REMEMBER JANE

Subj: KEEP THIS MOVING; ACROSS AMERICA HONORING A
TRAITOR This is for all the kids born in the 70's that 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.
