LEAVE IT TO A MARINE
Marine Corps General Reinwald was interviewed on the radio the other day and you have to read his reply to the woman who interviewed him concerning guns and children. Regardless of how you feel about guns and gun laws, you gotta love this!!!
This 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. It contains one of the best comeback lines of all time:
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.
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.
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.
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. And all over America, people were thinking:
Semper Fi, Marine!
