She's correct, her actions in North Vietnam were "unforgiveable". Possibly explainable by her youth, idealism, and a lack of touch with reality, (a product of her upbringing... maybe?), but for the vast majority of Vietnam Vets, still unforgiveable. Since she acknowledges it was unforgiveable, maybe she understands that she won't be. However, hopeful she may desire to be. I will, however, acknowlege she's apologized, and pray for her. As for the rest, yes I'll accept that youth and idealism fade, and acts of such become crosses one bears into adulthood. But she still suffers from being out of touch with the real America... as are many of those amongst her contemporaries...
The above are my sentiments, and you may feel free to agree, or not... as you feel.
