She asked a question and reading the responses I was amazed at how many folks seemed to either not know what she did or not care any more. Some of them with screen names that reflect associations with the military. I am all about speaking out and up when your country is doing something that is against what you believe but understand, it is the men and women in uniform that have given us that right and freedom. THEY are NEVER to be disrespected or treated with anything other than reverence. Shame on you Jane and shame on some Americans for having such a short memory.

It is because people have no idea how despicable her actions were.
She chose to participate in a publicity stunt with one of the most murderous and evil regimes in history, the Communist movement.
At a time when young guys in their late teens were being ordered to go overseas to fight, she did a photo op on an anti-aircraft gun operated by the enemy.
There are many good ways to protest. But showing public support to Communists who are killing Americans just to get camera time is treason.
Discrediting American POW's and their accounts is shameful.
I do not feel her public apology was anything but an attempt to advance her career. She is still involved in protests because she likes attention.
You can have all the money in the world, and be a celebrity, but if you have no HONOR, you are NOTHING.

I'm angry about it, too. In all honesty, Jane Fonda SHOULD be in jail right now...however, since she apologized, America thinks that she truly is just a good person. HA! She ain't a good person...she was the Benedict Arnold of the Vietnam War. Also, I read her profile. It was a publicity stunt to get people to feel sorry for the woman who publicly betrayed America and thinks that, "I'm sorry," will soften people's hearts and take pity on her. I also think that the American government was too easy on her. After all, she IS the daughter of the late Henry Fonda...I bet that gave her great leeway. Pardon me, but I empathize with all of the Vietnam veterans who hate her guts and think that Hanoi Jane should be where she belongs...in jail.

I sympathize with your realization of short memories, in the US, particularly!
My absolute biggest pet peeve in the whole world, is the idiots who can't remember the Clinton administration of the ninties. These imbeciles with short memories are ready to bring back the evil duo for more of the same, and that just astounds me.
Can anyone with half a brain, explain to me, what good these people, the Clinton's, did to better this country ? If introducing oral sex to our children, half of who are running around with herpes of the mouth, is one of the benefits, then show me another.
How about a woman in the public eye, who browbeat her security force, in public. or how about a woman, in the public eye, who aired her dirty laundry in public because her husband couldn't keep his pants zippered. Or how about a woman, in the public eye, who had the worst language coming from her piehole and in public, for everyone to hear.
How about the woman's husband who protested against his country, in the land of the enemy, the Soviet Union ! How about the woman's husband who feared the US military, the CIA, and the FBI, more than he did the enemy ! This same husband was so naive as a new president, that he suggested since the cold war was over, there was nothing left for the CIA to do, but maybe perform industrial espionage. This same husband suggested to the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, that some of the federal revenue surpluses be put into the money market.
I could go on and on, but then it would look like i'm browbeating, or trying to make a political stand against yet another liberal, like Hanoi Jane !

Even though what Hanoi Jane did thirty years ago was then. The thing of it is she is doing the same thing again with the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. She is siding with the enemy; along with John Kerry and Ted Kennedy and others.

Odd how everyone here remembers her, in spite of your claim of 'lack of remembrance', while only one points out that Johnson lied us into the war, and nobody mentions Nixon extending the war, and the dying, just so he could look tough.
Why is speaking out so much more disrespectful of our troops than failure to lead them honestly or competently?

I support in every Jane's right to speak her mind and say what she will however her actions during the Viet Nam war bordered on treason ( obviously was not truly treason or they would have charged her-believe me they wanted to get her on something).
That was 30 years ago when she was a young woman without the benefit of years of experience she has now. I wonder if she would do anything different if she could?
As for you telling all of us that we must always no matter what have "reverence" for every single service person- thats a bunch of bs. Do not misunderstand I support our servicemen but just don't like you telling me what to revere!
Your shame is wasted! American's no longer have shame -its been deleted from our society.

Take my word for it, she hasn't been forgotten.
I am all for the right to have a dissenting opinion, but there is a point of "no return" where it becomes an act of treason. In time of war that is suppose to carry the death sentence.
So in my minds eye she is a moot issue because she is dead.
