RE: The story here is that Ben Carson said he met Westmoreland at the ROTC banquet on Memorial Day in 1969. Actually, Westmoreland was in Washington DC on Memorial Day, 1969, as Army records clearly show.
That means Ben Carson may well have lied about ever even meeting Westmoreland.

At best, that shows a FAULTY RECOLLECTION of an event that happened almost 50 years ago.
What about the other years? 1968? 1970?, 1967? Was Westmoreland ever in Detroit then?
Ah, but that's the wonderful thing about records keeping - while I have no idea if he was right now, the answer could easily be found in the official records of his itineraries.
Which is how we know Carson is lying about meeting him on Memorial Day in 1969.
