Letter to Veterans

Dear Veterans,

I cannot believe that the public did not very much appreciate what you did for them after the war. You put your life on the line so that you could enjoy yours. I am very grateful for what you have done, and I know that you will never be forgotten.

-Michael

Farmer Nguyen, The Massacre at Mai Lai, The Nun In Nin Hoa

What do these two poems and the article say about the impact of the war on the native Vietnamese?- The war was hard on them. The Vietcong would beat and torture somebody that would not give them rice or someone who would not carry their supplies for them. Innocent people were killed and their was hardly any mercy shown. For example, the United States troops would fire into a ditch that was full of dying people just to put them out of their misery.

Can you think of any other ways in which the war will impact the native Vietnamese?- The Native Vietnamese people were only fighting for their own freedom. In a lot of ways the United States was just taking their freedom away from them. The United States was doing what they felt was right to stop the spread of communism, but a lot of people thought it was wrong.

+On the 4th of June. VADM R. P. Briscoe relieved VADM C. T. Joy as Commander Naval Forces Far East at Tokyo.

Civil Disobedience

I think I could. I am the kind of person who does not enjoy getting into fight with other people even if I really did not support their views. I think it is a good thing that they defied the laws, even if they got in trouble for doing so. Patterns emerged saying that new laws would not be enough to ensure peace and equality. Two forces quarreled, even though they were not always peaceful clashes. Students played a big role in making the United States better for black people. I think if I came across a riot I would get out of their, but I would still take part in civil disobendience.
