This guy deserves the Congressional Medal of Honor!!!

I like the story....

But T-bone your avitar made me laugh more

[chris L]

why for running away from what he did . He should have stood there and proudly said I spit in your face Hanoi Jane . If he felt so strong about it !

[Slipknot]

Right Chris, that was my first thought too. Medals of honor are NOT usually awarded to cowards. I don't blame him at all for spitting on her though she makes me

[TBone]

Okay maybe not the medal of honor...

[Skip N]

Ugh i can't stand that women. She defines the word traitor

"Hanoi" Jane just sounds about right. This hag just makes me sick now... This vet is da man...coming from a Vietnamese like me.

I don't like her politics but she has more balls than the coward who spit on her. At least she stood up for what she beleived in and didn't pick on some elderly lady. I got no respect for thsi guy at all.

According to numerous POW accounts, her visits to American POW's while in captivity resulted in the torture and deaths of U.S. servicemen.

On more than a few occasions, these AMERICAN servicemen were trying to secretly give her notes to pass on to people back home.

The bitch handed the notes over to her N. Vietnamese hosts, who then beat the prisoners silly. In some instances, airmen and soldiers died as a result of their punishments meted out by North Vietnamese captors.

It's one thing to oppose the war. It's another to PUBLICLY aid and abet the enemy in wartime. She betrayed Americans.

As far as I am concerned, I would have been happy if that Vietnam Vet who recently spit on her SHOT the $%&* for treason.

Vietnam...what a mess. I can tell you that in the early 70's I was draft age. my friends and I all sat around listening as the draft lottery took place. each birthday getting pulled out of a barrel. No student deferments , nobody heading for canada , nobody claiming consciencious objecter but NOBODY wanting to go there. For me , I drew number 359 out of 365 , I was safe. Some of my friends drew low numbers like 18 out of 365 , they were in trouble. It was a weird time in history. It seems like the most "unforgiveable" stuff was done by the people with the strongest feelings about it. I can't condemn someone who despite some real bonehead actions , stood up for what they beleived was right at the time. She has publicly apologized for her actions but not her anti war beliefs. Having lived through the confusion of that time in history , I can forgive someone with strong convictions but poor judgement.

She figured she'd sell more books if she apologized for her actions.

Is she genuinely apologizing (to appease a guilty conscience), or ... was this a smart marketing move on her part?

I don't disdain people who opposed the Vietnam War. I wasn't there but I can try to understand how people felt about a perceived unjust war.

Getting U.S. solidiers killed is where I draw the line between protest and treason.
