The war was shortened by your actions n many anti war protesters. That save lots of young Americans along with Vietnamese.
Despite the end of war, the consequences of the war has not ended as many Americans n Vietnamese suffer from agent orange n not forgetting about the landmines left over in the war.

Me and all my Vietnam brothers know about her

The hippie's were genocided. 60, 000 of them. Those soldier's were drafted, do you know what that mean's. Kid's, fresh of of highschool, innocent. Dropped in a jungle. Many of them had never even seen a gun, had a first date. Expected to fight on their turf. Where they knew every square inch. To fight both Vietnam's. Against all odd's. 80% of gun's jammed, booby trap's, tunnel's, 60, 000 body bag's paraded across our T.V's. daily.😢

There is often a lot more to ones actions than one story. Just by taking emotional sides of someone you like or dislike, does not define wright or wrong. Some people are just better talkers than others. And just because you like someone you don't have to like their politics. I like some parts of myself, other parts I dislike. Idolisation can be very blinding.

Our brother's were the one's genocided. Courtest of the British and The Soviet Union. Who created both Vietnam's. The British did not participate in the Vietnam. But Russia did. So did China, North Vietnam, South Vietnam, North Korea, South Korea, Laos, Cambodia, Australia etc. And war was never declared by our government. But it was WW3.

[Cat-bgge]

The British and Russia created these two sovereign country's. Then sat out the war, partying while the body bag's rolled in.

Hanoi Jane is a beautiful nickname, portraying a decent human being who is conscientious, pro-peace, pro-life, and pro-justice. Your act in Vietnam will never be forgotten Jane ❤️🕊️🇻🇳🤝🇺🇸

Well said, greatest smartest white lady.

The veterans, many of them committed unfathomable crimes against innocent people, hate Jane, that should be self-explanatory enough.

Well you can't vilify them all either if they were drafted and refuse they go to jail too. Platoon gave a good realistic version of events because Oliver Stone was there some were rapists and killed innocents and even their own men was it really heroic in that sense? Napalm girl on the cover of the magazine's certainly struck the conscious of the American public in a way Jane or John and Yoko etc. could not.

if you read between the lines you'll see how evident is that she's just reciting some sh*t she was given

of course, that doesn't mean Vietnam war was actually ok, but the thing is, they'll do whatever to get paid

that's why artists were the lowest class in ancient Rome
