Bob Hope may very well have been wrong.Seems she is saying she was for the soldiers, which she was
It was the imagery that was regretted, not her anti war views
Jane Fonda was right about the war.....Bob Hope was wrong
But Jane Fonda was a traitorous bitch.
Still is.
She will never wipe that shitstain off her face.
Bob Hope was used by the warmongers to sell the war to the American public. He was a propaganda tool to keep the war going
Jane Fonda was right about the war and her efforts helped put an end to it
We got out of Vietnam because it was crystal clear to a significant number of Americans that what we were doing was not just futile but also monumentally immoral.
Fonda was on THAT side - which was the correct side.
You can disrespect her all you want, but she was more right than you are.
I CAN understand the troops who fought in Vietnam having an incredibly difficult time with that truth. But, there isn't any question about this.
During college I lived with a couple guys who returned early due to combat wounds. They certainly weren't in favor of the disrespect military personnel all too often received (nor was I). But, neither thought we were accomplishing anything there.
There's a reason why military folk vote for the conservative candidate most every time, military folk are horribly disrespected by progressives...
Bull. Gen. Mattis is well respected. Sec. State Powell was (and is) well respected. Clinton and Obama had good relations with their generals.
I think what you mean is that the military rank and file all too often see war as some sort of solution. They want to step in and F'ing solve the problem.
The result is that when people work to prevent war, when the generals point out that a situation is wrong for the use of US troops, these rank and file just don't get it.
But, Mattis, Powell and those like them do get it.
Was war a solution in Vietnam? Libya? Iraq? Afghanistan?
Does anyone believe that war is going to solve Syria or Iran or the Israeli ethnic cleansing of West Bank and the unconscionable treatment of Gaza? Is war by the US going to solve NKorea?
We don't teach Marines that they don't have a solution!!!
But, once deeper analysis is done, generals will tell you that more Marines is usually NOT the solution, even though they are the best fighting force in the world.
The rank and file LOVED Iraq and LOVED that Bush tossed them in there! But, BFD. That was the wrong decision, regardless of what any politician said,.
