Looking for LittleBarb and bullwinkle? A note from the front.?

She really was a traitor

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED

KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA

This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do

not remember, and didn't have to bear the

burden that our fathers, mothers and older

brothers and sisters had to bear.

Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the

"100 Women of the Century."

BY BARBRA WALTERS

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still

countless others have never known how Ms.

Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country,

but specific men who served and sacrificed

during Vietnam.

The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot

The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.

In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF

Survival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison

the "Hanoi Hilton."

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell,

cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was

ordered to describe for a visiting American

"Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane

treatment" he'd received.

He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was

dragged away.

During the subsequent beating, he fell forward

on to the camp Commandant' s feet, which

sent that officer berserk.

In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from

double vision (which permanently ended his

flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied

application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the

47FW/DO (F-4E's) He spent 6 years in the

"Hanoi Hilton",,, the first three of which his

family only knew he was "missing in action".

His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.

His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and

clothed routine in preparation for a

"peace delegation" visit.

They, however, had time and devised a plan to

get word to the world that they were alive

and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny

piece of paper, with his Social Secur ity Number

on it, ! in the pa lm of his hand.

When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a

cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each

man's hand and asking little encouraging

snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed

babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane

treatment from your benevolent captors?"

Believing this HAD to be an act, they each

palmed her their sliver of paper.

She took them all without missing a beat. At the

end of the line and once the camera stopped

rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs,

she turned to the officer in charge and handed

him all the little pieces of paper.

Three men died from the subsequent beatings.

Colonel Carrigan was almost number four

but he survived, which is the only reason we

know of her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor

in Vietnam, and was captured by the North

Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in

1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years. < /FONT>

I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one

year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year

in a "black box" in Hanoi.

My North Vietnamese captors deliberately

poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a

nurse in a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South

Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the

Cambodian border.

At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs.

(My normal weight is 170 lbs.)

We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."

When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by

the camp communist political officer if I would

be willing to meet with her.

I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real

treatment we POWs received... and how

different it was from the treatment purported by

the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as

"humane and lenient."

Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky

floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched

with a large steel weights placed on my hands,

and beaten with a bamboo cane.

I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda

soon after I was released. I asked her

if she would be willing to debate me on TV.

She never did answer me.

These first-hand experiences do not exemplify

someone who should be honored as part

of "100 Years of Great Women."

Lest we forget..." 100 Years of Great Women"

should never include a traitor whose hands are

covered with the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral

reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in

blatant treason, is one of them.

Please take the time to forward to as many

people as you possibly can.

It will eventually end up on her computer and

she needs to know that we will never forget.

PLEASE HELP BY SENDING THIS TO

EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. IF

ENOUGH PEOPLE SEE THIS MAYBE HER

STATUS WILL CHANGE

Update:

So, what do you think about Hanoi Jane?

    Yes, she is a traitor. Protesting the war is one thing, which is totally acceptable in a free society, but going over to the other side to show one's disagreement is NO NO. A lot of Americans are now protesting the war in Iraq but they aren't supporting the al-Qaida.
