She went to North Vietnam, posed on an NVA anti-aircraft gun, and generally gave moral aid and comfort to a communist regime opposed to our nation. As a veteran, I find her actions reprehensible and barring a full apology, I will maintain my disgusted view of her.

I agree wholeheartedly with you and in no way am I trying to diminish her horrible actions. I only posted for informational purposes. This rumor is constantly spread and progressives use it to undermine the legitimacy/truthfulness of other comments made by those who propagate it.

Movie theater owner will not show the Butler because of Fonda.

Nancy wasn't that old and was prettier.

My memory, the POW's said they got beaten extra hard before and after her visits.

Yep. As best as I remember the POWs passed a note to her in hopes of getting a message out. Fonda turned the note over to the North Vietnamese Army.

I have no love for Jane Fonda, but the truth is the truth and she did not give a note to the Viet Cong. This rumor has an eternal life and has repeatedly been refuted by the POW, Ret. Col. Larry Carrigan, who supposedly was tortured for passing a note to Hanoi Jane that she passed on to the Viet Cong. Another story, attributed to pilot Jerry Driscoll (no relation to my family) tells of a soldier who spit at Jane and was beaten severely. Larry Carrigan and Jerry Driscoll have both repeatedly refuted all the stories.

"It's a figment of somebody's imagination," says Ret. Col. Larry Carrigan, one of the servicemen mentioned in the 'slips of paper' incident. Carrigan was shot down over North Vietnam in 1967 and did spend time in a POW camp. He has no idea why the story was attributed to him, saying, "I never met Jane Fonda."

The tale about a defiant serviceman who spit at Jane Fonda and is severely beaten as a result is often attributed to Air Force pilot Jerry Driscoll. He has repeatedly stated on the record that it did not originate with him.

There's enough in Fonda's past to put her on my "sorry you're in quick sand, but I don't have a rope list" without adding this one that's untrue.
