On Friday. August 16th, the movie- THE BUTLER- opens in theaters. Jane Fonda, plays the part of Nancy Reagan, You might remember Jane her from Her younger days as a Radical or married to Tom Hayden. But as a former Viet Nam Vet, I remember her as "Hannoi Jane" for her Vist to North Viet Nam in 1972.  Jane Posed for pictures with North VN soldiers and sat behind an anti-aircraft gun that was used to shoot down Our American planes. Jane should have been Arrested and tried for Treason at the time of her return to the USA. But her celeberty and that bad time in our history, she got away with it. She NEVER honestly appoligized for her actions and is quite proud of her time as a war protestor.
When a Viet Nam Vet said they should Boycott this Movie and she of all people, should not be portraying a Lady like Nancy Reagan, Hanoi Jane said You need to get a life !
