I know how you feel but unless they were there at the time most people could care less and thats just the way it is. They will stand in line to buy her fake sweat BS work out videos , watch her on Oprah and Larry King , go see her movies , buy her books etc. Its impossible to try to describe to people so why bother

Ok, so I'm ONLY 33 which means I was just a baby at the end of Vietnam, BUT I care along with most people from my generation and no, I don't buy her books, or whatch her fake workout vids or listen to her on Oprah. I think she should've been tried for treason, the survives and families of the victims she hurt by her ignorance should sue and I'm still wondering what the statue of limitations are on teason. Unfortunatly, it was up to Hanoi Fanda's generation to do something about her and they didn't...Or did they? I've caught several episodes on the history channel throughout the years about her and they never portray her in a good manner. I think the majority of americans across all generations have a great dislike for her. Most people who watch her on Oprah are probably trying to figure out what type of person does what she did. I have never heard anyone (not including the media) defend her actions. Living in a military town, I've never heard her name mentioned in a positive manner from young to old. The only support I think she has are from the Hillary Clinton types along with the other extreme protesters of the Vietnam war.
If any good came from her extremist actions (treason, in my opinion) I think it's come in the way people choose to protest military action. No longer are the troops being critised, mistreated and blamed for miltary action they were ordered to carryout, but the focus of protest is being placed on the politicians who made the decisions to send the troops in the first place. I would argue that most people saw the ignorance of what Fonda did as part of the reason we don't see that today.
Just as a side note, I wish Fonda would do the same thing in Iraq that she did in Vietnam. I'd love to see what would happen if she went to meet with extremist Muslims! I'm thinking we might not see her again! ;D
Oh yeah, why the H!@#ll is being considered for the "Top 100 Women" in the first place? And who is considering her? I think she would top the list of "Top 100 HATED women in America" but that's just my opinion...Besides, what do I know, I wasn't there :P
