All of these answers are true. But if I may add, Jan Fonda was married to a war protester who became a Congressman, Tom Hayden. He kept the government off her. Later after she dropped Tom Hayden, she married the dude from the Super Station in Atlanta (Ted Turner) and they contributed so much money to the Democratic Party that nobody would come after her for treason. Then, she divorced Ted Turner.
Today she shouts against our war in the Middle East and people think she knows what she is talking about because she is a famous actor. Younger people don't know or care to know that she was the cause of many of our POWs in Viet Nam to be treated harshly.
She is truly a traitor.

JF went to Vietnam to "protest" the war. She met with the enemy (treason) and was invited to tour the POW camps.
The POWs, American soldiers held as prisoners of war, wrote down their social security numbers to "palm" them to JF so that she could contact the American government, who could then at least let these men's families know they were alive. The POWs thought that Jane's gig was a ploy to be able to get a message to our government. They were wrong.
As she was touring the POW camp, the soldiers were instructed to bow and shake her hand, in which they palmed their SSN to her. She gathered them all up and then turned them all over to the Viet Cong. The soldiers were beaten so badly after she left that four of them died from their beatings.
She did other stuff, but that is what she is most known for. They called her Hanoi Jane for many years; some still do.
How she manages to live in this country and not be hanged for high treason is beyond me.

so many great answers, just to add my two cents worth, she gave the communist north what they wanted, more propoganda to be used by the American media to influence the public. THey did not want to beat our military on the battlefield, they knew they couldn't, they just wanted to wait till we went home, after we did, they strenghtened up and started the third war, the one which the south fought and lost on their own

She sided with the communist Viet Cong and was sort of a poster child for them. While I do believe the Viet-Nam was was a win less war and we shouldn't have been there, you do not pick sides with the enemy and politic for them.

Jane Fonda was quoted
in the Detroit Free Press of November 22, 1970
as having told a student audience
at Michigan State University;
"I would think
that if you understood
what communism was
you would hope,
you would pray on your knees,
that we would someday become communists."

She visited Viet Nam, and gave encouragement to the enemy. She also caused the death of several American POWs when he tried to contact her while she was there.
Good old Hanoi Jane. True American there.
