Thanks ubiquity. . .I was waiting for that.
First:
"I remember well April 1968--I was serving in Vietnam--a place of violence"
Do you not see the inference Kerry is making?
With his
"I remember well ..." he sets up this reflection of his time
serving in the violence, of Vietnam.
I'm not making word-play here. Clearly Kerrys intent was to suggest to the audience, he was immersed in the violence, of Vietnam. (I'll even give him credit for his crafty Clintonian speak.)
Secondly:
Where was he? Seriously! ("Where's Waldo" jokes aside) All I can find is the ship, he was on, remained in open waters (other than ports way-off in NewZealand and such) . . .that the ship never saw
any combat, in that time.
