This article is for those who are 30 and younger and weren’t alive, nor are they aware of a time, when Jane Fonda, Leftist actress, visited North Vietnam during the height of the Vietnam War to basically protest US involvement there. For you who are younger, let’s get a few things out there. First, when I say Leftist actress, that is actually an oxymoron, meaning you can’t be an actress in today’s media (who isn’t blacklisted) without being a Leftist.
Secondly, Jane Fonda was an actress who was minimally talented, but had a great acting pedigree from her father, Henry Fonda. Therefore, despite her talent’s shortcomings, she was given a sort of free pass when it came to expressing herself. If you doubt me, look at her father’s work in “12 Angry Men” (a must see) versus her work in “Barbarella.”
Fonda, like all proclaimed Communists, decided to travel to North Vietnam for a visit that she now claims was to just draw attention to the US bombing of levies that “would have killed two million people.” Failing to mention the fact that North Vietnamese were already committing genocide on their own people in South Vietnam, Fonda, in essence, took the opportunity to attend one infamous ceremony where she posed in front of a soldier holding an anti-aircraft rocket launcher and received a backlash from veterans like virtually no other.
Read on the next page how Fonda, in an interview on BBC at the ripe old age of 78, has opted to paint over the truth and offer an alternative facts-based Fake News version of what really happened while on that visit that earned her the nickname of “Hanoi Jane!”
I was in Vietnam , and YOU Ms Fonda , should be ashamed of yourself to even PRETEND to be an AMERICAN.
why didn’t you stay over there
Proud you got our American POW’s beat for trying to get their name back to their family? You traitorous$#%&!@* how dare you be proud of your treachery.
Traitorous$#%&!@*
There are many who consider Fonda a Traitor. Many also think she should stay in Hanoi as that is where Her loyalty seems to be. She should be in Prison for acts of a Traitor.
deplorable
I saw this BS interview! Now she says she regrets going to Hanoi! And they got it all wrong! She should have been hung for treason. Hanoi JANE. NEVER FORGET.
What a birch. Go back to your friends in NAM
Traitor
Viet Nam was happening when the article appeared about Jane Fonda and the pieces of paper, that’s how old the story is. However some dispute it and here is part of what snopes says: “Despite the claims of hundreds of Vietnam veterans who maintain they were “there” and affirm that accounts like the “smuggled Social Security number betrayal” are true because they supposedly witnessed them, the fact is that Fonda met only seven American POWs while in North Vietnam: Edison Miller, Walter Wilber, James Padgett, David Wesley Hoffman, Kenneth James Fraser, William G. Byrns, and Edward Elias. None of those men reported her sabotaging their attempts to slip her information about themselves, and anyone other than those seven men who asserts he was “there” and witnessed such a scene is simply not telling the truth.” So, maybe it was f**e news long time ago? Maybe it did happen, only she knows!!!
