Carson: West Point scholarship account could have been clearer

Where did he say he received a full scholarship?

No, Ben Carson Didn't Lie About West Point. It's Another Media Hit Job.

His own words: I guess it could have been more clarified," Carson told Fox News in an interview.

The question is, was this admission of Ben Carson in his book:

"West Point has occupied a central place in Carson’s personal story for years. According to a tale told in his book, “Gifted Hands,” the then-17 year old was introduced in 1969 to Gen. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by the offer of a “full scholarship” to the military academy."

Now if Ben Carson, been saying this for years, Carson has said he was offered a “full scholarship” to the U.S. Military Academy while he was a high-achieving high-school ROTC cadet in the late 1960s. But Carson never applied to West Point, was never accepted — and never received a formal scholarship offer. West Point doesn’t offer scholarships; all cadets attend for free.

That is what has been the practice for all military personnel, FREE EDUCATION.

What is wrong with the Republican Party when a man like this can become a front runner for Republicans in the presidential bid for the Nations top JOB? WOW!

You quoted everyone but Carson himself:

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.

Steve, have you ever been in the Military?

No Ron but I can read. Where in Carson's book does he say he applied to West Point?

the westPoint thing is NO big Deal

--- all of the African American Baby Boomer Youth that graduated in 50s-60s were Offered Scholarships ANYWHERE

REMEMBER affirmativeAction

That Quotes that Prove Dr. Carson has been operating on his OWN brain are......

-----"Obamacare worst thing since slavery"

-----"Muslims cannot run for American Democratic Office....."

-----"Joseph had the pyramids to store grain, hermetically"

-----"You, BIASES MEDIA, SHOULD want to KNOW why Occidental College...Sealed the Records of now Elected Twice USA President Baraaka Hussein Obama....?

Please 'selfProfessed' racistlyIgnorant 'whiteMen' take that Dr. Ben Frankenstein and bury him.......

Did you see his press conference last night? These are the words that came out of his mouth, that he turn down a full scholarship” to the military academy." NOW STEVEN, check out the link of him saying these words.

Will that be good enough for you?

Ben Carson's West Point, youth recollections come under question http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/rep...

I am standing by...

"If I had a general come up to me when I was 17 years old and try to convince me to go to West Point and he told me my expenses would be paid, I don't think it would be so far-fetched to think he offered me a scholarship," said Warren Galkin, 86, of Warwick, Rhode Island, who has given money to a political action committee supporting Carson's campaign.

Carson's credibility doesn't worry me. Hillary's does.

Steven,

Don't tell me about what someone else said. I asked you to view this link and we can talk about what you heard for yourself.

How view the link and comeback and let's talk about what you heard, ok?

I did view the link, that's where I got the quote. I saw Ben answering questions about last night and he was pissed!

Did you see where he said: That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by the offer of a “full scholarship” to the military academy.

This is the LIE This pathological liar told and got busted on.

Here's more than a few sound bite seconds

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/201...

Wait a Minute Steve, did you see in the video what Ben said about telling, the offer of a “full scholarship” to the military academy which he is now denying that he ever said?

I've watched all the videos Ron.

The question was: did you see in the video what Ben said about talking about, the offer of a “full scholarship” to the military academy which he is now denying that he ever said?

If you had watched the full 19 minute video I posted Ron, YOU would have heard what he said. You are one brainswashed liberal.

What is the matter Steven? You must see that Ben Carson is lying through his teeth too and got busted for it. Now you don't want to admit it so you are trying to change the subject, fast but I see you. Why do you put up with that?

I guess you also believe that Joseph of the Bible build the pyramids in Egypt to store grain like Ben Carson said too?

What I guess Ron is that you are a blind follower of the Democratic party.

STEVEN,

I will not engage in name calling because when you do this, you have lost your point.

Did Republican front runner candidate for President Ben Carson say those things?

Stop trying to get me to support your hype Ron.

Steven,

You can surport anyone you like. Did Ben say those things or not?

Ron, Ben Carson is not a pathological liar, Hillary Clinton is.

There's lots of things I judge a candidate on, but his use of words to describe free tuition isn't one of them.

I was offered a full scholarship to go to Air Force Officer Training School. So what?

"Ron, Ben Carson is not a pathological liar, Hillary Clinton is."

The media whores are all over Ben.

There is no such thing as a full scholarship to go to Air Force Officer Training School, that is the point Steven.

That's what I'm saying Ron. The point is, the Air Force wanted me and I turned them down.

That's what I said, the media whores are all over him. Sometimes Joe is okay and sometimes he's an idiot.

Ben is getting free press but what is his policy for the country, do you know?

What I know is Ben Carson has a proven record of a rational, scientific approach to problems. Hillary is too stupid to even secure a simple email server. Plus, look how she turned on Bernie with that s*xism crap.

YOUR WORDS: What I know is Ben Carson has a proven record of a rational, scientific approach to problems.

This is the same man that said Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Is this rational, or scientific?


Where is his policies to run this country, don't you think we the people should have seen something by now.

Watch Trump us Carson and Bush vs Rubio Tonight as the GOP clown Car rolls on.

WHAT!!! can you put more clarity to your last statement.

The inder cards. Isn't that what they called it? It was much, much better than the main debate.

What are Inder card? I can't find that term on the inter net.

Undercard. I don't know why they call it the undercard debate but since the do I figured the debaters were the under cards.

I see, another one of those TYPE "O's." WOW! I have no clue.

the westPoint thing is NO big Deal
