MARCH AT THE WALL
VIETNAM VETS & THE NEW PROTESTERS
By THOMAS P. EVANS
March 13, 2007 --
MENTION Jane Fonda to any 10 Vietnam veterans, and at least seven of them will have some sort of conniption right on the spot. Spread the rumor that Hanoi Jane will be leading the anti-war protest march from the Vietnam Memorial Wall to the Pentagon on Saturday, and a battalion of 60-year-old Vietnam veterans is ready to do battle again.
Rumors are flying over the Internet....

I think he's giving the witch the benefit of the doubt, it's more like 9 out of 10.
I agree, the 1 out of 10 being a kerry,murtha,or gore.
I was really amazed when she came back out from under her rock to protest the Iraq war. I didn't believe her half vast apology on Vietnam but I figured she'd had enough scorn from decent people, she proved me wrong.
She has the blood of our bravest and noblest on her hands, that's all I will ever remember of her.
Hey Buddy,
Just another aging skank in search of relevance. Godless and narcissistic, yet receiving little enforcement, except from the other aging irrelevants. Not enough looks nor skills to even catch a supporting role, even in Hypercommie Hollywood.
For Shame. Sucks to be her. Thank God.
Lotsa people are going to think of things to post that would be deleted.
Bets are on she chickens out of the "protest."
Gathering of Eagles ping!
Hiya Jeff,
You definitely got all that right. There are very few people that I really dislike but she's at the top of the list. As a grandma of mine used to say, "she's a hateful person."
In 1973, Hanoi Jane lived just off Laurel canyon Boulevard in Studio City, California. Another Vietnam Vet LAPD officer and I were detailed to bodyguard her while she sat in her house. We did our duty, because we were professionals but it was difficult. Words cannot convey my dislike for the thoughtless b*tch.
Some of these loony people still seem think it is 1967 and Iraq is Vietnam. im serious.
Ping for the day

"Not many Vietnam veterans were around for that march on the Pentagon 40 years ago. We were in a different world, a world few anti-war protesters could even imagine. Maybe because we missed all that four decades ago, we want to be there this time."
"It won't feel right to us Vietnam vets to face protesters with our backs to the Vietnam Wall. Many of us will be glancing over our shoulders at the names on the Wall every once in a while. And some of us will shed a few tears when we do."
Did you know that the original "march" they are celebrating actually took place in October 40 years ago?
It's true, they readjusted history to say that it took place in March just for this rally.
Tidbit on this thread. I posted an announcement from the antiwar protesters here:

Veterans to protect memorial
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.

In Fonda’s Footsteps: Murtha, Kucinich, and the Antiwar Movement’s Economic War
By Fedora
There is only one way to end this war. Cut off the funds.

Kerry : Help is on the way! Hanoi Jane Partners with MoveOn.Org
'Hanoi Jane' Fonda is teamed up with a leading anti-Bush 527 group in a bid to register millions of women voters to cast their ballots for her old anti-war protest partner, John Kerry.
"First I picked Edwards BUT now I pick Hanoi Jane!"
Edwards played football in 1971 when he turned 18
instead of serving in Vietnam.
Hanoi Jane at least was a Viet Cong!
Just like me!
Hanoi Jane and I know how to demoralize US Troops serving today!
We hate US Troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We hate all US Troops!
We lie about them in 2004 the same as we did in the 60's and 70's!
We vow to insult and undermine Iraq Prime Minister Ayad Allawi
We vow to protect the UN and the Oil for Food Scandal
We vow to keep secret the ties between Saddam Hussein and Al Qaida
We vow to free Saddam Hussein with help from our old friend Ramsey Clark.

We will take it from here, Tonk. Thanks again for your service, Sir!
The writer misrepresented the anniversary thing. The commies never claimed March 17th was the anniversary of their previous march, only the year. The REAL anniversary they are celebrating is the liberation of Iraq.
Spread the rumor that Hanoi Jane will be leading the anti-war protest march
Hmmmmm, rumor? She has disappeared off the radar, hasn't she? She spoke at and led the march on January 27th. I'm sure she will be there Saturday trying to become the star once again.
Brother Tonk will be in my thoughts this Saturday.

Let us hope many that served in the Vietnam War, and can now attend these honorable actions, find their souls healed.
I do know that a lot of us are going. I am not recommending that first timers make this their first Wall visit. It could be a bad scene. It is normally emotional anyway.
I will be there. I am taking another Nam Vet with me. We are preparing for battle, hoping that it is not necessary. Some things are worth fighting for.

God bless you, sir. Thank you for your service.
Bump.
No, my thanks go to you. I was shown a few kindnesses by complete strangers on occasion when I was on my way and coming back. You are the folks who kept my head above water during the verbal abuse I received in the coming years.
These anti-war types, have no idea the level of betrayal you feel when called a baby-killer, a waste of tax-payers money, etc when you get back from war. It has taken me years to be able to express the enormity of the impact of our hostile reception. Many of my brothers have never recovered from the trauma of return.
Many of us have a lot of very deep seated rage at these low-lifes. I pray that we shall be able to manage it. While we are committed to dignity, we will not litely roll over to attempted disruptions.
We are not bound by the UCMJ anymore, as Veterans. We are bound by decency and fairness. As long as the protestors respect the diginity of the memorials, it will just be a big homecoming for many of us.
Apparently, the word is getting out to them, that they may have indulged their brazenness and braggadocio a bit much on this occasion. Battle is something in our experience, and we learned from it. They are not dealing with amateurs.
They have the right to peaceable assembly. They have no protected right to infringe on the rights of others to do so. That, we will enforce.
God speed for a safe journey and return.
BUMP
PING!

We MISS you, Tonk!!
Thanks for the ping, freema!
Bump for Tonk and God Bless him.
Thanks for post and ping.

Truman sent the CIA(OSS at the time) to Vietnam in the mid-late 40's.
Look up about Lt. Col. A. Peter Dewey - he's probably not on the wall.
