Vietnam soldiers were treated quite differently than soldiers returning from previous wars. This is because the Vietnam War itself caused great controversy in the US over whether we should be involved or not an many opposed it. When the soldiers returned home they were not greeted with fanfare and excitement. They were greeted with cold shoulders and no respect. Part of this is also due to the media that made the soldiers appear to be killers that destroyed entire civillian villages, which was not true. Many people even hated the soldiers that returned although there was rarely violence involved.

Climax of story of truce in the forest?
A miracle was when three American soldiers sought refuge in a a lady's cabin in the woods on Christmas eve. Three German soldiers were there, and the lady insisted there would be no fighting in her house. One of the three American soldiers had been wounded in a battle, and was dying in bed. One of the German soldiers had been to medical school and knew the American soldier would die if he didn't get medical medical help. The only thing that could be done was for the German to remove the bullet from the American and save his life.Another miracle could be when all the soldiers left the cabin to return to their troops, and the final words on the screen was that the Germans "returned to their country another way" implying they returned to their troops without telling about the three Americans who were en route to the American troops.
