Johnson backs measure on decorations amid morale concerns
Johnson, a strong backer from South Dakota, supported a resolution amid a split vote as 25 Democrats favored the measure and 15 Republicans opposed it. He and Gallivan charged favoritism in decorations, citing staff officers with no combat service receiving medals, while frontline soldiers were largely ignored. Morale in the army was described as badly shattered by ongoing events and purported desk service bias.
