As a Veitnam vet, I am in complete agreement with ProudCapMarine and SaliorDave. Hanoi Jane is a traitor that should be hung from the neck until dead.
First Thank you for your service! She was young and stupid and was taken advantage of,what she did was wrong but so were the kids running to Canada or hiding behind their Dads and in college.
Although I was never in-country, I'm a Nam era veteran.
I don't care for Hanoi Jane and I won't pay to see anything she appears in. She has enjoyed a wealthy privileged lifestyle well in excess of what the vast majority of Americans will ever experience, yet propagandized against America and American servicemen.
That said, I don't hate her and haven't for some time. I did for awhile, though. She has expressed regret for supporting the NVA against our efforts in that war and although that doesn't balance the scales, there really isn't much more she can do. The past can't be undone. But veterans who protest at her performances are certainly within their rights to expose her.
Forgiving her or not is a personal issue and my feelings apply to no one other than me.
I've always admired her father, brother, and niece. All are talented performers with great films in their resumes.
There's nothing to apologize for. The men in Vietnam were aggressors and invaders and war criminals. They deserve no special consideration.
This is a cruel, callous and outrageous statement (liberals tend to be vicious). US servicemen DID NOT WANT to go to Vietnam. They were citizens obeying the law. Given a choice, I am sure that they all would have preferred to stay in the US and carry on their lives.
Hanoi Jane made N Vietnam propaganda broadcasts and her actions resulted in further torture of US citizens at the Hanoi Hilton.
Fonda should never be forgiven, unless she agreed to be tortured for seven years in a prison cell like and directly experience what our soldiers felt.
This is between the veterans and Fonda. Well, I don't know any Vietnam vets who like her, and many of these vets are anti-war themselves. But it is not like she occupies their minds 24/7. They view her as a pathetic drama queen kind of person, ya know? Her drama pretty much belongs to the day time talk shows.
should anybody give a rat's *#* whether Vets (as if they are a collective mind set) forgive Jane Fonda for something she did 40 years ago, LMAO. Jane Fonda has moved on with her life and is doing just fine, whether some Vets are still offended or not. Everybody makes mistakes. She's not losing sleep over this in 2017.

That mistake is what we call treason. Her actions metered out untold misery to US servicemen imprisoned at the Hanoi Hilton.
If there is a hell, Jane won't need to make reservations.

Every time Fonda comes up in the news we end up back in Hanoi. Her actions were stupid and immature, she protested around the country stateside but she went to far with her actions in North Vietnam. I disagree with your assessment relative to results of her actions, there are plenty of people more deserving of the wrath of Vietnam Veterans.
I am a Vietnam Veteran and my anger was reserved for Robert McNamara, the joint chiefs, President Johnson, congress and the others that continued the war in spite of the fact that they had direct knowledge that it was a complete failure. Almost 60,000 killed and 3 times as many wounded who got next to nothing in medical care yet people are angry at Jane Fonda. There are more important people to take their anger on than a movie actress.

Should Vietnam vets forgive Jane Fonda?
