**OT** I am certainly not a Jane Fonda fan myself, but I consider the biggest traitors of the entire Vietnam era to be Gen. William Westmoreland and Sec. of Defense Robert McNamamra. The number of lives Jane Fonda betrayed pall in comparison to the hundreds of thousands of lives that were wasted by the lies and distortions mouthed by both in a feeble attempt to continue and prolong that futile war. They knowingly lied about the "success" of the war effort and the number of North Vietnamese troops involved in order to save face and admit that they had duped and dragged this country into a war and country we had no vital interest in and could not win. If you want to read something truly sickening and understand the nature and depth of McNamara's betrayal, read his feeble attempt at apology: "In Retrospect: The Tragedy and Lessons of Vietnam. Better yet read: (1) Dereliction of Duty: LBJ, Robert McNamara, the Joints Chiefs of Staff and the Lies That Led to Vietnam, and (2) The Living and the Dead: Robert McNamara and Fives Lives of a Lost War. Both will help one understand the true nature of McNamara's treason.

My heart goes out to the Vietnam veterans (both living and dead) and the families who were affected by this tragic war.
