No merge by spelling was applied across distinct controlled types.

Reviewed source observation locators: destroyer-005:vietnam-war (witness:00000012:ch08:p0004); destroyer-007:vietnam-war (witness:00000018:ch09:p0009).

destroyer-057:vietnam-war: Lead compared identifying passages and roles; the shared subject is supported while scene, broadcast, imagined-video, attributed-legend and model-level scopes remain separate. Current: War referenced as the setting for Bauer’s trial and for the hill-camp flashback involving Remo and MacCleary. Prior: The war is invoked in the funeral scene and in conversations comparing the cost of the threatened earthquake. (witness:00000165:ch03:p0055; witness:00000012:ch08:p0004).

destroyer-053:vietnam-war: Identifying context and compatible prior role compared by lead: Named as the war Birdsong says he refused to volunteer for; referenced as a historical context in dialogue and narration. Prior: The war is invoked in the funeral scene and in conversations comparing the cost of the threatened earthquake. Retain observed form, source attribution and mention scope. (witness:00000153:ch03:p0042; witness:00000012:ch08:p0004).

destroyer-068:vietnam-war: Both source contexts identify the Vietnam conflict; preserve each passage’s wording (“Vietnam war” / “Vietnamese war”). Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000198:ch12:p0151; witness:00000012:ch08:p0004).

destroyer-074:b74-vietnam-war: Current source repeatedly frames Remo and Youngblood’s military past as the Vietnam conflict, including Khe Sanh and the war’s end. Book 5 ch08:p0004 explicitly mentions the Vietnamese war. This links the historical event as a subject; no absolute date for Book 74’s present is inferred. Lead inspected the proposed primary contexts; supplementary direct identifying anchors replace incidental context where needed. (witness:00000216:ch01:p0119; witness:00000216:ch08:p0002; witness:00000012:ch08:p0004).
