The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is JerryDriscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAFSurvival School was a POW in Ho Lo Prison, the "Hanoi Hilton."Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed inclean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peaceactivist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During thesubsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet,which sent that officer berserk.In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (whichpermanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenziedapplication of a wooden baton.>From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). Hespent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . the first three of which hisfamily only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faiththat he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed andclothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the worldthat they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny pieceof paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of hishand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked theline, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippetslike: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful forthe humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HADto be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the lineand once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of thePOWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the littlepieces of paper...Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan wasalmost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know ofher actions that day.I was a civilian economic development advisor in Vietnam, and wascaptured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968,and held prisoner for over 5 years.I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage inCambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamesecaptors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nursein a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in thejungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communistpolitical officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes,for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . .and how different it was from the treatment purported by the NorthVietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, withmy arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, andbeaten with a bamboo cane.I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I wasreleased. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. Shenever did answer me.These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should behonored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands arecovered with the blood of so many patriots.There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but HanoiJane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please takethe time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It willeventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we willnever forget.RONALD D.
