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.
