I think by 1968 a few people had heard of the war in Vietnam.

That's part of the crassness of the phrasing! By "nobody ever heard of the country" I take Trump to mean, what he in fact says later on, that no one knew why USA was fighting there.

Since what he's saying is not merely "Vietnam was a bad idea" but "...and that's why I avoided service": not really, it's hard to believe this was a bigger motivation than simple self-preservation. More like it was his luck that the war he was avoiding was, also, a bad idea.

*"not really" should be "probably not"

As I told the Marines, "Find me a village to burn that I've actually heard of."

Everything he says is a lie. This is a lie. He had no moral objection to the war in Vietnam. He would have employed the same tactics to avoid fighting Nazis. Cap'n America he ain't.
