Farmer Nguyen by W.D. Ehrhart, Massacre at My Lai by Hugh Thompson, A Nun at Ninh Hoa by Jan Barry
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?
Many people were impacted by the Vietnam War, especially the Vietnamese civilians. Some of the American soldiers would just kill the innocent as described in the Massacre at My Lai. If the Americans didn’t like what some of the civilians were doing, then they would beat them until they stop or even kill them. Some people didn’t want to survive through this horrible war so they burned themselves. I’m guessing that some people also lost their homes because the Americans would pillage villages.
