Sanders a Failed CO Applicant

ABC News reports Democrat/Socialist presidential aspirant Bernie Sanders applied for conscientious objector status during the Vietnam war. Apparently Sanders didn't want to be a soldier then, but he wouldn't mind commanding them now.
"As a college student in the 1960s he was a pacifist," Michael Briggs, campaign spokesman added in an email. "[He] isn't now."
Even funnier is that his application for CO status was turned down by the Selective Service System. In their opinion, he didn't qualify. Was he lying about it? I predict this knowledge will make Dems like him more, not less.
