You misunderstand my point. IF there was a covert operation in Cambodia, and if Kerry was sent into Cambodia, it would be consistent with these facts. Government records wouldn't show that he was stationed in Cambodia; they would show something else. Like, for instance, that he was somewhere near enough to Cambodia that it could be a staging area for actions in Cambodia, but far enough away to maintain plausible deniability.
Now, if the evidence showed that he was stationed at the time in Saigon, or Japan, or Lubbock, it would be different.
At the risk of proving too much, I'll also note that I doubt that there was a large "Welcome to Cambodia - Have a great day!" sign at the border.

Completely agree with you on this one. And I said it the morning after the convention.
To that end, I haven't really noticed Kerry talking much about Vietnam since the convention. It's been the conservative reaction to the convention that's been keeping this alive. I see this dying about the same time as the Republican convention heats up.
