I don’t know what “fast tracked” means.
I know it seems quite likely that Westmoreland informally offered him a scholarship, for the reasons I outlined earlier. If you think this unlikely, why? Which of my points do you think unlikely?
BTW, I am not a Carson supporter and do not want to see him as the Republican nominee in 2016.
I don’t know what you mean by “informally”.
Carson said he “WAS OFFERED” a scholarship to West Point.
A definitive statement by Carson.
I do not believe this to be true for several reasons.
You would have to believe that Westmoreland said that.
Westmoreland is dead, so no way to confirm or deny.
You would have to believe Westmoreland was willing to give special
treatment to Carson, but not to others. I do not believe Westmoreland
was that type of man.
It is possible that Westmoreland encouraged Carson to apply and that
he may had been able to assist Carson obtain an appointment.
But I do not believe Carson was “offered” an upfront Scholarship to
West Point. That is not how it works.
