You know, your country should really pass a law against treason. Then you’d be able to prosecute and imprison or execute Jane Fonda.
Standing in line for years? To insult her and spit at her? Gee, that takes real balls. [/quote]
No, Pookie, stand in line to push her off the plane over Hanoi. Go and read Push’s post.
Our country already has laws against treason. They were mistakenly, in my and other’s opinions, not enforced against the traitor Fonda.
Just curious, not defending Fonda, but could she have not been tried for treason because Vietnam was a police action and never an actual declared state of war? Because, I would think that her actions would have gotten her shot during WW2.
Maybe this thead should be retitled, “Jane Fonda sucks”

Good point. I dunno. You’re right though. Can you see some photos of Jane coming back from Berlin in 1943 of her standing on a Nazi AA gun, hugging and smiling with Nazi thugs and her NOT being prosecuted?
However, you might ask the men who were on the ground or in the air over in 'Nam if they thought they were fighting in a “police action” or a war. They might be able to offer some perspective.
You might also ask the moms, dads, brothers, sisters, girlfriends and wives of those men. I’m sure they have a clearly defined opinion. Just a thought. Ask 'em.[/quote]
Dude, I wasn’t trying to get into the emotional aspect of it! Geez, I was honestly wondering why her acts weren’t criminal when they clearly could be defined as that. You ask 'em.
