Seeing the AA in this thread reminds me of a (in)famous picture of Jane Fonda. For those that don’t know, Fonda  is an American actress, writer, model and a political activist. She was in opposition of the war which lead to her trips to North Vietnam in 1972 to witness the american bombing campaigns firsthand, it is here she came under the nickname “Hanoi Jane” by US troops because of her controversial actions. She was pictured seated in a NVA AA gun and  also hosted several radio programs on North-Vietnamese radio during here trips in the region which she lated faced harsh criticism for doing, both by the american public and the US government.

It is an interesting piece of history and shows how divisive the war was for the American people.
