In Memory of My brother -in- law
LT. C.Thomsen Wieland
Who spent 100 days at the Hanoi Hilton
She really was a Traitor
IF YOU NEVER FORWARDED
ANYTHING IN YOUR LIFE FORWARD THIS SO THAT EVERYONE WILL KNOW!!!!!!
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.. & amp;nbs p;
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.

Marty's :
Whoa, why is this being resurrected at this time? This has to be at least 10 years old...and was mostly debunked when it first appeared on the scene. I guess some people never stop hating... there are things that need eternal hating..like the holocaust (its unlikely this will ever be out of our consciousness due to the PR devoted to it) but the Fonda deal ain't one of them...isn't the Jane Fonda "traitor" bit a stretch in 2008? Especially since we are involved in another war based on government lies? Both Col. Carrigan and Lt. Jerry Driscoll have publicly denied the truth of the outrageous statements attributed to them in this hate piece. Carrigan flatly denied ever meeting Fonda and handing her anything. It is true that the POWs that refused to meet with her were, in fact, beaten. Anyone that lived at the time, and paid any attention to the war at all, knew the extent and depth of the anti-war sentiment in the country...the most tumultuous time in our history save the Civil War. Ironically, Noam Chomsky, conventionally accepted as the most respected intellectual thinker of our time and a liberal, condemned the war and the "liberal intellectuals" of the administration...much as the neocons are criticized today. The celebrated Dr. Spock and Sloane Coffin, the Yale chaplan, led protests and subjected themselves to arrest. Jane Fonda, while young, passionately against the horrible fraud that the war was...was also foolish, but to put her to death for treason? Give me a break! I'm not defending Fonda...she did something she shouldn't have done..but I'm sure as hell not going to be part of a vindictive 'reign of terror 'unless it included those officials, past and present, that are guilty of more serious "crimes" than Jane Fonda's.
Was it a coincidence that BaBa WaWa's "100 Women" included herself, or was it a not so thinly disguised paean to herself...like her recent 'Memoir" in which, typically, she draws huge attention to herself at the expense of others...in this case former Senator Brooke....and, oh so chi chi, among her circle of fading hags, "my God, a Black man no less"! I think Walters is a self-absorbed, narcissistic bitch.
I didn't think the "100 Women" was meant to 'honor' famous women, as an award, as much as it was meant to indicate important, influential women. Would not a similar entry for men include both Churchill and Adolphe Hitler? How many famous suffragists violated laws, were excoriated, even jailed for civil disobedience? And, as bad as they were looked upon at the time...their sacrifices, suffering and pain has led the way for women in this country to break all glass ceilings, and brought a woman to the brink of the highest office in the world. I think its worth remembering that Joan of Arc was tried, convicted and executed for heresy...religious treason if you will. Today, of course, she is the most revered saint of France...and please, no French jokes.
