The "repercussions" were that she was celebrated in the eternally anti-America, anti-military Hollywood.
shareI went to a party held at a vfw and they have Jane Fonda's face on the urinals.
I was like, why I am pissing on this ladies face.
All makes sense now,, screw the liberal hollyweird elite.
I don't know if this is true, but I read it a long time ago. Supposedly when Miss Hanoi Jane was visiting, some of the American POWS slipped her notes about their treatment at the hands of their captors. Jane turned the notes over to the North Vietnamese. Not surprisingly it resulted in harsh punishment.
Was it Joe Stalin who coined the phrase, "useful idiots" because Jane Fonda sure was one!!
I know the prevailing "excuse" for her is that she was young. But does "young" mean than you are allowed to be a heartless, cruel a-hole who betrays your fellow citizens?
I think you need to look closely at your opening line above, and then look at your anger in the last sentence and question yourself.
You clearly admit you don't know it's true, but yet you still get angry and judgemental.
Seriously...have a word with yourself.
My opening line was just to admit that I don't know every detail of Miss Jane's traitor behavior. But I have read enough to know that she was a traitor to her country. I've read enough about the experiences of former POWS to know how she behaved towards them in Viet Nam.
Yeah, that makes me angry. Yeah, I'm judging her behavior. What word is it that I am supposed to have with myself? That she was a good actress? That since she was young, she didn't mean any harm?
She also said in 1970 that people should be praying for Communism to come to area.
She was beautiful in the 60s undoubtedly a highly talented actress. Also a traitor in the 1970s.
no one has so far answered the question in this thread.
She had an anti war stance ... is that traitorous?
Is theres *anyone* , looking back , with hindsight , who still thinks it was a good idea to do the vietnam war?
{edit}
found an educated sounding reply amongst the quora discussion:

Jane Fonda is not seriously accused of betraying American POW’s. That business about handing prisoner’s notes over to the North Vietnamese is a fabrication and few believe it.
What Ms. Fonda did do was give comfort if not aid to the enemy in demonstrating that the American public was divided and in being photographed happily wearing a part of the enemy’s uniform she struck a blow at the morale of the American people. She was seen then as a conscious tool of the communist enemy though portraying her as merely naive (“a ninny”) seems more the fashion today.
Ms. Fonda’s movie career took a sharp decline following her well publicized visit, a decline from which it never really recovered despite several emotional if belated apologies to the American public. Henceforth she would carry the nickname “Hanoi Jane”.
She apparently was quite shocked at the vehemence of the reaction to her antics there even among Americans who thought the war was wrong and a mistake. Nor did the antiwar movement embrace her as an ally or applaud her actions. These were seen as at best a stunt or worse helping paint the anti Vietnam War movement as unpatriotic, even treasonous.
