Kudos to Bob Beckel, with whom I don't often agree. He has called out CBS for using a downed American plane in Hanoi as a prop in one of those dopey reality shows.

Two Americans died in that crash, and these jerks use it a prop.
Thanks a lot, CBS for bringing back ugly memories of Jane Fonda's act of treason. Thanks for opening up old wounds.
*Update: CBS CEO Les Moonves and The Amazing Race Executive Producer Jerry Bruckheimer have issued a statement refusing to apologize.
What a disgraceful slap in the face to our Vietnam vets.
Jane Fonda is an ideologue and became a traitor in the process.
ReplyDeleteI still detest her and would never see any of her movies or buy anything she was involved in.
It may be that I was in the service while she was leading the fight against our efforts so I feel particularly strong about her.
It may be Les Moonves and Jerry Bruckheimer come from a different generation and are ignorant of our history.
...or just plain ignorant.
