RE: IIRC, didn’t it come out recently that there was no record of Westmoreland being in Detroit anywhere around the time he would had to have been to meet with Carson?
OK, what record of Westmoreland’s whereabouts was there during that time?
"Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson’s published account of having dinner with a top commander in the Vietnam War after marching in a Memorial Day parade in 1969 as a high school ROTC cadet in Detroit does not match historical records.
"In Carson’s 1990 best-selling autobiography, “Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story,†the neurosurgeon tells of being offered a scholarship to West Point as a high school senior sometime after having dinner with the U.S. Army’s chief of staff, Gen. William Westmoreland, on Memorial Day 1969.
"But Westmoreland’s personal schedule shows the general was not in Detroit on Memorial Day or during the days preceding and following the holiday. His schedule says he was in and around Washington, D.C., that weekend, according to Army archives The Detroit News reviewed Friday."
