However, if a person wants to do that, they can, can't they? For me, I detest hearing a 17 year old student make a casual remark about WWII being so long ago. 'Let it go.' Oh, yes. Just like Vietnam and Hanoi Jane. And people making judgements about the choices made and call others dumb. REALLY?
I can't let go of what Richard Gere did after 9/11. I liked him so much, but, now, I think he is a total weenie. He stood in Madison Square Garden explaining how we should "let it go..." Is that DUMB, Ken?
After nearly 50 years - yeah, it's DUMB.
We are no longer enemies with Vietnam and in fact, I've read many stories of Vietnam War vets (some of them former POWs themselves) who have since returned to Vietnam and made peace with themselves and their former captors (including John McCain, and Douglas Peterson - who later became the 1st US ambassador to Hanoi following normalization of diplomatic relations).
Fonda herself has apologized several times - admitting she was both wrong and stupid for what she did (and as it turns out most of the worst stories (such as the one about her handing over to the North Vietnamese messages given to her by POWs) about what she did in North Vietnam are outright lies that were simply MADE UP and spread in viral e-mails). What Fonda did was pretty bad, but NOBODY deserves to have bogus stories like that made up about them.
Holding on to bitterness like you are really only hurts YOU.
...but it's your choice.

The person trying to organize the boycott is an idiot.
The movie is not "Starring" Jane Fonda - she's in a supporting role (like lots of other actors).

She was in a supporting role in the war too........supporting the enemy.
My uncle was a hippie and went AWOL to go find his girlfriend in California. Said he spend a night in the same jail cell as Manson. I think he's full of sheet about that one but he can still rip it on his Les Paul. He didn't hang out with VC troops though.

In other words, you have your usual blather with no supporting facts.
