I forgave Ms. Fonda for any of what she did. I got tired of carrying around that little bracket of hate. And as far as questioning what I was doing and wondering if her opinions/actions made me wonder if what I was doing was right - I don't believe so. Ever coordinated artillery and aircraft at the same time? While being shot at? Sorry I was busy that day.

Ms. Fonda did what she thought was right. Whether or not I agree with her is immaterial. Big Mick makes a strong point and I agree with my Brother for the most part. The other piece is also predicated on natural human instinct. To attempt harm to what is harming us. Ms. Fonda made as good a target as anyone did. It's hard to slug the system - but make a big enough name and you can symbolically be linked to its ideology - therefore an object of anger and hate.

Returning veterans had their own hell to go through. That Ms. Fonda's compatriots blamed the war, and its success or failure, on the returning veteran is the failure of society, media hyperbole, and myth perpetuated by people with other agendas. Much the same as the myth that has been perpetuated by those who place Ms. Fonda stickers in urinals. Makes as much sense to blame the war on me as to blame the problems of veterans on Ms. Fonda.

And I don't know any songs either.
