I agree that spitting on her face was a drastic action. I was not alive in the Vietnam war area, so it is hard for me to comment. To be honest, I have never heard of Jane Fonda. I will admit, though, that I am sort of under a rock when it comes to movies before my time.
But I think it just goes to show the public opinion of the Vietnam war. If she would have done this during WWII I think it would be safe to say she would have been trialed of treason or ex-communicated to some remote third world country.

I don't think that's really comparable. If Fonda had merely been a Communist, without the PR visits to Hanoi, you might be on to something. Lots of celebrity types during the Vietnam era were either Communist or sympathetic, but didn't go to Hanoi. They are not reviled today the way Fonda is. |

Lindy visited Nazi Germany before the war on a mission for the US Govt (iirc). He supported staying out of the war. Once the war started he was part of the war effort. Some would argue a very important part of the war effort.

I don't agree with what the guy did but I can sympathize with why he did it, if that makes any sense.
