Soldiers are people who fight, and sometimes kill, which is an exact opposite to peace, which is serenity and non violence. The two opposites contradict each other, because you can only have one or the other, not both. The meaning of wearing a peace symbol, as a soldier, especially in Vietnam, is that the soldier wants peace, and is trying to fight to get it, which could be seen as contradictory as well. If there was no war to get peace to begin with, there would be peace.
