OK, tell me this: If the Joint Chiefs of Staff goes to Congress and says 'I want this guy in the academy' he isn't going to get in?
The JC is the most politically connected officer in the US.

It depends. The only Congressperson that can select Carson is the Congressperson overseeing Carson's district. If that Congressperson has a son or daughter that wants to get into West Point that same year (for example), he might not care about Westmoreland's recommendation. Or he might have a Congressman like I had when I applied who only cares about the overall ranking of the applicant, and there might be someone who is more qualified that particular year, so the recommendation would be ignored. A good deal of luck plays into as well.
Carson would have had a good chance of getting in. But he wasn't offered a scholarship, and he lied about that.
Is it a big deal? That's a different question.

maybe, but isn't this the same thing the GOP was told in '08 and '12, that we have to nominate a "moderate" if we wanna win, yes, I do remember that
the left is hell bent on taking down Trump and Carson now, why? because they tell us who they fear, we just have to be smart enough to listen...

Well golly gosh, he claims he didn't lie. I guess we'll just have to ignore the evidence and believe him then???

You are correct in that I was wrong about not arguing with you anymore. When you flash your ignorance, I can't help but call it out. But that doesn't mean I'm wrong about Carson lying. If you have evidence that he didn't claim he was offered a scholarship, I'm all ears.

Yes, I am; moreover, I knew that upon reading your initial claim, as did probably most other posters. So, let us see you type the words that you are a liar, please, and then we may be satisfied. This is how you should do it:
"I, Falcon91Wolvrn03, am a BIG FAT LIAR; so much so, that my pants are on fire".
We will patiently wait.

Really sloppy stupid talk from someone who would lead, as he offered it as an aside to the question at hand it makes for me his judgement suspect as a leader. I think it's a lie, considering that he's bright and was in the ROTC.

Of course it's a lie. West Point said they never offered him a scholarship as he never even applied!
