I remember important events in my life. What I was doing when I first got the word JFK had been shot. The day we landed on the Moon. The day Elvis died.The dinner did happen asshole. Carson was off on the date.Well, that's what most people who are academics call a free ride in collge.Yeah....sure....uh-huh.
And I'm Barack Obama.
Well, Carson was offered a scholarship too
He was offered a scholarship at a dinner that didnt happen. Yep
Westmorland was in attendance as was Carson.
No, Ben Carson Didn't Lie About West Point. It's Another Media Hit Job.
Dr. Carson: I Don’t Remember if Westmoreland Made Me an Offer
“I don’t remember if I was with him [Westmoreland] when the offer came. The offer was not, as I recall from him, but there were multiple other officers around. There were several things that I was invited to because of my status as the City Executive Officer and General Westmoreland was at one of them… Honestly it [was] 45 to 50 years ago so I can’t remember every single detail about it,” he said.
Want to try that again?
But obviously, Ben Carson didn’t think being offered a free ride to West Point was all that important....because he never applied to go. He was interested in medicine.....not pulling a trigger.
