Who suffered the most in the Vietnam war?

The Vietnamese peasant farmers. They were subsistence farmers who for the most part wanted to be left alone to live their lives and raise their families in peace. Then came the Viet Cong, who terrorized the population while trying to overthrow the government, followed by the Americans and the Vietnamese Army who weren't especially careful about who the bombs and mini-guns were aimed at. Farmers often are the forgotten powerless people. They can't leave; their farms are all they have. But when armies fight over the fields, the people who suffer the most are the farmers. Politicians don't care about farmers; until the crops fail, at which time they BLAME the farmers.

Why do farmers leave a strip of land fee fro chemicals so the partridges can feed?

Partridges are positive birds that have long formed a symbiotic relationship with farmers. In exchange for the insects that feed on plants, the birds provide a natural pesticide. Some farmers are aware of the traditional relationship and in modern times will leave a strip of their fields without these chemicals so the birds can continue to get their insects there.
