The Strategic Hamlet Program was intended to protect South Vietnamese villagers from communist infiltrators. The program relocated villagers to specially constructed villages run by the South Vietnamese army. The program failed due to corruption and hasty implementation.

Why were Vietnam soldiers shunned?
As the war progressed, US citizens realized that this was a civil war, and not a foreign, communist force trying to take over the world. Also, stories about horrible massacres where US soldiers were ordered to kill everyone in certain villages (men, women, boys, girls, babies, (EVERYONE)) got out to the public, who were outraged. There are some heroic stories such as one where a unit was told by their commanding officer to kill everyone in a village, and a US helocopter was overhead. When the pilot of the helocopter saw what was happening, he put the helocopter between the US forces and the fleeing Vietnamese and told his gunner to shoot if anyone kept killing the Vietnamese. Overall however, it is really sad to know that the soldiers were used by the government to fight a political war. I hope this helped.

Describe life in South Vietnam. Can you solve this please?
Southerners lived their lives under the umbrella of constant military men and machines moving about their farms, villages, rice fields (we drove our tanks and ACAV's right through their rice fields on a routine basis), and dirt roads and paved highways. Their lives revolved around seeing "GI's" everywhere, all the time. When shooting began, there wouldn't be a soul around...everyone just simply disappeared. They knew how to survive...out of sight, out of bullet range. Possibly, the only difference between a Northern Vietnamese civilian and a Southern one, was the Southern Vietnamese civilian didn't (normally) have to WORRY about communist aircraft. Anything in the air in South Vietnam was US/Allied (friendly). Almost the complete opposite was true for a Northern Vietnamese, almost anything in the air was their enemy (US).
