    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 right but there’s no application fee for West Point.

        Are you guys ever going to answer the question of him getting the "offer" from a general that wasn't there? @daveweigel @AceofSpadesHQ

        @JohnSmith112221 @daveweigel @AceofSpadesHQ It was Feb not Memorial Day 40 damn years ago. And he didn't apply. He was "offered" admittance.

        @ImThisOld @daveweigel @AceofSpadesHQ He marched in a Memorial Day parade. Met a general in high school. You remember those things.

        @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.

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

      @daveweigel Why did Carson say he met Gen. Westmoreland in Detroit when records show the general was in DC?pic.twitter.com/aJHrw2ch6n

      @BillHumphreyMA @daveweigel huh? He didn't apply to free schools bc he only had 10 bucks? Did none of his readers have baloney detectors?

      @daveweigel If your mother tells you she loves you, check it out. If @RealBenCarson says he only had $10 - take it on faith
