What do these two poems and the article say about the impact of the war on the native Vietnamese? Can you think of any other ways in which the war will impact the native Vietnamese?
The poems and the articles say that when American soldiers came across a native Vietnamese that sided with the Vietcong they would beat them, take their crops, and sometimes make them carry supplies. Americans would also kill Vietnamese just because, for example the Massacre at My Lai which left 347 dead. All were innocent and even babies, women, teenage girls, and old men and women were killed. Many vietnamese even commit suicide sometimes by lighting themselves on fire.
