Editing Jane Fonda (section)

====Regrets====
In a 1988 interview with [[Barbara Walters]], Fonda expressed regret for some of her comments and actions, stating:

<blockquote>I would like to say something, not just to Vietnam veterans in New England, but to men who were in Vietnam, who I hurt, or whose pain I caused to deepen because of things that I said or did. I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm very sorry that I hurt them. And I want to apologize to them and their families. ... I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft gun, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless.<ref>{{cite web|title=Interview with Barbara Walters|url=http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/pacificaviet.html#aftermath|publisher=UC Berkeley Library Sound Recording Project|year=1988|access-date=February 16, 2008|archive-date=October 8, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181008102714/http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/pacificaviet.html#aftermath|url-status=live}}</ref></blockquote>

In a ''[[60 Minutes]]'' interview on March 31, 2005, Fonda reiterated that she had no regrets about her trip to [[North Vietnam]] in 1972, with the exception of the anti-aircraft-gun photo. She stated that the incident was a "betrayal" of American forces and of the "country that gave me privilege". Fonda said, "The image of Jane Fonda, Barbarella, Henry Fonda's daughter ... sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal ... the largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine." She later distinguished between regret over the use of her image as [[propaganda]] and pride for her anti-war activism: "There are hundreds of American delegations that had met with the POWs. Both sides were using the POWs for propaganda ... It's not something that I will apologize for." Fonda said she had no regrets about the broadcasts she made on Radio Hanoi, something she asked the North Vietnamese to do: "Our government was lying to us and men were dying because of it, and I felt I had to do anything that I could to expose the lies and help end the war."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.cbsnews.com/news/jane-fonda-wish-i-hadnt-31-03-2005/|title=Jane Fonda: Wish I Hadn't|publisher=CBS|work=60 minutes|access-date=February 16, 2008|date=March 31, 2005|archive-date=June 15, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070615070838/http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2005/03/31/60minutes/main684295_page2.shtml|url-status=live}}</ref>
