So, now that Hanoi Jane's movie is #42 - think she'll get the message and quit trying?

Jane Fonda laid low for years after her Hanoi stunts. The only reason she didn't go to prison was out of respect for her father. Now she wants us all to forget she's a traitor. Think it'll work??

Update:

Well little barb - I was there and yes I was alive back then. Jane wentto a country with which we were at war and gave "aid and confort" to our enemy. POWs tried to get her to help them and she turned the information over to the Viet Cong who inturn tortured and killed the prisoners. She took publicity photos on antiaircraft guns that were shooting at American airplanes. Yes, I DO think I know what I am talking about. Were you there??

Update 2:

bullwinkle - I didn't have a rousing good time there. I also did not have a rousing good time in the first Gulf war - so I think I'll skip this one. Retired CPO.

    OK, she did do crimes against the American soldiers by sitting and laughing on an anti-aircraft gun. She also reported American POWS to their captors when they passed her slips of paper with their names on it.

    Why bring back something that happened over 30 YEARS ago especially since you obviously know NOTHING about it-----the only thing she did was PUBLICLY PROTEST THE VIETNAM WAR----she did not commit any crime against the government or anyone ELSE hence she was not sent to any prisons--it had NOTHING to do with her father Henry. Second, I THINK we have an amendment to the constitution which gives all AMERICANS the "freedom of speech"...if that freedom means only speech that is APPROVED of by anyone, doesn't that therefore NEGATE said FREEDOM??????? You may not have liked her political views or you may have secretly been rooting for her way back when, but if you weren't there, weren't alive back then, didn't fight OR protest back then, then you really have no opinion worth spouting off EXCEPT for the fact that you TOO were given that RIGHT OF FREEDOM OF SPEECH.... Jane Fonda was just a very outspoken PUBLIC FIGURE (being an actress)... and that was ALL SHE WAS..... and like I said---that was over 30 years ago.... we have more to worry about now then what Jane Fonda did way back when.....

    I guess you think Viet Nam was a rousing good adventure. I suggest you volunteer for Iraq.

    Hopefully her Hanoi stunts is like a bad case of the herpes and the effects will never go away.

    "Traitor" is a ridiculously loaded term. She protested the Vietnam war, she didn't sell the enemy some damn maps of where our troops were stationed.

    I personally don't care either way. The Vietnam war was horrible and pointless, but I always thought she was kind of an asshole regardless of her stance.

    She might actually be pleased since 42 is the answer to the meaning of life.

    Time to forgive and forget, wouldn't you say?

    She has had plenty of success since then.

    She is getting old and past her movie making prime, that's all!
