Maybe Carson doesn’t understand how it works. Maybe what he should have said is, higher ups in the army beseeched me to apply to West Point.
He never applied. In a way it is just semantics, or is it? A brilliant high school senior who has started his own business and made millions, might well get a scholarship at Harvard Business School, but he won’t be offered it unless he applies.
It’s not worth lying over. All he had to say was that the military hoped he would apply, that he would be a shoe-in. Though it always will depend who else applied that year.
Darn right it depends on who else applies. We were to to first seek out our State Senator if we were interested.
I agree, but it raises the question that someone in the ROTC program he was in certainly should have known how West Point works.
