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 pa lm 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.
