| Hanoi Hannah QUOTES / QUOTATIONS |
After the war we received one letter from an ex-GI who said he listened to our broadcast and now that the war was over he is back home and wanted us to know about it.

American GIs don't fight this unjust immoral and illegal war of Johnson's.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Americans are xenophobic, they will believe their own people rather than the adversary, even a friendly enemy voice.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
And we also read Newsweek, Time and several newspapers.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
And we broadcast tapes sent to us from Americans against the war. These were most effective I believe.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Because our fight has been for such a long time we are isolated from the world, even after reconstruction we don't have much attention from people outside.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Because the GIs were sent massively to South Vietnam, maybe it's a good idea to have a broadcast for them.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Get out of Vietnam now and alive.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
I am happy with what I've done.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah

I had to do something for the country.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
I have always compared our traditions of liberty, like those of Abraham Lincoln and Ho Chi Minh.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
I put my heart in my work.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
I would like to see America some day.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
It seems to me that most of you are poorly informed about the going of the war, to say nothing about a correct explanation of your presence over here.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
It wasn't a new idea. During the war against the French we had this kind of broadcast for the French soldiers.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
No, during the war it was difficult to get feedback except through foreign news reports but we knew we were being heard.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Nothing is more confused than to be ordered into a war to die or to be maimed for life without the faintest idea of what's going on.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Our program for American GIs can be heard at 1630 hours.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Sometimes my colleagues joke and call me Hannah.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
That they would see this war is not in the interests of the United States. I mean the people, the GIs, the families.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
There was the list of Missing in Action, those who were killed on the battlefield, we read the news with the native place.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
There's a policy now of opening the doors to the outside world.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Things are better now between the U.S. and Vietnam and I hope relations will continue to improve, to normalize.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
This is the voice of Vietnam Broadcasting from Hanoi, capitol of the Democratic republic of Vietnam.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
We advised them to do what they think proper against the war.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
We also have our own music, but I think that the GIs like to listen to American music, it's more suitable to their ears.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
We asked Jane Fonda if she would like to meet American pilots in Hanoi, but she refused, she didn't want to.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
We just thought we had to tell them the best thing to do was not to interfere in the affairs of the Vietnamese.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
We never informed that such and such a battle would take place. That we would not do.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
We took remarks of American journalists and put it in our broadcasts, especially remarks about casualties... high casualties.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
We would often say to the GIs that the Saigon regime was not worth their support.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Well, I think that our earnest hope was the GIs would not participate in this war, that they would demand to go home.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Well, I'm taking retirement now, but I'd be happy to do something to help relations between the U.S. and Vietnam.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Well, in our talks we said that if they were in Vietnam, how could they avoid the war zone and maybe they will get bad chance, maybe killed.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Well, we think the broadcasts did have some effect, because we see the antiwar movement in the U.S. building up, growing and so we think that our broadcast is a support to this antiwar movement.
Quotation of Hanoi Hannah
|
Yes, yes, we bought the music from progressive Americans who came to visit Hanoi.
