Marines


Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other
day
and
you have to read his reply to the lady who interviewed him
concerning guns
and children.

Regardless of how you feel about gun laws you got to love
this!!!! This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is a
portion
of a National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female
broadcaster
and
US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was about to sponsor a Boy
Scout
Troop
visiting his military installation.



FEMALE INTERVIEWER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going
to
teach
these young boys when they visit your base?
GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing, canoeing,
archery,
and
shooting.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see why, they'll be properly supervised on
the
rifle range.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly
dangerous
activity to be teaching children?
GENERAL REINWALD: I don't see how. We will be teaching them proper
rifle
discipline before they even touch a firearm.
FEMALE INTERVIEWER: But you're equipping them to become violent
killers.
GENERAL REINWALD: Well, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but
you're
not
one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.
