What was she doing there anyway?

Danny, Question? What was she even doing over there anyway? It was defiance of the government taken to an extreme. She surely wasn't there to try and get our POW's released. She outwardly talked about how the "baby killers" were inhumane. When brought face to face with them do you actually think she acted with regard to their well being? Being in the military, in the air force, and having gone through the survival camp POW training, I've been forced to research many things regarding the Hanoi Hilton and other POW camps in North Vietnam. While some of the things said in that article are embellished a little, the underlying truth remained intact.

Jane Fonda's going to Vietnam only fueled the North Vietnamese's quest and desire to win. She brought light to the fact that many americans disagreed with what was going on and the North Vietnamese used that to their advantage. When she traveled their it escalated the defiance 10 fold.

Look at the big picture, Jane Fonda used to her position to defy her country. The exact details of what she did and what consequences to American soldiers it caused is of no matter. Defiance in wartime is treason. Do you think if she was North Vietnamese and came to America in defiance of the war the North Vietnamese would honor her? I think not. Infact, she probably wouldn't be with us today and we wouldn't be having this debate today.

As far as why wasn't she put on trial? Think of all the political pressure at the time and you should be able to answer your own question. Noone wins when politics get in the way of justice. Now they want to honor her as one of the "100 women of the century", what a joke, I can think of 100 women in the last decade that deserve it more than she does.
