I mean she pretty much did herself in when she took that photo.

Could you imagine if one of today's anti-war celebrities like George Clooney went and sat in the back of an ISIS Toyota with a machine gun and took a photo?

There is no excusing her radio broadcasts.

Of course there is. That useless war needed to end, and people were correct to speak out.

I take this stuff personally because with a lottery number of 9 and having been called in to take an Army physical before induction I was THIS CLOSE to going over there, myself.

She has always claimed the pictures were a set-up. OK.

She gave multiple anti-American radio broadcasts while she was over there. The name "Hanoi Jane" is a play on "Tokyo Rose".

If it involves a left winger, Snopes is not to be trusted.

At the SubVets building in CT there were 2 urinals. One of the urinals had a sticker in it with Jane Fonda's face and the words "Jane you ignorant slut".

I ALWAYS pissed in that one. Even if someone was pissing at that particular urinal and the other one was open I would wait... just so I could piss all over Jane Fonda's face.

Just thought you should know that.

Fonda made radio broadcasts on Hanoi Radio throughout her two-week tour, commenting on her visits to villages, hospitals, schools, and factories damaged in the war and denouncing U.S. military policy in Vietnam. Fonda has defended her decision to travel to North Vietnam and her radio broadcasts.[41][42] During the course of her visit, Fonda visited American prisoners of war (POWs), and brought back messages from them to their families. When stories of torture of returning POWs were later being publicized by the Nixon administration, Fonda called the returning POWs "hypocrites and liars and pawns", adding about the prisoners she visited, "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed."[43] In addition, Fonda told The New York Times in 1973, "I'm quite sure that there were incidents of torture ... but the pilots who were saying it was the policy of the Vietnamese and that it was systematic, I believe that's a lie."[44] Her visits to the POW camp led to persistent and exaggerated rumors which were repeated widely in the press and continued to circulate on the Internet decades later. Fonda, as well as the named POWs, have personally denied the rumors,[40] and subsequent interviews with the POWs showed these rumored allegations to be false as the persons named had never met Fonda.[42]

Sang this on many runs. Good times.

Chesty Puller on Pork Chop Hill,
Said there's only 5 things that I wanna kill,
A lion, a tiger, a kangaroo,
A long haired hippie and Jane Fonda too,
If I could only kill just one
I'd shoot that bitch and let the hippie run,
Singing Jane is a commie,
Kill her for your mommie,
Jane is a commie,
KILL HER FOR YOUR MOMMA!

It's amazing to me how the left is essentially proud of the failures of Vietnam...they get giddy when mentioning it so they can make some false point about imperialism.
