much earlier, and
there wouldn't be as many on that somber black granite wall called the
Vietnam Memorial. This is democracy. This is the American way. Jane Fonda,
on the other hand, chose to be a traitor, and went to Hanoi, wore their
uniform, propagandized for the communists, and urged American soldiers to
desert.
As we were being tortured, and some of the POWs murdered, she called us
liars. After her heroes-the North Vietnamese communists-took over South
Vietnam, they systematically murdered 80,000 South vietnamese political
prisoners. May their souls rest on her head forever. History is a heavy
sword in the hands of those who refuse to forget it.
Think of this the next time you see Ms. Fonda-Turner at a Braves game.
Please take the time to read and forward to as many people as you possibly
can. It will eventually end up on her computer and she needs to know that
"we will never forget". Lest we forget..."100 years of great women" Jane
Fonda should never be considered. Please pass this along to everyone you
know. Thanks.
