How would you account for the cold homecoming American soldiers received when they returned from Vietnam?
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.

Why is it important that US Soldiers obey the Laws of War?
Those laws are part of (or were part of ) the (former) "code of the American Fighting Man" during the 1950's & 1960's. They used to have all color posters (artwork) plastered all over military offices back in those days: "I am an American Fighting Man, I will never surrender as long as I have the means to resist..."; "I am an American Fighting Man, I will always fight according to the laws of warfare..." Discipline. They were part of the American Fighting Man's regimentation during the Vietnam War era. Without discipline & regimentation there is no military.
Were us soldiers celebrated as heroes when they returned from Vietnam?
The return of military veterans from Vietnam was largely one of what can be called non events. For the most part many soldiers sent to Southeast Asia were draftees. Because of atrocities by some American soldiers, this was unfairly placed on many more who committed no such acts. Movies about Vietnam, such as Full Metal Jacket, unfairly depicted many Americans as either cruel or not professional.
