JANE FONDA

I was in the Air Force during the Viet Nam War.  I remember very well when Jane Fonda climbed on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi and virtually told our members of the American military to go to hell.  She was totally outspoken against that war and was involved in several groups opposing it.  

Over the years, she has been appropriately lambasted for her anti-American, anti-GI actions.  There's a picture of her plastered in virtually every men's urinal in every veteran's organization in the United States.  During this time, she has made excuses... even said she "regretted" having that picture taken.  

After all of these years, she has now finally apologized and says she is very sorry, and that she never intended to hurt or upset America's brave military men who were fighting for their country. 

You know what?  She is correct that we should never have been there.  We were not there to win.  We put the lives of our American service men and women on the line to fight a war that Washington was not willing to fight.  You fight wars only when you have to and you fight them to win.  Otherwise, you don't go to war and spill the blood of Americans on foreign soils.  

I don't appreciate what she did or said.  Nevertheless, she has finally... finally... apologized for it and I am willing to accept it.  

We've got far bigger things to be upset about going on right here within our country that we really need to get focused on.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
