MARCH AT THE WALL

VIETNAM VETS & THE NEW PROTESTERS

By THOMAS P. EVANS


Red flag: Jane Fonda protesting the Iraq War prompts memories of her propaganda for the enemy in Vietnam, like crooning from a Hanoi anti-aircraft gun in '72.

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 went off the deep end, that is for sure.

She and her ilk are now the image of Cindy Sheehan.

I've never cared about her motivations, it's just beyond my ability to comprehend.

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."

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.

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.

12 Feb 55 - President Eisenhower's administration sends 1st 350 U.S. advisers to South Vietnam
to train the South Vietnamese Army
08 Jun 56 - 1st American advisor was killed
5 Sep 56 - President Eisenhower tells a news conference that the French are
"involved in a hopelessly losing war in Indochina"

About Vietnam

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.
