Here's another irony: It may seem odd to somebody who hasn't been a professional military guy (or gal) but I hold no grudge or enmity against the North Vietnamese - but still hold a tremendous grudge against people like Fonda.
I've shaken the hand of more than one of my former enemies, and meant it. We both fought as professionals, more or less evenly matched in skill, honor and dedication to our respective causes. In short, we were in the same brotherhood, even if on different sides. I respect them.
Those like Fonda are another story. If Jane had an "adult toy" made of dynamite, I'd gladly light the fuse and shove it home.
