I don't normally forward this type of note along. However, I think this is
worth the time to read.
She really was a traitor
A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED
KEEP THIS MOVING ACROSS AMERICA
This is for all the kids born in the 70's who donot remember, and didn't
have to bear
theburden that our fathers, mothers and olderbrothers and sisters had to
bear.
Jane Fonda is being honored as one of the "100 Women of the Century."
BY BARBRA WALTERS
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
duringVietnam.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot
The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat.
In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAFSurvival School was a POW in Ho Lo
Prison 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 on to the campCommandant'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 advisor 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 Ban me 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 weights 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.
