I won't watch her movies. Other Hollywood types may make anti-American comments now and then, but I can brush them off. What she did - aid and comfort of the enemy and pretending to shoot down American aircraft - is unforgivable. IMHO.
 
Was never in the Armed Forces, but I lost a couple of friends serving in 'Nam. Hanoi Jane will never be forgiven by me.
 
Fonda's life arc is consistent: Jane saves America (Viet Nam); Jane saves America (exercise queen); Jane saves America (love and peace through religion). She's gone from movie star's daughter to superstar herself to billionaire's wife to work-out queen to transfiguration. Not a whole lot of reality to hang on to there.
 
It's difficult to explain how it makes an older guy, who tried to do what he thought was "right" at the time when he was young, feel when he reads the story of her asking pilots who had been shot down, captured, and tortured--"Are you sorry you bombed babies"? Or reading about "her" handing the little secret notes with their SS numbers the POW's wanted her to take back home to let their families know that they were still alive to the cruel commander of the Hanoi Hilton, or to see her sitting proudly on that Russian triple A with a NVA helmet on her head. I AM a little nuts today. I can do better when I know her name is coming, but when I hear it out of the blue...well, some of you older guys know. Certain things make it worse for me.
 
Jane Fonda - a woman who set the trend for many of the empty (M-T) minded trash of Hollywood today.

The little secret notes story is bogus. The POWs I know say it never happened. The Fourth Allied POW Wing, which comprises our POWs who were imprisoned by the North Vietnamese, say the "little slivers of paper" incident never happened.

Gonna make enemies here and say that 'Barefoot in the Park' is one of the best stage-to-film transitions out there, along with 'Les Diner de Cons' and 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf'.

I do understand the resentment though.
 
I recently read "Honor Bound" a large overview of the POW's held by the Viet Cong, North-Vietnamese, and Pathet Lao. Recommend highly.

What those guys went through was . . . incredible. One of the toughest things that they had to deal with was visitations by the so called "Peace" and anti-war personnel. The degredation, torture, filth, and humiliation that these men had to put up with on a daily basis, many of them FOR YEARS on end---those are some truly tough hombres.

As far as Ms. Fonda is concerned, she is a rank opportunist. But we need not worry:

"Be not decieved, God is not mocked, --for whatsover a man soweth, that shall he also reap." God help her.
