Johnson v. Robison, 415 U.S. 361 (1974), was a case heard before the United States Supreme Court.

The court reasoned that a rational basis existed to give combat veterans better benefits than those who objected for religious reasons: namely, encouraging people to participate in the armed forces as soldiers.

The court reasoned that the increased disruption and longer commitment for soldiers justified disparate allocation of benefits.

As to free exercise, the court held that the withholding of benefits had only an incidental burden, if any, on religious exercise, that that burden was not intended, and that it was justified by the substantial government interest in raising an army.

The Court also held that 38 USC section 211(a) does not preclude constitutional challenges to law administered by the Veteran's Administration.
