Is it your contention, then, that Kerry and Fonda have the same ideals today?

After a quick search of my own, I found some information about the Winter Soldier rally in Detroit, to include excerpts from Brinkley's book on Kerry:

"Kerry did not testify; he mostly observed. A film documentary made on the conference briefly captures Kerry asking an ex-soldier what he wants to say about what Kerry called "the crimes" in Vietnam.

"I'd almost need a book to answer that, man," the young man tells him. "I didn't like being an animal, and I didn't like seeing everybody else turn into animals, either."

The camera does not show Kerry responding.

Clean-shaven and wearing a collared shirt and slacks, Kerry did not fit in, his friends say. Indeed, two participants contacted by the Free Press said they never saw him in Detroit.

Brinkley wrote that Kerry stayed purposely low-key.

"While Kerry thought the U.S.-declared free fire zones, B52 bombing raids, defoliation campaigns, and search-and-destroy policies in Vietnam all morally reprehensible, he refused to mount a soapbox and detail atrocities he witnessed in the Mekong Delta at a forlorn motel," Brinkley wrote in "Tour of Duty."

"He was adverse to the cultivated sloppiness of professional peaceniks."

Perhaps my search techniques aren't as good as most, but I can't find any reference to a Fonda/Kerry alliance after that. But if there is, I trust you'll enlighten me.
