For whatever it's worth -- and this goes for both candidates -- I can really understand how the events of those years kind of blend together.
I can remember interviewing Peter, Paul and Mary at a concert the night after Dr. King's murder -- they had done a lot of concerts and appearances with him. I can remember where I was when I heard that Bobby Kennedy was killed. I have probably hundreds of memories of other happenings during those times. But a lot of the specifics have blended together.
So I'll give the guys my age (and they both are) a little break when it comes to precise timing, etc.
Also, I seem to remember (although I'm not sure) that Kerry served on a bigger ship in the Vietnam coastal waters as well as his experience on the Swift Boats. That was still considered In Theatre even if you never stepped foot on Vietnam soil. Perhaps that is what he was talking about?
