What does a white vertical bar on the steel helmet of US Army uniforms signify?

The bar represents the rank of the soldier. If they have bars on their helmet, it means they are higher ranking than other soldiers. I am not sure about one bar, but it is probably the rank for lieutenant. Two bars is a captain.
Addendum:A single white bar on a steel pot is the rank of 1st Lieutenant. Two white bars would be Captain. A single yellow bar would be 2nd Lieutenant. This is no longer a common practice, as rank is not typically prominently displayed in a combat situations and steel helmets (the "Steel Pot") are no longer issued.Wiki User

Why did Soviet soldiers wear red stars on their hats?
The red star was the communist insignia. The white star is the US insignia. Although US Servicemen didn't wear the white star on their uniforms, we had it painted on almost everything else (jeeps, tanks, ships, airplanes, etc.). Each nation's military has it's own method and style of wearing their uniforms. For example, the Soviet (Russian) steel helmet was shaped differently than the US steel helmet...to look different, and be able to tell who was on which side when encountered on the battlefield. During the Vietnam War, US GI's often kept captured NVA Pith Helmets & brass belt buckles as war souvenirs; especially when they had RED STARS engraved or attached to them.
