A TRAITOR IS ABOUT TO BE HONORED



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 (Does she also qualify?)



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 firsthand 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.
