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 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 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.

 PLEASE HELP BY SENDING THIS TO
 EVERYONE IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK. IF
 ENOUGH PEOPLE SEE THIS MAYBE HER
 STATUS WILL CHANGE
 





I personally remember when this happened, and the news media made light of it with little coverage due to the politics of the war at the time. We should never forget what this woman did to our servicemen. If she is instilled as one of the Top 100 Women of the Century, I hope that beside her name and accomplishments, are listed, these soldiers nightmares.
