> 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 1978, 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 PJs, he was
> ordered to describe for a visiting American "Peace Activist" the "lenient
> and humane treatment" he'deceived. 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-4Es). 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.

steel
