Doesn't this disqualify him according to the left/dems standards? They've brought this up about Cheney, Bush, and lets not forget Ted Nugent. they throw this around any time they want to "INSULT" someone. But??? it only applies to anyone Republican I guess. this an article from the site: hotair. You decide.

Somehow I’m not really sure that this is a disqualifier among Democrats these days, assuming it ever was
Hillary supporters seem to be getting desperate enough to lob some actual shots across Bernie Sanders’ bow now, and one of them was an accusation that he tried to secure conscientious objector status to keep himself out of the Vietnam war. (ABC News)
Bernie Sanders applied for conscientious objector status during the Vietnam War, his campaign confirmed to ABC News.
Last week, the Des Moines Register ran a column from a Hillary Clinton supporter and Vietnam veteran, titled, “How can Sanders be commander in chief?”
“My question as a Vietnam veteran is: How on earth could a person claiming to be a conscientious objector become the commander in chief of the most powerful military in the world?” questioned the column author Steve Wikert. According to a profile from the Vermont Senator’s hometown newspaper, the Burlington Free Press, his conscientious objector status application was eventually rejected, but by then Sanders was too old to be drafted.
Well, now that the question has been tossed out there I suppose it’s worth asking. What should the voters read into this as it relates to a man who seeks to be the Commander in Chief of the planet’s sole remaining military superpower? And what will our adversaries read into that when considering actions which might possibly elicit a military response from the United States
