The chickenhawks that didn't go are trying to criminalize (40 years after the fact) the patriots that went, but came to the "wrong" conclusions:
* Military Jailing Vietnam War Resisters 40 Years After They Refused to
Serve *
Concerned about growing desertion and resistance within the military, the
U.S. government is arresting men who refused to fight a generation ago in
the Vietnam War. We speak with Ernest "Buck" McQueen, a Vietnam War resister
who was jailed in January for desertion, 40 years after he left the Marines
and his attorney, Tod Ensign who is the director of GI advocacy group,
Citizen Soldier.

The resolution cited the Atlanta resident's work as founder of the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention, donations to universities and charities, and role as goodwill ambassador for the United Nations.
But Fonda's political activities protesting the Vietnam War, including a trip to North Vietnam in 1972, have long made her a target of veterans.
"I can think of no living American who is less worthy of this honor," Republican Sen. John Douglas declared. "She is as guilty of treason as Benedict Arnold and Tokyo Rose."
