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’ve defended Carson on this up until I saw this FB post. If he actually wrote that post, then he lied. One cannot confuse being offered a slot.
If one of his campaign staffers is handling his FB posts as they do his Twitter feed, then I can dismiss the FB post.
I need more data on the FB post to make a conclusion.
Westmoreland did not offer Carson a scholarship to West Point because they don’t exist. To get into West Point a Congressman has to submit your name as the start of the process. Once the process is complete, one is either appointed or not appointed, but there is no such thing as a scholarship.
