Republican presidential candidate Ben Carson on Friday confessed that he never applied or attended West Point, though he did admit that he once refused a "full scholarship" to serve with the elite Navy SEAL Team 6.

Phillips and his being "like, super close" to being on the raid that killed Osama bin Laden is a new twist.
