Traitor or smoking pot at age 70+. Which is more pathetic? You decide.
When she’s high weed she can forget what she did.
The only news concerning Jane Fonda that will ever interest me will include the words: “natural causes”.
I hear hemp has many uses.
“I was born in 66, too young of course to fight in Vietnam”
Be glad it was a terrible time. I went to college in 66 and when the draft (They called it the Lottery) came we all sat around and watched the numbers get drawn. One guy in my Sociology class drew 5 so the next day he gave me all of his notes and left for Canada. I never saw him again. I knew guys who got killed and a friend of mine had to have 13 operations from stepping on a land mine and he still walked with a limp. Another guy I knew was a Cobra pilot. I think the life expectancy for a Cobra pilot was 90 days. He got shot down twice. Second time the co pilot’s head landed in his lap. He is still squirrely today. I wonder why? 50,000 guys dead to get involved in what was basically a Civil War in a little two bit country that in no way endangered our National Security.
Jane Fonda was a traitor for going over to N Vietnam and sitting on a gun turret and the only reason she was not brought up on treason charges (in my opinion) was because her father was a national icon and they just couldn’t bear to do it. But the war itself was insanity we never should have gotten involved. In the end we turned tail and ran and the North Vietnamese won and took over the whole country anyway.
These smirky little 60’s punks never grow up.
My uncle went and he had to shoot a kid. Was never the same after that. It was either shoot or be blown to bits by a satchel bomb. Can you imagine making that decision? Then they get the pleasure of coming home to a bunch of ingrates.
You see those POW/ MIA flags. Take a good look Jane because that sweet thing you call air was paid for in blood.
Sorry about the rant, but my uncle is one of the nicest people you would ever meet, and I take it personal. Regards Georgia Girl.

To the best of my memory, my lottery/draft number was 314. Before the drawing I remembering thinking “If I get called, I’ll answer the call”, and after the lottery thinking “What a relief that my number is so high”.
One of my brothers went to Nam, and thankfully returned safe and sane (well, kinda sane, he’s a left-leaner).
Regardless of the rightness or wrongness of our entering the war, siding with the enemy like Jane did is just plain evil.
“siding with the enemy like Jane did is just plain evil.”
Agreed
Vietnam was a civil war? 10 Divisions of Chinese troops in North Vietnam. Oh, they were just illegal aliens looking for work. Stay up with the conversation.
Hasn’t this old fart grown up yet?
May I also use the phrase, "aiding and abetting the enemy"?
“Vietnam was a civil war?”
Yes it was.
