In reply to the discussion: Is it possible to get redemption after committing a heinous crime...? [View all]AngryAmish
(25,704 posts)43. Propaganda is a weapon of war
By itself it is neither good nor bad. It is. My point above is that she helped the NV war effort by being used in their propaganda. NV won the war on their terms. A whole lot of folks were harmed in their winning of the war. Was that less harmful than a partition? We do not know. So when one states that JF did nothing harmful by her actions then that is patently untrue. ANd many folks will not forgive her because of the harm she contributed to.

I don't know. Seems to me an essential part of "redemption" is paying the price for what you did.
