She really was a traitor

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

This is for all the kids born in the 70's 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"

BY BARBRA WALTERS

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 Vietnam.

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 on to 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, i n! 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 Ban me 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 weights placed 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. RONALD D. SAMPSON, CMSgt, USAF 716 Maintenance Squadron, Chief of Maintenance DSN: 875-6431 COMM: 883-6343

it's amazing (and depressing)that this mentality has survived to this day.

[Danae]

This should be a BARF alert.

I can not STAND that person. So much for Babs 100 greatest eh? I have to wonder where Imelda Marcos stands.... sheesh

[rlmorel]

Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

The fact that Babwah Wahwah is honoring this POS Jane Fonda just reinforces how I feel about her. My opinion on Hanoi Jane is solid and longstanding, given what she did while our men were being tortured in the Hanoi Hilton.

But everytime I wonder if I am perhaps being too judgemental on Babwah Wahwah...she helps me get over it.

[Jim_Curtis]

The Democrats are still dreaming about Jane getting into politics. John Kerry was a the surrogate they had to settle for.

Thanks for posting, I will be sending it out.

There is plenty for which one might criticize Jane Fonda-- *Jane Fonda* for pete's sake-- without having to resort to a long discredited chain letter.

[buffyt]

Too bad they didn't hang her back when she was committing treason.

There is no statue of limitations on Treason. Why is it that this bitch has never had to answer for her behaviour? Why doesn't the AG arrest her.

[RandallFlagg]

Oh, I'd guess it's because the **** would use the arrest as a pulpit that she doesn't deserve or need.

I hope a Veteran hoarks a juicy phlegmglopper on her wherever she goes. Never forgive.

[Prost1]

A very eloquent and touching story.

And let us not forget the severely wounded and maimed who today have not seen the outside of a hospital.

I had a friend who was in the Marines and when he got out he had trouble "adapting". So he spent a few months in the Oaknoll Naval Hospital psychiatric ward (Oakland, CA.).

This ward was immediately pass the amputee ward and was guarded by SP 24 hours because of the types of mental patients - not all were physically injured, but most were trained to kill, at the drop of pin.

Seeing the wounded and the amputees nearly every day was trying. And these were the young men Jane Fonda disparaged! They were crippled for life while she was a glamorous whore.

Forget. No. And I thank you for your service and sacrifice.

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

I don't know why Fonda is not on the cover of Time like the Dizzy Chicks. But I do know that Fonda has to be pretty steamed that she did not get a pulitzer.

She also has got to be mad that she did not get a Nobel Peace prize like Jimmy Carter and Arafat and Kofi Anan. Oh the horror, the injustice of it all. Life just is not fair.

1 - this "Top 100" list came out about 5 years ago

2 - this Jane Fonda story is bogus and has been debunked many many times

3 - thanks for playing

"Why is it that this bitch has never had to answer for her behaviour?"

Vietnam was not a declared war by congress therefore they cannot try her for anything she did or said.
