Location
Coastal City (Vietnamese Combat Zone)
Da Nang, Vietnam
Da Nang registers as a coastal Vietnamese city transformed into a hard-edged theater of combat in Mrs. Landingham's memory. The place returns as a bruise on the past: the staccato of gunfire, the pressure of being pinned down, and the final, quiet absence that follows loss. It carries salt and dust, the shock of sudden grief tied to specific coordinates on a map, and functions here as the distant, immovable site that anchors a private confession of wartime sacrifice.

Draft Stunt Meets Kuhndu Reality
Vietnam is invoked historically to contextualize casualty patterns and training differences between draftees and volunteers; it supplies a shorthand historical lens for Leo's skeptical dismissal of draft-based arguments.
Atmosphere
Evoked historically—no physical presence, but weighty and evocative.
Functional Role
Historical analogue used to discredit facile comparisons and remind staff of past human costs.
Symbolic Significance
Represents the lingering shadow of prior national trauma to caution against repeating mistakes.
Used in a single-line historical reference ('It’s why there was so many casualties in Vietnam').
Frames the moral stakes in a concise, resonant way.
