I believe that Westmoreland mentioned to Ben Carson that he could get in to West Point. Many people would consider this an offer of a scholarship.

Yes i think verbally he was offered West Point Contingent on him deciding to take it and also meeting whatever criteria he would need to.

I’m sure West Point was chomping at the bit to get a smart ROTC black student like that in 1969.

One statement and your down in flames for anyone who has been given a military recruitment pitch. Then have it pitched By general Westmoreland too. You sure you’re not agenda driven?
