#1 WW1 was "Wilson's War", WW2 was "FDR/Roosevelt's War", Korea was "MacArthur's War" or "Truman's War", and Vietnam was "Kennedy's War" and "Johnson's War", and ultimately for some weird and mysterious reason Nixon's and only "Nixon's War" after his elex as POTUS in 1968. The film is just more Lefty dribble, full of sound and fury, i.e. feelings. WHOSE BURDEN IS UNILATERALLY, UNCONDITIONALLY, WHOLLY AND SOLELY ON THE AMERICANS AND ITS ALLIES IN THE NAME OF PEACE BUT NEVER ON THE WAR-MAKING, WAR-SUPP NORTH VIETNAMESE, CHINA, OR THE USSR FOR THE SAME. YOU DON'T FIGHT A WAR, ANY WAR(S), BASED ON FEELINGS ANDOR CURRENT POLLING NUMBERS - NO NATION, GOVT. OR SOCIETY IN HISTORY, GOOD OR EVIL, HAS DONE SO. "WAR" for the USA has become so PC, politicized and absurd that iff the WOT was WW2 America would be held responsible for PEARL HARBOR being both attacked and for attacking its own base. America's covert despicable agents attacked and sank our own BattleLine, and killed our own men. The USA is responsible for the 1100+/1 dead on board the USS ARIZONA because the Japanese torpedo and bomber pilots were in reality OSS-CIA-FBI agents while similar covert US agents simul planted bombs aboard the ARIZONA in order to cause it to explode in order for FDR to blame innocent Japan and Germany. The USS WARD caused WW2 by unilat firing on a Japanese midget sub in Japanese-alleged international waters - the fact that the sub was on its way to attack US warships inside Pearl was no excuse for the WARD to fire upon a foreign warship owned by a sovereign nation. LAWYERS/LEGALISTS SAY AMERICA AND ONLY AMERICA IS THUS PER SE AND UNILAT RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING COMPENSATION TO THE JAPANESE FOR BOTH ITS LOST MIDGET SUB(S), ATTACK AIRCRAFT, AND WARSHIP THRU THE WHOLE OF THE "FAKE PEARL HARBOR ATTACK" AND BY EXTENS THE WQHOLE OF "ROOSEVELT'S [ILLEGAL]WAR" AGS JAPAN AND GERMANY. NO MATTER WHAT, AMERICA AND ONLY AMERICA MUST MAKE PAY OUT ANDOR MAKE CONCESSIONS FOR ITS "CRIMES" AGAINST EVERYONE AND ANYONE, ANY EACH ALL EVERY AND ANY SIDE(S), JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY.

#3 Jane, Jane, Jane. Guess that 'apology' you issued to Viet Nam veterans came with stings, huh?

Jane Fonda is so over the top with this propoganda, it is unreal. Unbelievable that they would drag out Winter Soldier and display the 'testimony' as factual, when it had been proven to be false.

Excreble.

#5 Unbelievable that they would drag out Winter Soldier and display the 'testimony' as factual, when it had been proven to be false.

The evidence against Winter Soldier has never been able to penetrate the leftist fantasy world. They believe Winter Soldier -- they must believe it, or their self-righteousness collapses -- so any contrary evidence cannot exist.

Look at John F'n Kerry. Is there any verifiable evidence of his war record? Hell no -- he's never let anyone but lapdogs see his military record. But every claim he makes is believed by the left. Contrast that with Bush -- he has released every record he can get his hands on, and let reporters get looks even at his medical records, and yet nothing about his service is believed.

We have a large portion of our population living in a fantasy land. Their self-images are so wrapped up in their fantasies that they'll fight to defend them. It's gonna get ugly.

#6 Wonder if the cinimas are up to an old style double feature. First Jane's then the The Killing Fields. Nice bookends.

#8 I'm not sure how the left showing how they (a) got us into Vietnam (b) wanted to cut and run, is going to help their cause any.

#9 "Director Peter Davis's film gave a voice to Vietnamese citizens who up until that point had been painted by the national media only in primary colours."

Huh? What the hell is this? Maybe one reason we "didn't get to know them" was the fact that they lived in a totalitarian system that strongly discouraged free expression.

Jane Fonda? Shouldn't she be dead from natural causes by now? She's what, eighty?
