Now, where is the ACLU who should be protecting his civil rights under the First Amendment.

If burning our flag is "protected speech" then EXPRESSING his opinion this way should also be. Don't recall any of those who were her followers and cohorts who did the same to returning GIs being charged.

get into the 'Those men died in vane' because Vietnam's military didn't have ships and planes to threaten land here.

I have a Daughter in the Military, and others here have children in Iraq and so forth. You could beat me with 2x4's 24/7 and I would never say anything that would cost American lives.

Jane broke the law and should have answered for it, but didn't because Henry Fonda was so loved by the country. You call that fair? Ask Ali about his time in Jail, he didn't get out of his obligation.

Most of the little rich white kids got out of it, but most kept their mouths shut and didn't fly to North Vietnam (broke the law) and pose in an anti-aircraft gunners nest that killed Americans. The mental damage was unbelievable. She deserved it, and they should have shown it on TV. I'll take an 8x10 glossy.
