    What ?!? Obama's not getting the award? You'd think after winning the Pulitzer Puke award for doing absolutely nothing, that surely he'd give himself the Presidential Medal of Freedom for exactly the same reason.

    She championed the cause of the enemy during wartime. Tokyo Rose and Axis Sally went to prison for doing the same during World War ll. Hanoi Jane gets away with it because she's a leftist, big shot movie star. Where's the justice?

    She should be shipped to Guantanamo Bay Prison, tried for treason, and be personally waterboarded by all the Viet Nam vets who would like to participate! Then she should be permanently deported to Viet Nam and be imprisoned in the same tank in which she was pohotographed in 1972!

    Honestly. Did she kill anyone? She did kill any American solders? All she did was do what she thought was right. I honestly feel like all you people are overreacting. She didn't do anything that wrong. She supported the injustices that were happening in Vietnam. The vietnam war was wrong. No war is right. Unless you know people who have served in the war, I'm sorry but you people can't say a thing. I'm so overly sick of reading posts of people defending something they know nothing about.

    Did I say YOU specially. It was more a notion to the other people who go on and on but the war and the solders when they really know nothing. I didn't mean YOU in general. I was not there but both my father and brother served and my brother is currently serving.

    SHE IS A GREAT ACTRESS!
    NO! SHE DOES NOT DESERVE Presidential Medal of Freedom!
    FOR A LONG TIME, (YEARS) I WOULD NOT EVEN WATCH HER!

    SAYING YOUR SORRY DOES NOT!!!MAKE UP FOR WHAT SHE DID DURING VIETNAM!!!



    Fonda said, "I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of the things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm...very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families."

    In 2005, Fonda published her autobiography in which she described in detail her decision to go to North Vietnam. She said it was primarily motivated by her desire to document the U.S. bombing of important dikes that, if destroyed, could kill tens of thousands of people and devastate the lives of millions. The U.S. had denied the bombings. In the book, Fonda is unapologetic about the trip or her participation in broadcasts on radio Hanoi but regrets the pictures taken of her at the gun emplacement. She said it made it appear as though she was celebrating armaments aimed at American planes, which was not how she felt and was not the context in which the pictur...

She reminds readers that the U.S. investigated her trip and found no reason to bring any charges against her. She also describes her longstanding support of, and interaction with, U.S. military personnel and says her only beef was with the U.S. government, not the troops.

    She should be given a choice, either:

    a) Firing squad, or
    b) One-way ticket to Viet Nam
