Subject: Hanoi Jane
> Please read and forward, more people should be made aware of this
>woman.
>It has been a long time but some things should not be forgotten and
>some people not honored.
>Many of us remember that during the Vietnam war Jane Fonda opposed
>the war, as many others, but she went to Vietnam and embarrassed the US
>Government and the prisoners of war by her actions.
>Many of these actions are spelled out below. It is appalling that
>her actions have been forgotten and that she may be honored as one of
>the "100 Women of the Century."
>
>JANE FONDA remembered?
>Unfortunately many have forgotten and still countless others have
>never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our "country"
>but the men who served and sacrificed during Vietnam.
>There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane
>Fonda's participation in what I believe to be blatant treason, is one of
>them.
>Part of my conviction comes from exposure to those who suffered her
>attentions. The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's
>name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF
>Survival School was a former POW in Ho Lo Prison-the "Hanoi Hilton."
>Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed
>in clean PJs, 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 dragged away. During the
>subsequent beating, he fell forward upon the camp
>Commandant's feet, accidentally pulling the man's shoe off which
>sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col. still suffered from
>double vision (which permanently ended his flying days) from the
>Vietnamese Col.'s frenzied application of wooden baton.
>>From 1983-85, Col. Larry Carrigan was the 47FW/DO (F-4Es). He
>spent 6 years in the "Hilton"-the first three of which he was "missing
>in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group,
>too, got the cleaned/fed/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 still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of
>paper,
>with his SSN 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 the little pile. Three men died from
>the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was almost number four. Another
>letter received, To whom it may concern: I was a civilian economic
>development advisor in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese
>communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held
>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 was weighing approximately 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 Jane Fonda. I said
>yes, for I would like to tell her about the real treatment we POWs were
>receiving, which was far different from the treatment purported by the
>North Vietnamese, and parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and lenient."
>Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees
>with outstretched arms with a piece of steel placed on my hands, and
>beaten with a bamboocane every time my arms dipped. I had the
>opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda for a couple of hours after
>I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV.
>She did not answer me. Her former husband, Tom Hayden, answered for her.
>This does not exemplify someone who should be honored as "100 Years of Great
>Women."
>
>Please take the time to read and 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."
>
>Lest we forget..."100 years of great women." What do you think? It
>is worthwhile passing on? Millions of vets who served during the
>Vietnam War believe it is. Whatever you decide, thanks for taking the
>time to read this.
