Politico did not tell him to put it in his book. All they did was check it out and find him lying.
That's what I've been saying---he's not lying---at least from my experience with the same, he's not. He probably was offered what he thought was a scholarship. Politico is making the inaccurate leap that one needs to apply to a service academy to be promised an appointment. I was promised an appointment without ever having considered the Naval Academy. After that one meeting with a Blue & Gold officer, I would have said (and did say) that I was offered a full ride scholarship to the Naval Academy.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
