Same as for US servicemen; hot, humid, no bath, no toilets, no showers, drinking water from creeks and rivers or bomb craters, leeches, snakes, MOSQUITOES, rats, Spiders, always dirty always hot and usually damp; same clothes (uniforms for weeks at a time). Cold canned food every night and almost every day (unless you heated your "C" rations on a bit of C4 and you certainly weren't going to do that at night time).
In line with American servicemen, but on a smaller scale, in relation to Australia's population.

Why was it difficult for soldiers to return from Vietnam especially compared to world war 2 veterans?
The Vietnam war was not a 'popular war', especially on college campasses. Therefore when the soldiers came home, they were met at the airport by mob-protestors of the war..............and called baby killers. World War 2 soldiers returned home as heros, even tho they had undoubtedly committed atrocities themselves...............it happens in war. But in that era the whole country was behind the war.

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.

Are the soldiers that are in Iraq being treated better from the Americans than the soldiers that came home during the Vietnam war?
Any returning servicemember is and was treated better than a Vietnam returnee. With the one exception of Confederate soldiers returning home (the south) after the US War of the Rebellion (American Civil War/US Civil War/War between the states). But then technically, those Rebels/Confederates weren't US servicemen either. Union/Federal/Yankees/Blue Coats/Northerners/etc. were actually US servicemen.
