Pathetic desperation. The lie has been exposed and rather then admit the lie, the attack bots cling to it.

Why does anyone take these habitual liars seriously?

At the end of my twelfth grade I marched at the head of the Memorial Day parade. I felt so proud, my chest bursting with ribbons and braids of every kind. To make it more wonderful, We had important visitors that day. Two soldiers who had won the Congressional Medal of Honor in Viet Nam were present. More exciting to me, General William Westmoreland (very prominent in the Viet Nam war) attended with an impressive entourage. Afterward, Sgt. Hunt introduced me to General Westmoreland, and I had dinner with him and the Congressional Medal winners. Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point. I didn’t refuse the scholarship outright, but I let them know that a military career wasn;t where I saw myself going.

I don’t like the way that you post things multiple times.

There is no such thing as a West Point scholarship. The education is free - if you get in.

As a grad, his whole story about it is such obvious BS that I’m surprised no one on FB called him on it.

it seems Carson should know it’s the Medal Of Honor and one doesn’t “win” it.
