Impossible to have sympathy for villagers who were like the more recent Taliban and others in the middle east. They were only civilians when they put down their rifles, grenades etc. "Civilians" who would use girls and kids to toss grenades through the windows of passing US vehicles etc. "Civilians" who would provide supplies, info and aid to the VC. "Civilians" who would work for the US military by day, and for the VC at night. I'm sure some innocents died, but that's the nature of this kind of war for you.
