Boonan 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 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 himconcerning 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 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!

otterinbham 0 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 Here's my favorite military quote of late: December 9, 2005 (CNN) While interviewing an anonymous US Special Forces Soldier, a Reuters News agent asked the Soldier what he felt when sniping members of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan. The Soldier shrugged and replied, "Recoil." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
