She went to tour the countrys dike system, which was rumored to have been intentionally bombed by American forces something the U.S. government to this day forcefully denies. During her two-week stay, Fonda concluded that America was unjustly bombing farmland and areas far flung from military targets. North Vietnamese press reported and Fonda lat...
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Jane Fondas 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. I, personally, think that this is shame on us, the American Citizenry. Part of our shortfall is ignorance: Most dont know suc...
In 1978, the Commandant of the USAF Survival School, a colonel, 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 hed received. He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and...
In 78, the AF colonel still suffered from double vision permanently grounding him from the Vietnamese officers frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1983-85, Col. Larry Carrigan was 347FW/DO (F-4Es). Hed spent 6 [product] years in the Hilton the first three of which he was listed as MIA. 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.

I dont know that they used it, but the charge of Negligent Homicide due to Depraved Indifference would also seem appropriate. Her obvious granting of aid and comfort to the enemy alone shouldve bee...
The seven men who met with [Fonda] were not coerced into the meeting; indeed, many more pilots wanted to meet with her than were able. The entire camp that I was in when Jane Fonda visited wanted to see her, former POW Edison Miller said, although he didnt even know who Jane Fonda was. Miller only wanted to see her because he knew she was Henry Fon...
The seven POWs and Fonda met around a large table surrounded by chairs. It was a typical meeting between international visitors and American airmen: low-key, filled with small talk, inquiries from the airmen about particular bits of news and sports from home, conversations about their families, requests to call them and pass on a message.
Lets set the record straight. It has been reported on the Internet in recent years that POWs surreptitiously slipped Fonda messages which she turned over to the North Vietnamese. That story is false. Also untrue is that any POW died for refusing to meet with Fonda.

Jul 16, 2022 · It hurts me and it will to my grave that I made a huge, huge mistake. Her dedication to the peace movement came at a cost. Fonda's anti-Vietnam protests put her firmly in the sights of the FBI and CIA. In 1970, Fonda, then aged 32, spent the night in a Cleveland jail on fabricated charges of drug smuggling.
