I'm sure it made her Father, Henry Fonda, a Navy Veteran, sick to his stomach to see his daughter do such a thing

Most people don't say they "hate" anybody, but the vitriol is still there.

That said... what if Angelena Jolie went to Iraq in 2003 or 2004 and posed with Jihadis who held a number of captives? how popular do you think that decision would have been? would she be right to tote along a camera crew and meet up, shake hands and trade jokes with known accomplices of Bin Laden? would that stigma follow her around for the next 40-50 years? more?

I think I made a decent case for North Vietnam not being the bad guys in that case. Yes, they held prisoners, but only ones who were captured making war on them and their country. Yes, many of those prisoners were mistreated, and they shouldn't have been. That said, if we hadn't been in their country making war on them none of those men would have been prisoners.
You're comparing that to a group of people who have come to our country and killed thousands; a group of people who are currently in the business of capturing innocent civilians and brutally murdering them on camera; a group of people who seem to enjoy giving that treatment to anybody who disagrees with their religion.

I liken the two scenarios. difference is one happened the other is hypothetical but is more "in our present time".

And I see a huge difference, not just in the era during which it happened, but in pretty much everything.

In the same sentence she says it was a regrettable thing to do... then turns around and says poor me im only picked on over it because im an easy target.

As I once said: "I used to be young and stupid. Things have changed. I got older."
She also said that she regretted posing for those photographs, but not for going there in the first place. Sorry, but I agree with her.
