The facts that followed 1971 don't seem to follow your theory that being anti-war was political opportunism. In regard to this specific case, Kerry went from VVAW to losing a congressional race. To a Republican. In Massachusetts. In 1972.
So he became a deputy DA. You can't get much more The Man than that. And lo, in 1982 he finally won his first elective office.
