In reply to the discussion: Do you consider yourself a Democrat first or an American first? [View all]premium
(3,731 posts)87. I'm sorry,
I should have been more clear, when I say bitter feelings, I meant bitter feelings about the war and the effects on those of us who served there and on our nation.
I've gotten over my hatred of Jane Fonda a long time ago, now I just don't care what she thinks or does.
I appreciate her apology to us, but it should have been done long before she did it.
I commend her for trying to bring an end to the war, but she should have and did know what kind of reaction she would get, she's an intelligent woman, she damn well knew that the North was going to use that photo as propaganda and she went ahead and did it.
Sorry for the misunderstanding.
