Ben Carson 'fabricates' story about a WestPoint offer

Postby cpicturetaker12 » Fri Nov 06, 2015 2:50 pm

I have no idea why these guys continue to fabricate stories. His actual story should be compelling enough. And, politically, these guys should watch tales about
MILITARY SERVICE. When I read that he was offered a 'full scholarship' I thought that was a strange statement. EVERYONE who is admitted gets a 'free ride' so
to speak.

Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Friday conceded that he never applied nor was granted admission to West Point and attempted to recast his previous claims of a full scholarship to the military academy -- despite numerous public and written statements to the contrary over the last few decades.
West Point has occupied a central place in Carson’s personal story for years. According to a tale told in his book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by the offer of a “full scholarship” to the military academy.
