Jane Fonda - Poster Child For The Viet Cong Dishonors Vets ...Again

Jane Fonda, so-so actress and daughter of a damn good actor, Henry Fonda, is less noted for her acting ability ( although she did win an Oscar for Best Actress in "Klute") and more for her activist activities, most notably her opposition to the Vietnam War.

A little history:

In July, 1972 Ms. Fonda ventured to Vietnam, not to visit U.S troops as many celebrities did

Hanoi Jane with North

back then, but to collaborate with the enemy in North Vietnam. During her trip, Fonda made ten radio broadcasts in which she denounced American political and military leaders as "war criminals". Her collaboration with the enemy earned her the nickname "Hanoi Jane." Fonda was photographed seated on an anti-aircraft battery. The controversial photo outraged many Americans and servicemen. Some 33 years later, she has regrets, not that she made the trip to Hanoi, but that she allowed that picture to be taken. Read More: Jane Says Photo In Hanoi Was A Mistake (Video)

Now, forty-one years later, and on the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War, Hanoi Jane is once again putting down Vietnam Vets. Read More: Fonda Disses Viet Vets Again

Ms. Fonda has the right to say whatever she wants...freedom of speech. The sad part is she forgets that it was the Vietnam vet along with all the veterans in wars before and since, fought, and many gave their lives, so that Jane Fonda would have that right.
