Unfortunately, many have forgotten and still countless others have never known how Ms. Fonda betrayed not only the idea of our country, but specific men who served and sacrificed during the Vietnam War.
The first part of this is from an F-4E pilot. The pilot's name is Jerry Driscoll, a River Rat. In 1968, the former Commandant of the USAF Survival School was a POW in Ho LoPrison, the "Hanoi Hilton."
Dragged from a stinking cesspit of a cell, cleaned, fed, and dressed in clean PJ's, he was ordered to describe for a visiting American "peace activist" the "lenient and humane treatment" he'd received.
He spat at Ms. Fonda, was clubbed, and was dragged away. During the subsequent beating, he fell forward onto the camp commandant 's feet, which sent that officer berserk.
In 1978, the Air Force Colonel still suffered from double vision (which permanently ended his flying career) from the Commandant's frenzied application of a wooden baton.
From 1963-65, Col. Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4E's). He spent 6 years in the "Hanoi Hilton". . . The first three of which his family only knew he was "missing in action." His wife lived on faith that he was still alive. His group, too, got the cleaned-up, fed and clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.
They, however, had time and devised a plan to get word to the world that they were alive and still survived. Each man secreted a tiny piece of paper, with his Social Security Number on it, in the palm of his hand. When paraded before Ms. Fonda and a cameraman, she walked the line, shaking each man's hand and asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their sliver of paper.
She took them all without missing a beat. . . At the end of the line and once the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and handed him all the little pieces of paper...
Three men died from the subsequent beatings. Colonel Carrigan was almost number four but he survived, which is the only reason we know of her actions that day.
I was a civilian economic development adviser in Vietnam, and was captured by the North Vietnamese communists in South Vietnam in 1968, and held prisoner for over 5 years.
I spent 27 months in solitary confinement; one year in a cage in Cambodia; and one year in a 'black box' in Hanoi. My North Vietnamese captors deliberately poisoned and murdered a female missionary, a nurse in a leprosarium in Banme Thuot, South Vietnam, whom I buried in the jungle near the Cambodian border. At one time, I weighed only about 90 lbs. (My normal weight is 170 lbs.)
We were Jane Fonda's "war criminals."
When Jane Fonda was in Hanoi, I was asked by the camp communist political officer if I would be willing to meet with her. I said yes, for I wanted to tell her about the real treatment we POWs received. . . and how different it was from the treatment purported by the North Vietnamese, and parroted by her as "humane and lenient."
Because of this, I spent three days on a rocky floor on my knees, with my arms outstretched with a large steel weight placed on my hands, and beaten with a bamboo cane.
I had the opportunity to meet with Jane Fonda soon after I was released. I asked her if she would be willing to debate me on TV. She never did answer me.
These first-hand experiences do not exemplify someone who should be honored as part of "100 Years of Great Women." Lest we forget. . . "100 Years of Great Women" should never include a traitor whose hands are covered with the blood of so many patriots.
There are few things I have strong visceral reactions to, but Hanoi Jane's participation in blatant treason, is one of them. Please take the time to forward to as many people as you possibly can. It will eventually end up on her computer, and she needs to know that we will never forget. See less
This lack of $$ is the result of the state of MA deciding expenses for towns by setting salaries, pensions and healthcare expenses without regard for fiscal discipline or prop 2.5. The town government does not get to decide compensation for teachers and staff protected by unions run by the state. Town government is a luxury. Maybe consolidation to county government can help in the short term. But MA is run by tax and spend communists.
@_jaydeepkarale Sounds like large amounts of rollback are being used. This will eventually exhaust the database. Kill the job and hope nothing gets hosed by it. Add another rollback area and assign it to anyone else using that original rollback.
@pulkit_mittal_ Create an external table and query the table/file as is. If you want it a sql table, you can query the external table into a sql table.
See if it’s awaiting commit if there is no block contention. Short keepalives will kill session if back pulse ack fails.
Is the query plan optimal? Usually this is not the first time for this update. For queries like this that execute all the time, see above and manually kill if server does not self kill abandoned connections.
@hsprafrique Any DBA worth spit would have found this inside two deployment cycles. Also adding short keepalives will clean up any abandoned connections.
@MAGAIncWarRoom The elimination of the Venezuelan coke dealer, the elimination of the Iranian terror network has and will financially hurt the British Empire. Next stop is to follow the money to Switzerland and the Cayman Islands and Bermuda and the Isle of Man. Dismantling this money laundering operation is paramount.
Oh @Canada, the laughing stock of the West.

A former FBI behavioral analyst who now consults on relationships told me the one question that exposes a man's true character in under 60 seconds.
He used it to vet everyone from intelligence officers to potential sons-in-law, and it never fails.
Here is the questions...
@TheUltimator5 The market trades to 04:15, but closes to the public. This referred to as scam hours along with over night trading during the week. Most likely someone wrote 25 calls and did not want to lose their stock. You can trade in extended sessions with brokerage permission.
