Jane Fonda said she hoped for an open dialogue with veterans after about 50 former military members and supporters protested the actress’s appearance Friday evening at the Weinberg Center for the Arts.
“Whenever possible I try to sit down with vets and talk with them, because I understand and it makes me sad,” Fonda told a relatively full theater, responding to a submitted question. “It hurts me and it will to my grave that I made a huge, huge mistake that made a lot of people think I was against the soldiers.”
In 1972 Fonda visited Hanoi, North Vietnam, where she criticized attacks on the dike system along the Red River. A U.S. investigation later revealed the publicity of these bombings as propaganda. Fonda’s statements and a photograph of her sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft battery outraged many Americans and veterans, leading many to call her “Hanoi Jane” and a “traitor.”
Bob Hartman, an Army veteran who served in Vietnam in 1967 and 1968, said he blamed Fonda for breaking off negotiations among the countries and held her responsible for thousands of American lives.

Her voice was also broadcast over POW camp loudspeakers urging our troops in captivity to “confess their crimes and denounce American aggression” to camp commanders. The destruction to American POWs’ morale was immeasurable.
It's all about her and her feelings.
Um, no thanks there barbarella. ESAD!
Begging is not in her vocabulary.
There is a lot about TREASON that this person does not understand.
Imagine if Betty Grable had visited a FLAK tower in Berlin in 1944, and allowed herself to be used as a propaganda tool of Nazi Germany.
All of American would have been outraged, and screaming for a criminal trial. What Hanoi Jane did was treasonous.
One of my modest goals in life is to live long enough to read Hanoi Jane’s obituary.
Dear Jane,
Pray that God forgives you, because I don’t think it’s in the cards for most veterans.
I’ll forgive Hanoi Jane when the news forgive Hitler. F.U. Jane. I’ll see you in the American Legion restroom
Was Chris Noel there? I think the guys would have appreciated seeing her instead of Hanoi Jane.
On my bucket list is “Pissing” on jane fondas grave!!!
News=Jews. ..stupid spelling corrector
Barbarella gives me a headache, but if she does those things I might be induced to watch Cat Ballou again.
She’d better keep that location a secret, otherwise, the local 7-11 will sell out of cheap beer...
Jane Fonda can kiss this vet’s a$$.
She is a traitorous commie sympathizer, and has been since the 60’s.
At her age, she’s probably nervous about all the urine that will be raining down on her in her grave.
The only problem with that , is the long line!!!
jane fondas grave
The problem goes far beyond Jane. In modern times the United States has not won any war it has been involved in once the democrats took over political power or the power to effectively control government policy. There by helping our enemies to defeat us. This is called treason. And we have an entire party that commits it daily. As far as Jane and the rest of her self righous narcissistic leftists go, she and her ilk are responsible for the deaths and making of tens of thousands of Americans and millions of south east asians. North Vietnam Army commander Gen. Gap said they were ready to give up until the American ani-war movement gave them hope. So Jane you should feel bad. You and your ilk are responsible for the deaths and mutilation of millions. How does that feel, you self righous twit.
You will get no argument from me on that one.
