Claiming that he was given a “full scholarship” betrays a lack of knowledge about how service academies work and I don’t think any accepted cadet would have used those words. Carson needs to clarify something that seems at best very unclear as appears in his own written works. And try taking a day or two off from trying to make people like him.
He didn’t say he was an accepted cadet.
He said in his book he never applied. Just had an informal talk with a general.
