Times of Change Vietnam and The 60s 3

What do these two poems and the article say about the impact of the war on the native Vietnamese?
The poem "Farmer Nguyen" says that any civilian who had helped the Vietcong or North Vietnamise army would be injured/ killed. The poem A Nun in Ninh Hoa says some civilians like the Nun in Ninh Hoa protested the war that was going on in their country by setting them selves on fire. The Massacre at My Lai shows the brutal murders done by the United States. It also shows how the wrong and merciless things done by the United States were covered up by the military.

Can you think of any other ways in which the war will impact the native Vietnamese?
I think the war will impact the native Vietnamese by destroying crops and crops may be taken from them.
