[edit] Troi
I moved this here for discussion:
- Born during the Vietnam War, his parents named him after a leader of the Viet Cong, Nguyen Van Troi, who plotted to assassinate United States Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara.
We need a published citation for this. Jokestress 00:34, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
that sounds like bs
Keep in mind it is clearly a biased source, but [1] says
- Academy Award-winning American actress and pro-communist political activist Jane Fonda returned to Vietnam in Spring 1974 with Tom Hayden, with their small son, to attend a special service being held in her honor. Fonda was still a recognized idol and hero to the Vietnamese communist regime from her earlier years of political and moral support for the North Vietnamese.
- But the ceremony, it turned out, was not just to recognize and honor Fonda for her love of the communists. She was there to have her newborn son formally christened and named Troy in honor of Vietnam's national hero Nguyen Van Troi.
In Spring 1974 he would have been about 9 months old, so it's not outside the realm of possibility.
This site [2] says 1975. There are a bunch of other sites, also, but they are all anti-Jane-Fonda type sites. Cat Parade 05:38, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
