His whole point was based on the fact that HE - John Kerry, War Hero - was in a country he wasn't supposed to be in, being shot at by people who weren't supposed to be shooting at him, under the orders of a - in his estimation - bad President.
So, the Senate floor statement is a bald-faced lie to its core. The date/time is relevant to the entire feeling he was trying to convey.
That it also happened on Johnson's - not Nixon's - watch, further discredits his entire statement.

If all he got wrong is the date, then nothing you say makes any sense. Particularly your last sentence, since the original statements referred to a period when Johnson was still in office, and if he was actually there later, Nixon might well have been in office (i.e., 1/69 and thereafter).
