KingK7 Here's a real america hero... Thanks for putting this out for the "youngsters" or those with no regard for those who have served. Unfortunately, most are more concerned with getting stoned or plastered and don't have the comprehension of what our Vets went through. Those that have posted here obviously "get it". Thank God for you all!
I am too young to have served in Nam, although my uncles both did. One did three tours of combat duty as a chopper pilot. His job was to land in "hot landing zones" and pull out the wounded. He told me that Hanoi Jane was posing with the VC and the very gun that killed some of the US troops he had to recover.
Although Ms. Fonda has the right to her opinions, treason is an offense that carries some severe penalties. I find it hypocritical that she came back to the US, had tons of plastic surgery and made several fortunes hawking her "fitness videos" and countless other "Tools of Capitalism". I guess squatting in the rain in a rice paddy eating raw fish heads and rice in Hanoi got a bit too much for the old girl...She and her loser husband, Tom Hayden never did anything worthy of their US citizenship except by being born on this soil.
If you have any sense of pride in your US citizenship, think for a moment of those that have answered the call and paid the ultimate price, regardless of whether you agree with the act of war itself. If those before us had not done this, we would be still under the reign of the King of England, or possibly a guy named Hitler...
Thank you all that have served our country! Today we honor your contributions!!!
