evidence: In 1972, Fonda went on to tour North Vietnam in a controversial trip would come to be the most famous — or infamous — part of her activist career, and led to her the nickname "Hanoi Jane." While in Vietnam, Fonda appeared on 10 radio programs to speak out against the U.S. military’s policy in Vietnam and beg pilots to cease bombing non-military targets. It was during that trip that a photograph was taken of her seated on an anti-aircraft gun in Hanoi, making it look like she would shoot down American planes. [...] On the other hand, the antiwar feeling Fonda came to embody was relatively widespread among the American population at the time, and, as filmmaker Lynn Novick put it in discussing recent documentary series The Vietnam War, some veterans "think she was courageous for going to Hanoi and taking a stand even though they didn’t agree with everything she had to say." More recent scholarship has also emphasized the ways in which the idea of "Hanoi Jane" has grown far beyond Fonda’s actual actions during that tumultuous period.
