Robert-- this reminds me of some conversation here on the newscasters that want to be movie stars and how little news the report vs opinions they spew..
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 gotta
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. All over America, people
were thinking: Semper Fi, Marine!
