Hanoi Jane Honor

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 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."


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 during Vietnam  .

    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 USAF Survival  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  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 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.
