 | | Johnson's views, as is understandable, are strongly informed by his almost three decades in the Air Force, including, sadly, seven years as a prisoner of war in Vietnam. |
 | | Johnson later said he was joking, which is as believable, considering the source, as his original comment was lacking in humor. |
 | | Johnson's tasteless commentary on Bush opponents continued in 2004, when the incumbent Republican, who evaded service in Vietnam, was challenged by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who for service in Vietnam won a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and three Purple Hearts. |
