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 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 beautiful. We have a sign posted in our office that says:

When a US Marine Sniper was asked by a reporter what he felt when shot an Iraqi the sniper shrugged and replied, "recoil".

Would be funnier if it actually happened (either of them):
