“He never said he received a scholarship. What he said was that he had a full scholarship opportunity that he turned down.”
“In Carson’s 1990 autobiography, ‘Gifted Hands,’ he wrote: “Later I was offered a full scholarship to West Point.” He added that despite turning the offer down, “As overjoyed as I felt to be offered such a scholarship, I wasn’t really tempted.””
Note he said he had a full scholarship offer to West Point that he TURNED DOWN. So it was more than just an offer, wasn’t it, if Carson said he turned it down. And he used the word “offer”, not opportunity. You bloviate. Geez.
He said he was offered...
That’s it...
That offer from the ROTC comes in the form of a nomination through the ROTC. But It never happened because he thanked them and turned it down.
As to scholarship business...full scholarship or whatever, it is a scholarship and a full one as most all expenses are paid. Except haircuts, if I recall....
What kind of person are you? You appear to me to be totally blinded by your own obstinacy.
