A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA
This is for all the kids born in the 70's who do not remember, and
didn't have to bear the burden that our fathers, mothers and older
brothers and sisters had to bear.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century."
BY BARBRA WALTERS

Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have
never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but
specific men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam .
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot
The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.
In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a
POW in Ho Lo Prison the "Hanoi Hilton."

Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell cleaned, fed, and
dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American
"Peace Activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away During the
subsequent beating, he fell forward on to the camp Commandant 's
feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision
(which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's
frenzied application of a wooden baton.

From 1963-65,
Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He
spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton",,, the first three of which his family
only knew he was "missing in action". His wife lived on faith that he was
still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in
preparation for a "peace delegation" visit. They, however, had time and
devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived.
Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on
it, in the palm of his hand.

When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the
line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like:
"Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane
treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act,
they each palmed her their sliver of paper. She took them all without
>missing a beat.
At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the
shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and
handed him all the little pieces of paper.

Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was
almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of
her actions that day.

I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam , and was
>captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and
held prisoner for over 5 years.

I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in
Cambodia ; and one year in a "black box" in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese
captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in
a leprosarium in Ban me Thuot, South Vietnam , whom I buried in the jungle near
the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs.
(My normal weight is 170 lbs.)

>We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals." When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi ,
I was asked by the camp communist political
officer if I would be willing to meet with her.
I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we
POWs received... and how different it was from the treatment purported
by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees,
with my arms outstretched with a large steel weights placed on my hands,
and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was
released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never
did answer me.

These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should
be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women. "Lest we forget..." 100
Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with
the blood of so many patriots.

There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's
participation in blatant treason, is one of them.

I didnt know the media and society had such welcome arms for traitors of the nation. I remember reading about this lady in school. Plus seeing her pictures posing with guns etc. I believe there are FAR better and more influencial people in this nation to be recognized than her.
