Blur and Towd, <S>
No matter what your personal feelings are about the legitimacy of the Vietnam War, real, live American men were being drafted and ordered to fight it.
We are talking about young people who either could not get draft deferments or to whom draft dodging was not an option.
I don't know how you could condone Fonda's conduct knowing that our boys were fighting and dying with the same people who gave Fonda her photo opportunity.
The idea that "it isn't really aiding the enemy when there is no state of war" is so disegenuine. It reminds me of Clinton questioning the definition of "is", and Gore's "No controlling legal authority".
Towd, I don't believe that your friend "had" to cut heads off. Are you really suggesting that someone else, other than your friend, is to responsible for his conduct? Blaming someone or something else for your personal conduct seems to be the liberal standard operating procedure.
Blur, you stated:
"Will someone please explain to me the issue you right-wingers have with Jane Fonda? Wasn't she exercising her rights as a concerned citizen when she went to Vietnam?"
Blur, I'm not a right winger, but I'm a concerned, conservative American. My issue with Fonda is that not that she may have exercised her civil rights. Or that she may have violated laws. My brother and four of my close school friends were fighting over there. Fonda aided the enemy, politically and perhaps matierially, and thereby hurt the chances of my brother and our friends of getting home alive. It is that simple. It should be as plain as the nose on your face.
