""When presented with this evidence, Carson's campaign conceded the story was false."

Did the campaign use the word "False?" Or is that a fabrication by poetic?

I can see a top commander, impressed with the young Carson and wanting to see an African-American do well, offering to "find a way" to get him in. It DOES happen.

Are you not all familiar with how the service academies use their "Prep School" systems to get (marginally) better football players in?

Oooops, sorry, doesn't make sense: "Politico" not "poetic."
