I know Comedian is a complex character, but this is just fucking stupid. I don't buy he would care about that girl, just because she reminds him Laurie. Definetly not at this point of his life.

But wouldn't this come after the first meeting of the Crimebusters, where Sally basically bars him from talking to Laurie? I can't remember the timeline of the story that well, but I was under the impression that Vietnam took place after that.

I don't think it's 'fucking stupid'. If he sees someone who reminds him of a child he's the father of - but one that his lifestyle and his choices bar him from seeing - I think it would be jarring at the very least to a - be told by that girl to give the Vietnamese a flower to show not all Americans are like him, and b - to see what looks like her being shot in the back of the head (which was actually what I thought had happened) or being assaulted in general.
