I agree that what she did was a big kick in the stomchs of the soldiers that were in vietnam . The photo of her in the antiaircraft gun and the passing of the POW's notes to the vietcong was wrong and her sympathizing with the enemy , although it could be called treason : she was not in the Military , she was not there speaking for the American people and our Government didnt send her there . She was an American citizen expressing her belief the war was wrong . As an American citizen she has every right to do so ! Whether we agree or not . I dont condone what she did . But I defend her right to to express her views as an American citizen . Isnt that what we go to war for ? Our freedom of speach and the right to express opinions . Whether others agree or not . By not allowing her to express them are we really free ? Are we more like other countries that stifle their citizens ? As distasteful her act was or might have been to some . Its the Veterans of all our wars that gave her that right . And besides who gives a rats ass about Jane and her beliefs . She has gotten more publisity from this act than her brother or father did from all their movies . She was wrong in my book by doing what she did but I have to defend her right to do so !
I was not too young to understand the war or remember the news footage , but Thankfully to young to serve . Im one of the lucky ones who did thier hitch with no war .
