Originally posted by SOB What's wrong with protesting the war in Iraq, again?
Originally posted by DREDIOCK Take note the article said "Veterans families" not veterans themselves.
Prompted by a question from the audience, Fonda said war veterans that she has met on a nationwide book tour have encouraged her to break her silence on the Iraq war.

Originally posted by SOB I'm sure she's glad to have the publicity, but do you think that she isn't genuinely opposed to the war in Iraq?

"If you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would some day become communist." "I, a socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the way to communism. " -Jane Fonda
when American POWs finally began to return home (some of them having been held captive for up to nine years) and describe the tortures they had endured at the hands of the North Vietnamese, Jane Fonda quickly told the country that they should "not hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars." Fonda said the idea that the POWs she had met in Vietnam had been tortured was "laughable," claiming: "These were not men who had been tortured. These were not men who had been starved. These were not men who had been brainwashed." The POWs who said they had been tortured were "exaggerating, probably for their own self-interest," she asserted. She told audiences that "Never in the history of the United States have POWs come home looking like football players. These football players are no more heroes than Custer was. They're military careerists and professional killers" who are "trying to make themselves look self-righteous, but they are war criminals according to law."
