She's an American actress who went to Hanoi during the Vietnam War. She protested that war there in the company of the enemy, and helped them with their public relations against America while our soldiers were dying in the field. She is not looked kindly on for having done it.
In 1972,
Hanoi Jane, in anticipation of POWs being returned to the US, said, "
I think that one of the only ways that we are going to redeem ourselves as a country for what we have done there is not to hail the POWs as heroes, because they are hypocrites and liars....History will judge them severely." When the POWs returned in early 1973 and detailed the torture and mistreatment, she accused them of lying.
