She is being diplomatic. Notice her frequent use of "could"? As of the mid-70s, when I investigated the academies on the advice of the school councilor, calling it a scholarship just wasn't done. I suppose it is possible that an official might use the term "full scholarship" to someone who is unaware of the way the academies operate, but that person would not be ROTC. Who would be fully aware of what the academies offer and what the process is and the proper terminology. Given that Gen. Westmoreland couldn't have been in Detroit on the days that Carson has given, this was not a case of a general talking to a 17 year old.
