Jane Fonda has expressed regret over the infamous "Hanoi Jane" picture taken of her during the Vietnam War, in which she is atop an anti-aircraft battery, holding a weapon.
The 77-year-old actress, who whenever possible tries to sit down with vets and talk with them because she understands, said that it hurts her and it will to her grave that she made a huge, huge mistake that made a lot of people think she was against the soldiers, the ABC News reported.
Fonda added that she doesn't regret taking the trip as it was "an incredible experience," but she does understand why military veterans picket her events sometimes, as they did recently.
She continued that she is a lightning rod and this famous person goes and does something that looks like she is against the troops, which wasn't true, but it looked that way, and she is a convenient target, so she understands.
