BERNIE SANDERS: VIETNAM CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTOR:

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.

So is the insinuation that in the 1960s, Sanders, to coin a phrase, loathed the military? Why would Hillary supporters of all people think that story would hurt his chances of securing the Democratic nomination?
