Did he go too far? Veteran spits in Jane Fonda's face.

She should have died there in that jungle.
She shouldn't have been allowed to return to the U.S. at all. Her actions were directly responsible for the mistreatment, and probably the deaths of our men in nam and here. I can't believe she has survived in the states this long without a major incident.

If you don't understand this, get educated with what happened during that [STRIKE]war[/STRIKE] conflict. Have lunch/beer with a vet someday and ask him how he feels about her and see if her actions affected him in some way. You might be surprised.

That makes sense. The age of 50 was not working for an age of a Vietnam vet. I remember watching the nightly news every night the made it a point to show pictures of men who had been kia, wia or mia. Very sobering even for a child to comprehend. While harboring no ill will towards her, I continue to have very little use for her. The years that she spent blacklisted were too few.

I wear the uniform, bro. I get it. What she did is disgusting. She doesn't deserve to walk on American soil, breathe her air, or do anything other than endure the fate of so many service members, a fate which she helped make worse. But what a person deserves is different than what another person should do in response to that guilt. If I were to give her what she deserves, I would torture her in my basement. Instead, I won't so much as dignify her with my spittle. And I don't think anyone, especially a vet, should either. We're better than that.

Anyone find the outcome of "Spitters" case?

What uniform have you worn?

Do people's opinions who have never worn a uniform have any social impact? That's what he's talking about. That's a very practical matter.

That is one way to look at it.

Try and see this through the eyes of those who served. Not saying what he did was the right thing to do in the current PC climate or even in 05.
Spend some time with a Vet from that conflict. Right or wrong it is an understandable action.

Interesting way to distract from what the issue actually was. It was in no way about respect due to service members.
