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 impact of the war was that the natives were stolen from and hurt because they had supposedly given help or information to a side, when they didn't necesarily do that. Both sides hurt the innocent civilians. Other ways the war will impact the native Vietnamese is that their country will be torn apart and traps that the Viet Cong set for the Americans could possibly backfire on the native Vietnamese. Also, Vietnamese will never forget this war and that will lead to hatred of Americans. Because the contry will be torn apart, that may lead to communist governments to get the country back on its feet, which will be the exact opposite of what the United States wanted.
