Maybe this news will kill Rush Limbaugh and some other Fox News wackadoos? Here's hoping.

Sounds like really bad casting.

Your grandfather was also in military service? My grandfather was a corporal for the Canadian Armed Forces during WWII. He fought in Sicily, Italy, France, and the Low Countries. Although I never met him, he is one of my biggest idols. Although Vietnam is not as socially accepted as WWII, be proud of your grandfather, few men are as brave as ours were.

My dad was in the Navy during 'Nam, did ship mechanics and then eventually went over to body bag detail toe-tagging his buddies. He's about as anti-Fonda as you can get, and he wasn't even on the battlefield for actual battles.

Is there going to be a scene where Nancy Reagan visits the Diff'rent Strokes set?

My grandfather-in-law was an admiral at the same time. They must have known each other, certainly. This is the weirdest internet non-connection I've ever discovered.

@vinsanityv22: yeah, because wishing for people's deaths because you disagree with them is better than what they say? Dumbass.

Hanoi Jane is playing Nancy Regan? Yeah, that's too specific and on the nose to be a coincidence.

My Dad is a Vietnam war draft dodger :p But also, i gotta say casting Jane Fonda to play Nancy Reagan is inappropriate. As a Canadian i don't have super strong feelings one way or the other about Jane Fonda, but i do believe that her actions in North Vietnam were out of line.
