We were Complicit in Fonda’s Treason: Let’s Not Do It Again
Read what Snopes.com has to say about what Jane Fonda did and did not do in support of the North Vietnamese. Here is information on Fonda’s radio broadcasts for the North Vietnamese.
Jane Fonda can not claim that her Vietnam War activism was the result of youthful exuberance. She was a 34 year old woman when she went to Vietnam. Fonda admits to being a socialist, but it is not a socialist that commits such treasonous acts. Jane Fonda grew up in the lap of luxury, betrayed her country, and continued enjoying the freedoms and benefits of this capitalist based society. And, she is still hated.
Al Martinez wrote on the vitriol that still exists for Fonda from the Vietnam era:
“To remind and inform us of her "treachery," Internet websites offer dissertations of her trip to Hanoi during the Vietnam War and photographs of her seated on a North Vietnam antiaircraft gun.”
‘Many regarded her as a traitor for giving aid and comfort to the enemy, but she has always maintained that she was just trying to bring the war to an end. A lot of people were doing the same thing, but (1) they weren't movie stars and (2) they didn't go to Hanoi and sit on communism's lap, so to speak.”
Al Martinez thinks that the anger over Jane Fonda is waning and, “…maybe we can get over the old war and get on to stopping the war we're in and preventing the wars to come.”
Yes, maybe we should get over the anger and hate, but we can not forgive Jane Fonda. Why? Because, we are not in a position to forgive her. Only God and those who were wronged by her actions can forgive her. And, that takes each and everyone of them. Too bad so many died and can not be polled on the matter.
If you don’t think that the anti-war movement in the 60’s and 70’s was important to the enemy, just read this:
“The Wall Street Journal (August 3, 1995) published an interview with Bui Tin who served on the General Staff of the North Vietnam Army and received the unconditional surrender of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. During the interview Mr. Tin was asked if the American antiwar movement was important to Hanoi's victory. Mr. Tin responded "It was essential to our strategy" referring to the war being fought on two fronts, the Vietnam battlefield and back home in America through the antiwar movement on college campuses and in the city streets. He further stated the North Vietnamese leadership listened to the American evening news broadcasts "to follow the growth of the American antiwar movement."”
Let us all heed the words of Bui Tin and understand that the American anti-war movement during the Vietnam War was not a patriotic expression of the First Amendment. It was a traitorous movement specifically intending to sap the will from the public and directly cause the loss of American life. But, let us also be clear and understand that the American public did not have to heed the words of the rabble railing against the government and military. We, who either supported the war or were neutral on the war, should have been in the streets counter-demonstrating. Sustaining a counter balancing force against the anti-war crowds would have been admittedly difficult simply because most Americans needed to be at work and not in the streets. The freedom accorded to students was ideal for demonstrations, and the left took advantage of the opportunity.
Today, we must finish what was started in Iraq and Afghanistan. And, we must address seriously the challenge manifested in the bombings of: the Marine Barracks in Lebanon; the embassies in Africa; the USS Cole; the Pentagon and the World Trade Center twice; and all the countless other violence. Why must we finish it? Because there is an Islamo-fascist desire to kill all of us and subjugate the remainder of the world.
Today, Jane Fonda is again on the anti-war bandwagon, may she burn in the hell that allegedly she now believes in as a born-again Christian. More importantly, may we burn in hell as well if we again abandon the sacrifices of our troops.
