So do you think that Fonda's actions were or weren't thoughtful patriotism?

Well, let's see. According to your definition of TRUE patriotism then Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were TRUE patriots even though they killed over 30 million people between them-Stalin over 20 million of his own people. As chronicled on a PBS series about the Viet Nam war, the leaders in Hanoi admitted that the actions of the American anti-war protestors and Jane Fonda gave them renewed morale to fight the Americans. They were very close to coming to final negotiations with the Americans when Jane and her ilk helped reinvigorate the communists to hold out much longer than they would have. So Jane's conscience helped lead to the deaths of many of my friends. I SPIT on her conscience. halfscot
