This account doesn't begin to describe jane fonda's treacherous actions against our soldier who were prisoners of her 'hosts' on that trip!

In desperation a few of our soldiers risked secretly passing messages to fonda hoping this "fellow American" would help them.... fonda took these messages and promptly handed them over to the soldier's captors!

No, I do not forgive jane fonda. I want her arrested and tried as the traitor she is!

Claim: Jane Fonda betrayed U.S. POWs during the Viet Nam War.

Status: Multiple:

During a 1972 trip to North Vietnam, Jane Fonda propagandized on behalf of the North Vietnamese government, declared that American POWs were being treated humanely and condemned U.S. soldiers as "war criminals" and later denounced them as liars for claiming they had been tortured: True.

Jane Fonda handed over to their captors the slips of paper POWs pressed upon her: False.
