Marines
« on: April 05, 2007, 06:55:09 AM »
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 National Public Radio (NPR) interview between a female broadcaster
 and US Marine Corps General Reinwald who was sponsoring a Boy Scout Troop he brought to his military base.

FEMALE REPORTER: So, General Reinwald, what things are you going to teach these young boys while they're visiting your base?

GENERAL REINWALD: We're going to teach! them climbing, canoeing, and shooting.

FEMALE REPORTER: Shooting! That's a bit irresponsible, isn't it?

GENERAL REINWALD: Not at all, they'll be properly supervised on the rifle range.

FEMALE REPORTER: Don't you admit that this is a terribly dangerous activity to be teaching children?

GENERAL REINWALD: No we are very safety conscious and will be teaching them proper rifle discipline before they even touch a
firearm.

FEMALE REPORTER: 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.

This thing has been floating the internet for close to ten years now and ALWAYS it says it just happened the other day. I think I recall someone looked it up on Snopes or one of those type places and found it wasn't even a true story. Yet still it comes back as if it had a life of it's own.

Thanks that's what I thought that it was false and I noticed it began in 1999, I knew it had been around a long time.
