Hilarious
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!!!! It is a portion of 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, 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!
That's awesome, shut that dumb bird right up.
Great story with a great point. Wish it were true, and televised, just to have seen the reaction of the reporter.

Sometimes I just hate Snopes....
As my friend (who happened to be a journalist) was fond of saying... "never let the truth get in the way of a good story."
Wow, were teaching children how to fight, before they even join the military. "Looks like a comsparcy to keep the Iraqi War long time going.
Hey! I said it's a great story and I wished it were true!
Geez!

what's a comsparcy?
It's a new weapon to beat you with.
It's a secret plan to keep spelling lessons in the classrom going long past elementary school.
What's a classrom, Slappy? :wink:
