Barbara Walters on Jane Fonda

I wish my little brother was still amongst us. I would love to get his re-action
to Ms Fonda (excuse me Hanoi Jane) behavior in Vietnam!

I remember this..............

Subject: Barbara Walters on Jane Fonda

[PP NOTE: Many of the ' Baby Boomers' lost friends and family in
the Vietnam war. A war lost by our government.  There were over
58,00 U.S. soldier casualties and more than 303,000 U.S. soldiers
wounded. Jane Fonda was a traitor, being honored by another traitor.]



Barbara Walters on Jane Fonda:

Jane Fonda was on 3 times this week talking about her new
book. . . and how good she feels in her 70s. . . She still does
not know what she did wrong. . ..

Her book just may not make the bestseller list if more people knew.

Barbara Walters said: Thank you all. Many died in Vietnam for
our freedoms. I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her
now. She can lead her present life the way she wants and perhaps
SHE can forget the past, but we DO NOT have to stand by without
comment and see her honored" as a "Woman of the Century."

(I remember this well.)

For those who served and/or died. . .

NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR.

SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR!!!

And now President Obama wants to honor her!!!

In Memory of Lt. C. Thomsen Wieland, who spent 100 days at the
Hanoi Hilton [infamous North Vietnam prison] --

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED. KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA.

This is for all the kids born in the 70s and after who do not
remember, and didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers,
mothers and older brothers and sisters had to bear.

Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century."

Barbara Walters writes: Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still
countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only
the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed
during the Vietnam War.

The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is
Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the
USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison, the "Hanoi Hilton."

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed
in clean PJ's, 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 was dragged away. During the
subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet,
which sent that                  officer berserk.

In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision
(which permanently ended his flying career) from the commandant's
frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He
spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . the first three of which his
family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith
that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed
and 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 were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a
tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security number 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
all the little pieces of paper...

Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was
almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we
know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and was
captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968,
and held prisoner for over 5 years.

I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage
in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North
Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female
missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam,
whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time,
I weighed only about 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 her. I said
yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs
received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported
by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees,
with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight strapped on my
hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was
released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on
TV. She never did answer me.

These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who
should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest
we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a
traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi
Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please
take the time to 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.
