Are you stating that not knowing the difference between a
government paid military academy education and a scholarship
similar to those offered by any college makes Carson a liar?
I am not a particular fan of the good doctor but being
ignorant of the difference does not a liar make.
No. I’m saying that he could not know that he would actually have been admitted if he didn’t apply. Just because positions are available at West Point and someone says you should go for it, “I think you could be admitted” and even if that person says they would help (this is conjecture because its not clear even that much happened),
you were not admitted unless you followed through, applied and got the acceptance. Deciding not to pursue the opportunity and not apply is not the same thing at all.
I despise our current leadership exactly because their truth is a tissue of lies. Giving Carson the pass on this because others have lied is giving up the battle for truth, justice and the American way. We are under siege but I’m not giving up. There are honest men with integrity; we don’t need to settle for a nice man with shifting stories just because others have lied too.
