KEEP THIS MOVING;
ACROSS AMERICA
HONORING A TRAITOR
This is for all the kids born in the 70's who
do not remember this, 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."
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 dragged away.
During the subsequent beating, he fell forward
upon the camp Commandant's feet, which
sent that officer berserk. In '78, the AF Col.
still suffered from double vision (which
permanently ended his flying days) from
the Vietnamese Col.'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 "Hilton"- the first three
of which he was "missing in action".
His wife lived on faith that he was still alive.
His group, too, got the cleaned, fed, 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
still survived. Each man secreted a tiny
piece of paper, with his SSN on it, in the palm
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 the little pile of papers. Three men died
from the subsequent beatings. Col. Carrigan was
almost number four but he survived, which is the
only reason we know about 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 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 was weighing approximately 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 Jane Fonda. I said yes, for I would
like to tell her about the real treatment we
POWs received different from the treatment
purported by the North Vietnamese, and
parroted by Jane Fonda, as "humane and
lenient." Because of this, I spent three days on a
rocky floor on my knees with outstretched arms with a
large amount of steel placed on my hands,
and beaten with a bamboo cane till my arms dipped.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda
for a couple of hours after I was released.
I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV.
She did not answer me.
This does 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.
