Her foreign policy speech was excellent. She pointed out what a loose cannon Trump would be. Trust Buster Jun 2016 #4

Sanders was not a conscientious objector. He applied, never got it. Ali went to jail for objecting. merrily Jun 2016 #5

I'd rather a CIC who took a moral stand against a war than one who advocated for an immoral war. merrily Jun 2016 #9

Sometimes war is unavoidable as was the case after 911. No place for a conscientious objector Trust Buster Jun 2016 #11

Bull puckies. The Iraq war, like the Vietnam War, was eminently avoidable. merrily Jun 2016 #13

The direct result of 911 was the war in Afghanistan. A sloppy dodge on your part. That is an Trust Buster Jun 2016 #20

Sanders had no moral objection to the Afghanistan War. He voted for it. So, I have no clue merrily Jun 2016 #24

He was a conscientious objector and, therefore, unfit to be Commander in Chief. Trust Buster Jun 2016 #25

In that case, he's very lucky to have not been drafted. Lord Magus Jun 2016 #35

Again, do you know what the statuory definition was during the Vietnam era? merrily Jun 2016 #37

I don't know if he had a draft number or not and neither do you. You don't know if he appealed, merrily Jun 2016 #66

Some Presidents deserted and/or dodged the draft behind scenes. merrily Jun 2016 #19

Clinton made every effort to avoid the draft, got a deferment and I respected him on that. Autumn Jun 2016 #22

In my personal opinion, someone who took a public stand against an immoral war, merrily Jun 2016 #27
