Times of Change- Impact on Vietnamese

1. One impact the war had on the Native Vietnamese was that when they tried to help one side of the war, like the Vietcong, the U.S. found out and punished them. When the Vietcong found out, they thought that that person was helping the U.S. and beat them. Also, at some of the villages where Vietcong soldiers had destroyed, American commanders killed all the remaining citizens in the village. Although some soldiers tried to stop it, the devastation was inevitable.

2. Some other dangers Vietnamese citizens could have faced were U.S. bombing raids that hit inncoent villages. Also, many citizends were probably killed in friendly fire and napalm attacks that got out of control.
