Jane Fonda: US soldiers are "Killing Machines"

Hat tip to Third Wave Dave, our man in Central California. Dave lives near Folsom Prison. I'm mentioning that because I just saw the awesome movie "Walk the Line." Of course that prison figured prominently in the film.

From NewsMax:

Hanoi Jane" Fonda is claiming that ever since Vietnam, U.S. troops have been trained to commit atrocities against innocent civilians as a matter of military policy.

"Starting with the Vietnam War we began training soldiers differently," the anti-American actress says in an email to the Washington Post.

More...

"This began," Fonda maintained, "because the military discovered that in World War II and Korea, [U.S.] soldiers weren't killing enough."

"So they changed training procedures" to teach troops how to commit atrocities.

After years of semi-quiet, Fonda has been back in the public eye, with disappointing results. Her feeble attempt at comedy, Monster-In-Law, is currently stinking up cable TV. This fall Jane was planning an anti-war bus tour with slimy British MP and Saddam apologist George Galloway across the US, the bus was to be powered by vegetable oil (where does one go for a fill-up for such a vehicle?) but the Ken Kesey flashback journey was cancelled.

Now Jane has resorted to sending tin-foil hat deduced e-mails to the Washington Post.
