    In Gifted Hands, Carson notes that he only had the $ to apply to one school. IE, he never applied to West Point.pic.twitter.com/XWhRThgRzW

        @daveweigel However, it doesn't cost anything to apply to west point. Noms go through congressmen and a few select others.

        @JohnSmith112221 @daveweigel @AceofSpadesHQ He probably met Gen Palmer on Mem Day. Westmoreland surely wasnt the only Gen he ever met.

        Could be. I'm willing to say this is sloppy editing/puffery. @ImThisOld @daveweigel @AceofSpadesHQ The "honesty" award is something else.
