We all agree that what Fonda did thirty-five years ago is
reprehensible -- as was what John Kerry did -- but there
is a difference. Kerry, to the best of my knowledge,
never signed Form 180 or made ANY apology for his disgraceful behaviour. Jane Fonda was a Hollywood dimwit
and caught up in a very tumultuous period in American
history. I don't care about her book sales -- she doesn't
need the money. Perhaps she is trying, in her own way,
to say , "I'm sorry." Perhaps not. I don't pretend to be
certain because I can't read minds. But I do say that as
conservatives we should be faithful enough to our beliefs
that we can extend the benefit of the doubt and not be
full of rancour and hatred.
Obviously you weren't spit upon when you came home from Vietnam.
This Marine feels that Hanoi Jane deserves EVERYTHING she gets and much, much, more.
There is a Black Granite Wall in Washington D.C. with the names of those who died in Vietnam.....
Jane Fonda (along with John Kerry) painted those young men listed on that Black Granite Wall as rapists....murderers...as baby killers.
I do not believe that forgivness is in order.

If Hanoi Jane were trying "in her own way" to say she's sorry, it would have been very simple - here's how you do it:
She simply says "I'm sorry for my actions in support of the enemies of the United States, and for insulting those defending this country."
She hasn't done that and never will, for one simple reason: she's made it amply clear she is NOT sorry.
So far she hasn't really apologized. She's given only the Liberal mealy-mouth apology, "I'm sorry if anyone was offended by what I did." She's never said "I"m sorry for what I did."
I survived, but I lost too many buddies over there to settle for a namby-pamby apology from Hanoi Jane.
