This man is both a clod and a coward. As much as I dislike Jane Fonda, no gentleman would behave in this way.
I'm glad to have scrolled down far enough to read your post.
We ARE better than this. Thanks for your post, Keith. I couldn't have said it better.
What a pity that it is just one letter off of what SHOULD have happened.
The Vietnam war was the longest in our nation's history.
1st American advisor was killed on June 08, 1956,
and the last casualties in connection with the war occurred on May 15, 1975, during the Mayaquez incident. Approximately 2.7 million Americans served in the war zone; 300,000 were wounded and approximately 75,000 permanently disabled. Officially there are still 1,991 Americans unaccounted for from SE Asia.
Vietnam was a savage, in your face war where death could and did strike from anywhere with absolutely no warning. The brave young men and women who fought that war paid an awful price of blood, pain and suffering. As it is said: "ALL GAVE SOME ... SOME GAVE ALL"
The Vietnam war was not lost on the battlefield. No American force in ANY other conflict fought with more determination or sheer courage than the Vietnam Veteran. For the first time in our history America sent it's young men and women into a war run by inept politicians who had no grasp of military strategies and no moral will to win. They were led by "top brass" who were concerned mainly with furthering their own careers, most neither understood the nature of the war nor had a clue about the impossible mission with which they'd tasked their soldiers. And the war was reported by a self serving Media who penned stories filled with inaccuracies, deliberate omissions, biased presentations and blatant distorted interpretations because they were more interested in a story than the truth! It can be debated that we should never have fought that war. It can also be argued that the young Americans who fought so courageously, never losing a single major battle, helped in a huge way to WIN THE COLD WAR.
We've been better than this for thirty years, if she wanted
to live a quiet life she would never hear another word about
her past betrayal.
We decided our lives were more valuable than her's a long time ago, that's the only reason she's even alive today.
As for her "apologies", Nixon gave better and knew enough
to leave.
She has never apologized, only parsed.
I agree. First give her a fair trial, then hang her.
Vietnam will do that to you. 1970s America will do it even worse, for those who come back alive. I don't think you should judge.
"As much as I dislike Jane Fonda, no gentleman would behave in this way."
I do not respect any "gentle_man" for that title alone, in fact, I frown upon the man who wears panties and expects my admiration for it.

Maybe not. I wasn't in Viet Nam. However, I have always had the deepest respect for those who serve our country.
If this man had spat on her book and then stood bravely for whatever came of it, fine. I can understand the anger of a veteran of any war toward Jane Fonda. She is a despicable human being. But to assault a sitting, elderly woman is unnacceptable, in my opinion.
