Flash back, the year is 1972. The United States in deeply divided over the Vietnam War, US soldiers are fighting and dieing over seas, and Jane Fonda goes to Hanoi.

While there she posed at a North Vietnamese Anti-Aircraft gun, did radio broadcasts, and called American Prisoners of War “hypocrites and liars” when they came forward with stories of torture, leading to the nickname “Hanoi Jane.”

At the time there was serious discussion over whether or not she should be charged with treason for giving “aid and comfort” to an enemy in a time of war. She was not indicted but is despised to this day in many circles, especially the armed forces and veterans organizations.

Normally this would be not be an issue in 2012 other than in history books, but Hollywood has brought it back into the limelight.

The Butler

is a movie set to be released in 2013, that tells the story of Eugene Allen, a White House butler who served eight administrations from Harry Truman to Ronald Reagan. The film has cast Fonda to play Nancy Reagan, the wife of President Ronald Reagan.

Reagan was an Army veteran, and a great supporter of the military and the exact opposite of Fonda on just about everything.

The casting of “Hanoi Jane” to play Nancy Reagan is an insult to her, the late Ronald Reagan and a slap in the face to all of Reagan’s admirers.

Hollywood has always been liberal and an opponent of President Reagan, and almost 10 years after his death they continue to disrespect him. This was a pure political and publicity stunt by the film industry.

They want people discussing their film, and the controversy it stired up, and they were aiming to outrage people and draw even more attention.

Hopefully this movie will flop as many other liberal movies have. I personally found the plot interesting, but I will not give any of my money to an industry sponsoring Jane Fonda, who aided the enemy and attacked U.S. service men at home.
