XXXX XXXXX: I Will Go to My Grave with 'Unforgivable Mistake'
NewsMax, 3 Apr 2013

“I made one unforgivable mistake when I was in North Vietnam, and I will go to my grave with this,” XXXXX says on the Oprah Winfrey Network.

The actress and activist made an infamous trip to North Vietnam in 1972 in which she was photographed singing with North Vietnamese military members as she sat on an anti-aircraft gun.

She was criticized then — and ever since — and says she understands the anger.

XXXXX said she knew immediately that she had made a mistake and has apologized repeatedly, both privately and publicly.

She told OWN program “Oprah’s Master Class” that the event happened on the last day of her visit. She was tired, she said, and didn’t want to attend.

"I don't know if I was set up or not,” she said. “I was an adult. I take responsibility for my actions."

The soldiers sang a song and xxxxx joined in with her “feeble Vietnamese.”

As everyone was laughing and singing, XXXXX was led to a gun site, where she sat down.

“And I was laughing and clapping, and there were pictures taken."

As she walked away, XXXXX says she suddenly realized that the pictures would be seen in the United States — and they would not look good.

“There were no planes, the gun was not operable. It didn’t matter. This is an image that belied everything that I was,” XXXXX said.

The visit earned XXXXX the nickname "Hanoi Jane," particularly among U.S. veterans, who were outraged by photos of the young actress.

In 1988, XXXXX met with a group of Vietnam veterans in a church basement in Connecticut while making a film there. She said that while not everyone at the meeting became “fond of XXXXX,” there was healing.

“What I learned,” she said, “we have to listen to each other, even when we don’t agree, even when we think we hate each other. We have to listen to each other’s narratives, not interrupt defensively or with hostility, but really try to open our hearts and listen with empathy.”

40 years too late b!+ch!!!

She knew what she was doing and may her commi-pinko soul rot in hell!

I piss on the thought of her!

[sinjefe]

And a faux apology. "I was tired". "I didn't speak the language, so I didn't know what they were saying".

Bullshit. Burn in hell.

She only regrets the photograph - not the rest of her actions.

So in other words - she ain't sorry for shit!

[Streck-Fu]

This is an image that belied everything that I was,

If that were true, she would not have been there in the first place.

Ok, where is this evidence of repeated public apologies? What about the treason part?


So a drunk drives a bus off the road, apologizes 40 years later and say's "we're all good now, right?"

It took 40 years for that POS to come up with that feeble line of crap.
She knew exactly what she was doing.

[Beef]

That photograph is her legacy. Nothing that she says or does will ever change that. Tattoos can be removed but treason cannot.

It took 40-years for CBS's The Amazing Race to repeat the same mistake for a new generation of history deficient youths to get caught being stupid.

As for XXXX XXXXX and her husband, piss on 'em.

If we only had drones back then.

Gentlemen, let us not judge the young lady so harshly, after all is she a friend of the greatest naval hero since Bull Halsey, our new Secretary of State, didn't she help finance his enlightening "Winter Soldiers" campaign when his witnesses testified to our atrocities before Congress, the fact that none of them had been there, nor three had never been in uniform was probably just an oversight of these loyal patriots. Of course their loyalty was and is with America's enemies, and always will be.

She is probably still angry at VN Vets for shutting down here clothing line years ago by threatening boycotts, Neiman Marcus in Dallas opened the door on preview day, and found 10K vets with signs pointing our her treason, or the fact that her movies while loved by liberal critics, are box office bombs, so she trots out another apology tour, taking a page from our current Apologist in Chief.

I will not stand in line as some have mentioned, I personally believe that it will be such a popular pastime, that her family will hire Ticketmaster to handle the demand.
