The Americans supported the land owners so the peasants agreed to feed, shelter and hide the Vietcong in return for land. Those who refused were often beaten and shot. Some peasants joined the Vietcong and went into the jungle to ambush patrols of American soldiers. Sometimes the Vietcong hid among the peasants in their villages. The villagers would give no information to the Americans so the soldiers often tortured them and burned their houses and crops. The Americans were in Vietnam to save the people from Communism but their actions increased support for the Vietcong. Source: The Vietnam War , Douglas Willoughby, Heinemann, 2002 Source B An American soldier serving in Vietnam writing to his parents in 1966 My feelings about Vietnam are all mixed up. This country is so beautiful that sometimes I forget I m in a war. A lot of Vietnamese kids hang around our camp. They have no parents and I feel sorry for them. One reason why we re here is to give them a better future. But I ve developed a real hatred for some of the Vietnamese. Sometimes they seem to be our friends, coming around selling Coca-Cola and beer to us. But then they run back and tell the Vietcong how many we are and what our positions are. In my platoon it seems every day another young man is killed in one of the Vietcong attacks.

We were defending our country from attacks by foreigners. The Americans thought that the more bombs they dropped the quicker we would fall to our knees and surrender. But their bombs raised rather than lowered our spirits. Source: Vietnam 1939 75 , Neil Demarco, Hodder, 2004 4598 3 Permission to reproduce all copyright material has been applied for.
