Marine Corp's 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 gotta love this!!!!


This is one of the best comeback lines of all time. It is
a portion of National Public Radio (NPR) interview
between a female broadcaster and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who
was sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop he brought to his military base.

FEMALE REPORTER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to
Teach these young boys while they're visiting your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach them climbing,
canoeing, and shooting.

FEMALE REPORTER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible,
isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: Not at all, they'll be properly
supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE REPORTER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous
activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: No we are very safety conscious and will
be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a
firearm.

FEMALE REPORTER: But you're equipping them to become
violent killers.


GENERAL REINWALD: Well, Ma'am, you're equipped to be a prostitute, but
you're not one, are you?

The radio went silent and the interview ended.

You gotta love the Marines!

nice. I love the straightforward talking of army guys - the same people who call farm animals in the falklands "shoats" to avoid any confusion in the battlefield over whether they were sheep or goats

Maybe it was originally attributed to a differently named made up person?
