jane fonda supported the viet cong, said that American POWs were being treated humanely, declared any US soldier who said they had been tortured liars and called US soldiers war criminals. I believe there was even a photo of her sitting on a viet cong artillery piece that would be used to kill or wound US soldiers.
Then she plays the role of a woman who is in love with a Vietnam war veteran. It makes me sick.
@e-lacey
Get your facts straight.
Jane Fonda is one of the few people who throughout her life has been protesting, opposing openly any wars US is involved in, and she is not very loved in Hollywood for this.
You're either misinformed or a misinformation agent.
In Philadelphia it's worth fifty bucks.

Well, take some Pepto Bismol and get over it. Without Fonda, whose company produced it and who was the star and a major driving force behind it, there would have been no movie.
And btw: there were serving soldiers who admitted to war crimes during VietNam. Get over yourself.

I think Fonda probably should have been imprisoned for what she did 40-45 years ago, but we're in another era, and frankly, I no longer give a flyin' fig about any of that. She's kind of a dumbell who'd been encouraged her whole life to associate leftist political positions with smart people (which explains her politics in a nutshell; she was trying to impress people she saw as smarter than herself, so she wouldn't feel intellectuall inferior), and I don't find her very interesting one way or the other. Its time we moved on.
Fonda made a mistake, and has admitted as much. You want to say servicemen died because of her, well, maybe you're right. So the war itself doesn't make you ill? How about the fact after having blown away millions of Vietnamese and 50,000+ AMericans, we lost the war, the USSR still fell anyway, and then we started the new millenium by starting another pointless invasive slaughter for defense corporations and right wing elites who sent none of their own offspring. That's what makes me sick.
shareI'll never watch this movie, just for that fact alone.
shareJane Finda has done more for veterans than you probably ever have, you right wing lunatic.

Maybe you should be angry at the people who sent the soldiers over there and supported the war.
