We also have his claim about trying to stab someone.... which no one knows about. We have his claim that he was a "gangsta" growing up, but his neighbors remember him as a nerd with thick glasses. And even that bastion of the "liberal" media, the Wall Street Journal noted that he was full of shit in claiming to have defended white classmates during a riot. How many lies does it take to be a liar? Add on his attempts to weasel himself out of business dealings with a corrupt company and a picture emerges of a man who is either a complete liar or delusional.Sure, Carson is a whack job but so is all of the other candidates. There isn't one that's worth a damn except for maybe Sanders. They are all insane liars. But as for the USMA story goes there's no objective proof that what Carson said about being promised a "full ride" is a lie. It's certainly questionable if the person who supposedly made the promise had the stuff to deliver on it.

Although Charles Rangel isn't involved in this story if he had been there would have been a zero chance that Rangel would have nominated Carson for one of the slots. That guy would rather crap 100 spiny cactuses than nominate a black person for a slot at one of the military academies.
The bottom line: Carson said that someone made him a promise. He never claimed that it ever went beyond a private conversation. So the media is just filling the air with shit about this particular issue. There's probably 500 other things they could nail his behind to the wall with but this isn't one of them.
