A *REAL* DOCUMENTARY
I saw the link while visiting blogdaughter Tammi of Road Warrior Survival, and TGOM of Drink This also e-mailed it to me.
The uncut version of Stolen Honor, all 42 minutes of it, is available for viewing. Free.
Since I've read "When Hell Was In Session", a lot of the information about the torture of the POW's came as no surprise to me. The part I found most intriguing was the footage of filthy hippies conspiring to lie about war crimes. "I remember that and I wasn't even there. Ha ha ha."
Bastards.
Make time. Go see it. Bring kleenex.
To be fair & balanced, I will note one tiny flaw - the background music was a little manipulative. It was dour & ominous when they were talking about Kerry, and upbeat when they were praising the troops.
However, unlike SOME "documentaries", there were no lies.
I remember when Kerry testified. It was the year before my father died. What I remember the most is how FURIOUS Daddy was. I mean damn straight mad. And he didn't get mad. Ever that I remember - except for that.
What I didn't remember was that Jane Fonda actually went to the POW camps. SHE WENT THERE! I kept playing that part over and over again, saying how the prisoners were like a dog and pony show for her.
I don't know how she can live with herself. How she can look herself in the mirror everyday.
I know so many of you knew this, and I know that she actively protested the war - but I didn't know that. Ever.
Hell, Tammi, look around old archives and you'll see pics of Hanoi Jane posing in the gunner's seat of an NVA antiaircraft gun, wearing an NVA helmet.
I shall go to my grave hating that crowd.
