Best Answer

Johnny Cash was no stranger to controversy. During the Viet Nam War, through his music he tried to get others to understand that the war was wrong, and also did his best to get the older generation to understand the younger generation.

Johnny Cash has always supported the military of the United States, and his love for God and Country. But, when it came to the problem of the war in the 1960s and into the 1970s, Johnny's view is still what divides this nation today when it comes to the topic of Viet Nam.

Also, his weekly television show, which ran on ABC, from 1969 to 1971 was also a big boost to his career.
