BARBARELLA - NOT AS POPULAR AS SHE USED TO BE ?

[Phil Perry]

I just got this forwarded mail from Cuz Carole in Michigan. Her Brother in law ( Mexican American ) was killed in Vietnam. . . Apparently, President Obama is about to nominate JANE FONDA as one of the 100 most popular women in the world, or somesuchlike title. . .some ex-veterans of Vietnam are suffering from boiling of the Pi$$ about this.

 

I have not edited it. You might like to go and get a cup of coffee first.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Jane Fonda was on TV 6 times this week, talking about her new book. . .

 

And how good she feels in her 70's. She still does not even sem know what she did

 

wrong. . . Her book just may not make the bestseller list if more

 

people knew.

 

Barbara Walters said :

 

Thank you all. Many died in Vietnam for our freedoms, or whatever they were told at the time. . .. I did not like Jane Fonda then and I don't like her now. She can lead her present life the way she wants and perhaps SHE can forget the past, but we DO NOT have to stand by without comment and see her "honored" as a "Woman of the Century."

 

(I remember this well.)

 

For those who served and/or died. . NEVER FORGIVE A TRAITOR. SHE REALLY WAS A TRAITOR ! !

 

And now President Obama wants to honor her!!!!

 

In Memory of Lt. C. Thomsen Wieland, who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton [infamous North Vietnam prison] --

 

IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE. FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!

 

A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED BY PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA. . . . .

 

This is for all the kids born in the 70's and after 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."

 

Barbara Walters writes:

 

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 the Vietnam War.

 

The first part of this is from an F-4E ( Phantom) 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 LoPrison, 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 onto 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 adviser 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 Banme 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 weight 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. Please

 

take the time to forward to as many people as you

 

possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs

 

to know that we will never forget.

PLEASE HELP BY SENDING THIS TO EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. IF ENOUGH PEOPLE SEE THIS MAYBE HER STATUS WILL CHANGE.

 

A lot of people are too young to remember the Jane Fonda debacle and may wonder why Obama is honoring her.

Can't be, the information at the prison assures us that the prisoners were well fed and well cared for. And as Bex is my witness no Commie would lie about something like human rights.
